Background

Skyblivion is a fan-made action role‑playing game that remakes The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion using the Creation Engine of Skyrim. It is developed by volunteers under the TES Renewal Project and released as a total conversion mod for Skyrim.

Development began in 2012 as a port of Oblivion to Skyrim, but shifted to a full remake by 2014. The project has released several trailers, initially announcing a 2025 release that was later moved to 2026, and has been driven by a volunteer community.

The timeline

  1. Wikipedia notes 2026 release window

    The Wikipedia article states that Skyblivion is reportedly scheduled to release in 2026, after an earlier 2025 date set in a trailer.[2]

  2. Release window shifted to 2026

    The dev diary announces that the project’s anticipated release window has reportedly been moved from 2025 to 2026 to allow for final polish and testing.[3]

  3. Team recruits volunteers for final marketing push

    The team announced on Discord and socials that they are reportedly expanding their communications group and seeking volunteers for trailer editing, gameplay captures, and developer interviews, while still not setting a release date.[1]

Our read of the evidence

Partly documented. The timeline events are all based on reports from various outlets and lack confirmation from a primary source. Consequently, the announced release window and recruitment efforts remain unverified, leaving the actual launch date pending.

Our rating counts evidence, not opinions about anyone: events confirmed by a primary source (the person's own post, their official site, a court or government record) weigh most, then how many independent outlets report the story.
