Rebelzize tells me that they first played Oblivion in 2006. An offshoot of the TESRenewal modding group - who also have a team of volunteers working on Morrowind remake Skywind - Skyblivion is a fan-based Oblivion remaster being spearheaded by a creative director named Rebelzize. “It was either like, go make an entire new game or do Skyrim.'įunnily enough, that’s not radically different from what the Skyblivion team are up to. Luckily, there is an Oblivion remaster in the works - it’s just not being done in-house.īack in 2016, Bethesda showman Pete Hines told Gamespot that because of Oblivion’s age, the amount of work necessary for a remaster drastically outweighs what a Skyrim overhaul would require. Unlike Oblivion, Morrowind, Daggerfall, and Arena before it, the Nord simulator has been remastered, reworked into VR, and re-released for almost every iteration of every console. Oblivion is one of several ugly ducklings the iconic studio has shunned in favour of trophy child Skyrim. Despite its astronomical success, Bethesda Game Studios’ illustrious RPG Oblivion has never received the remaster treatment - at least not officially.
