Summary
Bethesda fans are thrilled to revisit Cyrodiil with *The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered*, but the Skyblivion team, a volunteer project striving to rebuild 2007’s *Oblivion* for the updated engine in *Special Edition*, has been relieved to learn Bethesda supports both official and unofficial remakes. The team expressed gratitude on social media, acknowledging Bethesda’s "generous gift" of game keys for their modding efforts while clarifying there’s no intention to halt their project. Earlier this month, Skyblivion expressed anticipation for an official release without seeking comparisons, noting their PC-only mod won’t compete with Bethesda’s official console version.
