Mod production team TESRenewal modding group announced on January 15 that it will release a large mod “The Elder Scrolls Skyblivion (hereafter, Skyblivion)” for the PC version of “The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (hereafter, Skyrim)” in 2025. . A trailer has also been released.
“Skyblivion” is a mod that allows you to play the world of “The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion” on “Skyrim”. Development has been underway since 2012 as a large-scale mod project by volunteers. “Oblivion” and “Skyrim” are the 4th and 5th installments of the popular RPG series “The Elder Scrolls” series produced by Bethesda Softworks. “Skyblivion” aims to provide a new generation of players and long-time fans of the series with the opportunity to play “Oblivion” again.
“Skyblivion” aims to reproduce “Oblivion” as a whole. From items such as weapons and armor to quests, maps, and NPCs, various elements can be played on the Skyrim engine. So to speak, it is being developed as a fan-made remastered version. It also includes custom content by the mod production team. In the trailer, you can see a clearer view of Cyrodiil than in the original version.
As mentioned above, this mod has been under development for about 11 years since 2012. Bethesda Softworks mods, such as The Elder Scrolls series and Fallout series, often have large scale mods. However, among them, it is quite rare to have a “super large mod under development over 10 years” like this mod. Also, it is unusual for a mod to be announced with a long-term release plan of two years later. In addition to the enthusiasm of the creators, you can see the charm of the “The Elder Scrolls” series that captures the hearts of players and does not let go.
Mod for “Skyrim”Skyblivion” will be released in 2025. The mod is planned to be distributed for free, but you need to own the main game and DLC of “Skyrim” and “Oblivion” for PC to play.
