The team behind Skyblivion, a fan-made remake that brings TES 4: Oblivion into the world of TES 5: Skyrim, has released its fourth development diary. The 15-minute video offers a detailed look at what has occupied the modding crew in recent months.
In this latest update viewers are shown refreshed goblin models, redesigned NPC clothing, Daedric gear, the sprawling ancient city of Bruma and its inhabitants, along with numerous other locations and a wide array of playable races. The diary highlights ongoing work on environments, character art, and gameplay systems that help bridge Oblivion’s classic feel with Skyrim’s engine and mechanics. The team also discusses progress on quests, lore integration, and the technical challenges involved in porting textures, animations, and AI behavior to a different game framework. The footage and commentary emphasize a commitment to authenticity while leveraging modern performance and rendering techniques. The project is presented as a long-term endeavor with careful pacing and measured milestones. n
Although the project has been in development for more than a decade, a final release remains distant. The scope is substantial, and the creators prioritize stability and polish before sharing the mod with a broader audience. The update underscores the community-driven nature of the project and the iterative process that guides its evolution.
In related Skyrim content, an unofficial expansion has introduced a sizable new region and roughly 2 gigabytes of additional material. This has provided players with renewed exploration opportunities and expanded gameplay, including updated environments and character interactions that complement the base game experience. The ongoing fan-driven energy around this ecosystem continues to fuel interest from players who enjoy fan-made continuations and reimaginings of classic worlds. n
