Bethesda and the future of the Elder Scrolls<\/em> franchise are at the focus of the gaming industry’s\u00a0attention\u00a0this week. Microsoft’s recent acquisition of Bethesda quite possibly means The Elder Scrolls 6<\/em> will not be coming to PlayStation platforms, which has understandably triggered quite a reaction. But all of the attention on The Elder Scrolls<\/em><\/a> also makes it quite the opportunity. The modding community behind the Skyblivion<\/em><\/strong> project are taking advantage, dropping the first developer diary for the fan remake of The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Skyblivion<\/em>, like other modding projects, is being worked on by a team\u00a0entirely made up of volunteers. They have a rather straightforward goal compared to most modding teams. That being to take all of The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion<\/em> and rebuild it in its entirety in the engine of The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim<\/em><\/a>. That includes all of Oblivion<\/em>‘s quests, locations, and characters. As such, Skyblivion<\/em> will also require players own both Oblivion<\/em> and Skyrim<\/em> and their respective DLCs, but will otherwise be made available for free.<\/p>\n

But Skyblivion<\/em> isn’t being made just to be a monument to itself. Having all of Oblivion<\/em><\/a> in the Skyrim<\/em> engine would allow for a massive amount of improvements to be made to the open-world RPG that its own engine couldn’t. As such, the Skyblivion<\/em> team is developing several modules. These include Landscape Overhaul, Interior Overhaul, City Overhaul, Weapon\/Armor Overhaul, and so on. Each module would, as their name implies, upgrade the quality of their module. Users would be able to turn these modules off as they please.<\/p>\n
