Ambitious Elder Scrolls: Oblivion remake ‘Skyblivion’ to launch in 2025

Elder Scrolls fans have been waiting for over a decade to see the Skyblivion mod completed. The mod, which rebuilds The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion in Skyrim with enhanced graphics, is reportedly set to get a full release later this year. 

The TESRenewal modding group, a team of volunteers that have been working on bringing a playable version of Oblivion to Skyrim since 2016, has posted a new video detailing their roadmap for the next year. The main takeaway? The team is ready to double down and push the mod to release this year.

Skyblivion arriving this year could be quite interesting timing, as recent rumours have also claimed that Microsoft is due to announce a remake of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, using Unreal Engine 5, rather than Bethesda's Creation Engine, which has powered all of the previous Elder Scrolls titles since Morrowind.

There is no official release date yet, but if you are a fan of Oblivion, you should keep an eye out for updates as we're bound to get more information over the next few months.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
