Summary
The fan-made remake ofOblivioninSkyrim’s engine,Skyblivion, has finally released a new update on development, giving fans another look at how much progress is being made at the moment. FewSkyrimmods have gotten players as hyped asSkyblivion, and any update is much appreciated by the community.
TheSkyrimmodding scene is a big part of the reason the game remains extremely active in 2024. Gamers are able to craft a truly unique experience, and by using just a few mods, are able to make the 2011 RPG look like it was released in the modern day. Some players choose to use a few smaller mods, while others instead choose to completely overhaul their games with one of the amazingSkyrimtotal conversion mods. Recreating previousElder Scrollsgames inSkyrimis also a task that many talented modders take on, although few actually make it all the way to release. In this regard,Skyblivionlooks like the exception.
In the newSkybliviondevelopment diary, the team behind one of the most promisingSkyrimmodsever details the next chapter on the way to release. It begins by detailing the Great Forest, showcasing the kind of NPCs thatSkyblivionplayers can expect to meet, before moving on to Ayleid Ruins. It shows off a ton of the work done to make the Ayleid Ruins visually distinct, and frankly, it looks great. Another huge development here is the implementation of custom UI, resembling that ofOblivion. This includes the lockpicking mini-game, which has been completely remade as it was back in 2006.
Skyblivion Development Diary For May 2024
Skyblivionlaid out its roadmapto release back in June 2023, and it certainly seems on track to hit its 2025 release date. However, it isn’t clear at the moment whether this will be earlier or later in the year. The video does reiterate that theSkyblivionproject remains on the lookout for volunteers, with 3D artists desired in particular to help release as fast as possible.
With any mod likeSkyblivion, there’s always a running joke about whether it will actually be released beforeThe Elder Scrolls 6. Although it seems thatThe Elder Scrolls 6is in a playable state, the game is still likely a few years away. IfSkyblivioncan meet its 2025 release window, players will definitely be able to enjoy a good amount of time with the mod before the new title is released.
