Skyblivion, the massive modding project that’s remaking The Elder Scrolls IV in Skyrim’s engine, is now in its currently scheduled release year - 2025.
]]>There always are a lot of cool-looking modding projects in the works for any Bethesda game at any point in time, so there's a chance that if you don't eat, sleep and breathe mods for work like I do, there's a chance Beyond Skyrim: Cyrodiil is one that's flown under your radar.
]]>A Starfield modder who's already re-created the iconic prison cell from the start of Oblivion says it's part of a group project dubbed "Starblivion", that they hope will end with an "Elder star system" featuring a re-creation of Cyrodiil.
]]>The team behind Skyblivion, the massive modding project that’s remaking The Elder Scrolls IV - yep, the one where everyone’s faces look a bit hilarious - in Skyrim’s engine, has just shared some fresh quest gameplay. There’s a bit of Mages Guild, a bit of a scuffle on a farm, and all of it looks pretty great, aside from the odd bug.
]]>Just days after a lengthy Reddit post outlining plans for it garnered a fair amount of attention, a very ambitious Starfield modding project that aimed to create an entire Elder Scrolls-themed planet featuring recreations of the worldspaces from Skyrim, Oblivion, and Morrowind "has been cancelled". Though, the poster behind it denies that it was, as many commenters had assumed, never properly in the works to begin with.
]]>The Fallout community is good at coming together to create cool things, with the least of these being a huge Fallout 4 mod built in just one weekend to help raise money for a charity drive by legendary Fallout, Elder Scrolls, and Starfield voice actor Wes Johnson - who also stars in it.
]]>Amazon's Fallout TV Show is here now, but before it was, the show had a swanky Hollywood premiere that I'm sure my invite for got lost in the post. At that premiere, snazzily dressed Todd Howard said some things, and some of these things were about the potential idea of an Elder Scrolls adaptation. When it comes to such a thing, it sounds like Howard's plan is - simply put - to keep on being picky.
]]>Remember the Oblivion quest where you crash a dinner party and unleash a cheeky underpants-based spell on some rich folks? Well, Skyblivion's developers have just given us a look at the massive mod's version of it during a showcase at C3.
]]>If you’re a fan of Bethesda games, a new community modding event that’s set to take place on Twitch towards the end of next week looks well worth checking out, especially now that the artist behind some of Skyrim and Fallout 4’s most iconic creatures is set to make an appearance at it.
]]>The Elder Scrolls Online’s next expansion, dubbed Gold Road, is set to arrive this summer following a big reveal as part of last night’s big Xbox Developer Direct. The game is also getting a 15 month-long tenth birthday celebration, which seems a tad excessive (we're just jealous really).
]]>There’s now a Fallout 4 mod that allows you to order a pizza from the Institute and have it delivered to you in very rapid fashion by a teleporting synth delivery boy.
]]>Given that it’s infamous for featuring some terrifyingly bizarre NPC encounters, Oblivion makes a pretty good game to play during spooky season, something the latest Skyblivion showcase proves.
]]>I don't have a driving licence. I can't drive a car. People assume I can because I like games with cars in them. I don't bother to correct people anymore, as I'm almost 41 years old and I simply can't be bothered. If you've ever imagined me driving a car because you assumed I could drive a car and this revelation has shaken you to your core, changing your worldview and altering your very existence on this earth, I'm sorry. To be clear, I have been in cars, just not driven them. I mostly walk places.
]]>Whether it’s Patrick Stewart in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Sean Bean in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, or Terrence Stamp in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, there are numerous examples of big name hollywood actors showing up in video games, and it’s always an exciting little surprise to hear a familiar voice that isn’t Troy Baker. But sometimes, there are cameos or guest starring roles that aren’t even particularly well advertised. Did you know, for example, that Lynda Carter of Wonder Woman fame played every female Nord and Orc NPC in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion?
]]>Yesterday was not a great day for Microsoft’s Xbox division. Due to some goof up by entities unknown, documents submitted for the purposes of discovery in the Federal Trade Commission's case against Microsoft purchasing Activision Blizzard (a case they actually dropped earlier this year) ended up splashed all over the internet, as reported by many gaming focused Twitter accounts and media outlets (including ourselves, naturally).
]]>It might be your time to rejoice, Oblivion and Fallout 3 fans, as a big Microsoft leak appears to have confirmed remasters for the pair of games are on the way.
]]>One particular character in Starfield sees the return of a voice actor who's worked with Bethesda across its games for a long time.
]]>According to a now deleted Reddit post, a remake of the beloved Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion is in the works over at Virtuous Games. The studio - itself at the centre of a previously leaked Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater remake which proved on the money - may very well be getting its hands on another fan favourite.
]]>Welcome to The Best Games Ever Show episode 55: The best game with horse armour (but you can't have Oblivion)
]]>In 2006, The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion developer Bethesda did what many at the time thought was unthinkable. The company put an in-game item on sale for real-world money, in a full-price game. It was a cosmetic horse armour set for $2.50.
]]>It’s completely absurd that the best part of twenty years have chundered along since The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion came out. I barely feel old enough to have fully formed memories of doing things that long ago. But yes, fine, calendars don’t lie, and it really has been seventeen years, three console generations, and an entire global pandemic between the time that Oblivion first graced our monitor screens… and now.
]]>It’s a pretty good week to be a Bethesda fan, because now we have two very important dates to mark in the calendar: firstly, on June 11th, we’re getting the much promised Starfield focused direct (which was recently reported to be imminent, but I guess we’re going to have to wait until the magical E3 period for any more reveals, like usual).
]]>The video version of this article will play up here if you can sit through the short advert first. Please watch it. I'm wearing a nice hat and everything.
]]>Welcome to VG247's Best Games Ever Podcast: Episode 37 - The best game with followers you would never hang out with IRL.
]]>Right now we’re all sitting on our hands, waiting for The Elder Scrolls 6. Wondering what delights it might hold for us. Whether the NPCs will be able to simultaneously move, talk, and come off like something close to humans. Dreaming of a world full of undiscovered quests, un-plundered chests, pristine sweetrolls.
]]>By Azura, is The Elder Scrolls 6 far away! With Starfield set to arrive near the end of the year, the sixth main entry in Bethesda’s iconic saga might as well not exist right now. Of course, we’re not short on massive open worlds – especially now that SSDs are taking over and rewriting what can be done when it comes to level design – but you just can’t fill that Skyrim-shaped hole, can you?
]]>We chat to the series' co-creator as we look back on one of that generation's defining games and those that came before it.
]]>Starting tomorrow, 20 games from Bethesda will be available through Xbox Game Pass.

]]>If you're even remotely familiar with The Elder Scrolls, you'll likely remember the Adoring Fan from Oblivion, who is a very enthusiastic follower of the Imperial City's Grand Champion.
]]>Oblivion launched way back in 2006, but it's still a formidably popular comfort title for a significant amount of Elder Scrollsers - mostly because of how hilariously broken it is.
]]>Despite its astronomical success, Bethesda Game Studios’ illustrious RPG Oblivion has never received the remaster treatment - at least not officially.
]]>Cyberpunk 2077 doesn’t need to paint everything in neon - the glow-up of the RPG is clear to see. Over the last decade the entire genre has undergone a steady but significant transformation that’s worth taking a moment to celebrate.

]]>The graphics of the entire Elder Scrolls series compared.
]]>Skyblivion is the lesser-known cousin of Skywind, bringing a graphical upgrade to The Elder Scrolls' fourth major outing.
]]>Picture in your mind what The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion would look like if it were developed using the Skyrim engine. Lovely, right? And indeed it is, thanks to TESRenewal, the folks behind the Skywind and Morroblivion mods. Below, is a video showing the conversion's progress thanks to volunteers.

]]>Official soundtracks for Bethesda titles are now available on iTunes, which makes my inner Morrowind-nerd squee with excitement.
]]>Mastertronic will distribute a selection of Bethesda PC games to UK retail, the firm has announced.

]]>Bethesda has announced it will release a combo pack containing The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion and Fallout 3 on April 3. It will be made available in North America for both PC and Xbox 360 and will run you $19.99 and $29.99, respectively.

]]>Most RPGs have a built-in reward for your painstaking efforts to grow stronger than the fierce, two-foot-tall sewer rats of the world: you get to beat the stuffing out of the baddies who hung you from flagpoles and gave you swirlies back in the day.

Hit the jump for the press release.
[UPDATE] A representative from Bethesda just confirmed to VG247 that this is not the Game of the Year version of Oblivion that contains Knights of the Nine or Shivering Isles.
]]>Animals need clothes. This is an undeniable fact. And yet, Oblivion is the one of the few games in existence that allows players to keep their furry friends’ filthy unmentionables out of the public eye. It’s a shame too, because just look at what humanity’s bizarre innate desire has done for Bethesda.
“You guys LOVE Oblivion,” exclaimed Bethesda scribe “aching.” “To this day, 2 years later. Looking at our Xbox Live reports, every day, tens of thousands of people STILL play Oblivion and they purchase thousands and thousands of downloadable content — again, every day.”
“Yes, even Horse Armor continues to sell daily.”
Wicked.
Check out the list of rankings after the break.

Full thing after the link.
