TES Renewal Project, the volunteer dev team behind the unofficial fan remake of Oblivion, Skyblivion, has emerged from the shadows a few weeks after announcing the project's last-minute delay with some new screenshots. They're predictably very pretty. The ground-up Oblivion remake has been in development for almost 14 years, and it really looked like it was primed to release in 2025, but in December project lead Rebelzize announced that the date had been pushed back to 2026 so that the devs had time to overcome various "challenges." We haven't heard anything from the developers since, but this week they shared a few new screenshots to the project's official Bluesky account. The images show a dimly lit Ayleid ruin called Wendelbek. Check 'em out: Don’t mind the mess! 👷 We’ve been a bit quiet since our last update, but that doesn’t mean we’ve stopped our work. More and more of the project is entering its final state, including Wendelbek, a massive Ayleid ruin to explore.

"More and more of the project is entering its final state, including Wendelbek, a massive Ayleid ruin to explore." Skyblivion delayed to 2026 as devs behind the unofficial Oblivion project made using Skyrim's engine say their "initial goal" of launching this year "is no longer possible" Elder Scrolls 6 fans yearn for news as Skyrim turns 14, instead get Todd Howard saying it's "still a long way off" despite being announced 7 years ago: "Bethesda has had us hanging by a thread" After trying Unreal Engine, new fantasy RPG led by ex-Elder Scrolls leads goes back to its Bethesda roots with a unique proprietary engine that's "already more than doubled our development speed" Not much more (read: anything) was shared beyond this very vague update, but it's good to see the remake hasn't lost its looks. As a longtime Elder Scrolls fan, I'm really impressed with how the art team has managed to perfectly capture the very distinct vibe of the original game while dramatically increasing visual fidelity using the Skyrim engine. Good stuff. There's still no exact release date for Skyblivion just yet, but here's hoping we get a more substantial update soon. In the meantime, here are the best RPGs we recommend playing in 2026.
