Bethesda Thinks Fan Remaster of Oblivion Is 'Very Special' and Supports It


Ambitious total conversion mod Skyblivion is unlikely to get shut down anytime soon

Last week, Xbox and Bethesda shadow-dropped a fancy remaster of 2006 open-world RPG The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion and it promptly took over the world. However, it also made some people worried that a long-in-development fan mod which also aims to recreate the aging RPG would face legal issues or be overshadowed when it arrives later this year. It’s really nice to see a publisher as big as Bethesda, which is owned by Xbox, not sic the lawyers on a team of modders or fans for simply modding older games they love.
