Oblivion Remastered has over 100 mods already despite lack of ‘official’ mod support

Bethesda's solid relationship with mod creators continues to put the rest of the industry to shame. Upon last night's launch of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, Bethesda reached out to the team of fans behind the Skyblivion project, offering them all codes for the new remaster. Hundreds of mods for the new remaster version of Oblivion have also begun hitting the web. 

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered is an official remake of the original 2006 game. Development was led by Virtuos, with assistance from Bethesda. The remaster works by running the Creation Engine, with Unreal Engine 5 on top, allowing for the game to run and work as originally intended, with UE5 handling all of the game's visual aspects. The end result is a stunning recreation of Oblivion, while maintaining the ‘magic' Bethesda was known for during this era.

The Skyblivion team confirmed on social media that Bethesda had reached out about the remaster and supplied the team with game keys. It is also worth noting that while there is an official remaster now, it does not have ‘official' mod support and due to the added complexity of the UE5 layer of the game, it is unlikely that the Oblivion remaster will reach Skyrim-status in terms of mod support.

With all of that in mind, there is still very much a place for the Skyblivion project and the team behind it continues to go on as planned. Additionally, while The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered does lack official mod support, mod makers are indeed supporting the game, with over 100 mods now available just 24 hours after launch. Most of these mods make minor changes, such as removing weight limits, adjusting in-game balance, cheat tools and a selection of modded save files.
