Bethesda Grants Skyblivion Team Oblivion Remastered Keys

Fans of The Elder Scrolls series are buzzing with excitement today after Bethesda made a heartwarming gesture by gifting free game keys for *The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered* to the entire team behind the popular mod, Skyblivion. This generous move has not only delighted the modding community but also reinforced the strong bond between Bethesda and its dedicated fans.

In a heartfelt post on BlueSky, the Skyblivion team expressed their gratitude for Bethesda's thoughtful gift. "As massive fans, we're beyond grateful for the generous gift of *Oblivion Remastered* game keys for our entire modding team! This means so much to us. Thank you for everything, Bethesda!" they shared. Skyblivion is a fan-made project by the TESRenewal volunteer modding group, aiming to recreate *The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion* using Bethesda's Creation Engine within the world of *Skyrim*. This ambitious project, which started as a simple port, has evolved into a comprehensive remake featuring enhanced graphics, gameplay improvements, and additional content. After over a decade in development, Skyblivion is set to launch later this year.

The relationship between Bethesda and the Skyblivion team has always been characterized by mutual respect and support. Amidst rumors of an official Oblivion remaster, some fans speculated that Bethesda might be attempting to overshadow the Skyblivion project. However, the Skyblivion team recently addressed these concerns, emphasizing that Bethesda has consistently supported community-driven projects like theirs. They stated, "There is no need for comparisons or a sense of competition between the two games."

While *Oblivion Remastered* does not officially support mods, the modding community has already begun creating unofficial enhancements for the game shortly after its release. Both *Oblivion Remastered* and Skyblivion offer unique experiences: Skyblivion will not be available on consoles, whereas *Oblivion Remastered* lacks the new content Skyblivion promises but includes the horse armor DLC for Deluxe Edition buyers. Each version presents a different aesthetic and gameplay approach, reflecting varied interpretations of integrating Skyrim elements into the Oblivion universe. *Oblivion Remastered* is available to play right now, while fans eagerly await the release of Skyblivion.
