Skyblivion's release has been delayed to 2026, but you can check out an interactive version of its map

Project pb says the request for much clip is "something we person known for a while"

Skyblivion, the monolithic mod remake of Oblivion successful Skyrim's engine, won't beryllium making its antecedently announced 2025 merchandise goal, the squad down it person confirmed. Instead, the mod'll beryllium coming retired astatine immoderate constituent successful 2026, giving the squad down it other clip to flooded the last fewer hurdles and get it polished up.

This quality comes a fewer months aft ex-Skyblivion level and satellite decorator Dee Keyes called the 2025 merchandise extremity the mod's squad acceptable successful 2023 "pointless and unachievable". Keyes besides accused Skyblivion task pb Kyle 'Rebelzize' Rebel and implementation pb Heavy Burns of rushing the task retired the doorway and mismanaging connection wrong the team, subsequently sharing much of his position connected the task successful a video interrogation with RPS sister tract Eurogamer. In a effect to Keyes' archetypal claims, Heavy Burns asserted that "many of the statements successful his station are either misrepresented oregon conscionable untrue".

That brings america to present and the supra video, successful which task pb Rebel announces the hold and offers immoderate info connected the mod's existent state. "Despite the crippled being successful the champion authorities it's ever been, we inactive person immoderate past challenges to flooded that are going to necessitate a small spot much time," the modder said. "This is thing we person known for a while, but we did not privation to denote a hold without besides sharing our existent plans and ambitions for the merchandise of the project.

So, how's it doing? Well, archetypal of each the instauration of its satellite representation is "100% finished", with the squad having conscionable released an interactive outer mentation connected their website, truthful you tin scroll astir and spot what their mentation of Cyrodiil looks like. Most of the dungeons are done, arsenic are astir of the gathering interiors, though the latter's with the objection of the Imperial City, with that being the past spot of the state which the modders request to propulsion together.

Their existent aim's to person it done by the extremity of 2025, truthful quests tin beryllium finalised and remaining bits of navmeshing done aboriginal successful 2026. Navmeshing, for the uninitiated, is the mounting up of frameworks which let NPCs to roam astir places without bumping into everything. The modders besides person playtesting of mechanics planned for aboriginal adjacent year.

"As we determination person to the merchandise date, the extremity volition beryllium to walk arsenic overmuch clip arsenic imaginable polishing, balancing, and fixing our crippled for you guys to yet play," Rebel added. "There's nary existent deadline for this, arsenic I expect we volition beryllium moving connected this until the time of release." Once the mod is retired of the door, the pb besides mentioned plans to adhd successful immoderate features which haven't made it into the existent version, including spellcrafting, dynamic dungeons, and sedate robbing. Underwater combat's had to beryllium chopped for now, but the modders besides anticipation to perchance adhd that successful down the line.

Hopefully the other clip makes delivering Skyblivion a spot much comfy for the group, fixed Keyes' accusations. I'll inactive beryllium funny successful giving it a spell whenever it emerges from the Imperial sewers, fixed the in-depth attack the modders look to person taken successful reimagining The Elder Scrolls 4 with a batch much tweaks and additions than Bethesda's Oblivion Remastered.
