The lead modder behind the unofficial Oblivion remake continues to celebrate what leaks suggest is an imminent announcement of an official 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Oblivion remaster from Bethesda.

At this point, I genuinely admire the Skyblivion dev team's unwavering commitment to the unofficial Oblivion remake. It's been in development for 13 flippin' years as a PC-only Skyrim mod, and since 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:leaked images surfaced this week and Xbox Support agents all but confirmed the official rem𒀰aster is real, projec🌳t lead Rebelzize has been nothing but transparent and steadfast in his commi🥀tment to his team's creative vision.

Earlier this week, he said the prospect of an official Oblivion remaster "changes nothing for♋ me" and he has "all love and no hate" for the folks at Bethesda seemingly bringing the beloved 2006 RPG to a new audience. Now the whole Skyblivion dev team has released♐ anജ official statement expanding on that sentiment and explaining the value of both projects.

"As dedic🙈ated Elder Scrolls fans, we are incredibly excited by this prospect and𝓰 sincerely hope the information proves accurate," the statement reads. "The glimpses we've seen look fantastic, and we eagerly anticipate the possibility of experiencing a modern, professionally developed return to Cyrodiil. Bethesda has always been supportive of community projects like ours, and we don't see that changing anytime soon."

The dev team goes on to point out that Skyblivion is essentially a glorified Skyrim mod, and thus will only be available on P🃏C. Therefore, "the remaster presents a wonderful opportunity 🎀for console players to re-experience Oblivion."

The Skyblivion dev team says "there is no need for comparison or a sense of competition between Skyblivion and a potential official remaster. Both projects can exist and thriv🌞e together, offering unique experiences for players." While the unofficial remake is a "labor of love" that offers "a distinct way to revisit Oblivion within the familiar fram🦄ework of the Creation Engine," the official remaster would offer "its own set of advancements."

Again, I have to give it to the Skyblivion developers for taking this all in stride. I know I'd personally feel just a little deflated, but the modders rightfully point out that "players will be the true winners" because they get to "experience both a community-driven reimagining and a professional, modern ver✅sion of this beloved game."

Skyblivion is due out in 2025.

While we wait for both games, here are the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best RPGs you can play right now.

After earning an English degree from ASU, I worked as a corporate copy editor while freelancing for ꦛplaces like SFX Magazine, Screen Rant, Game Revolution, and MMORPG on the side. I got my big break here in 2019 with a freelance news gig, and I was hired on as GamesRadar's west coast Staff Writer in 2021. That means I'm responsible for managing the site's western regional executive branch, AKA my home 🀅office, and writing about whatever horror game I'm too afraid to finish.
