Skyblivion is a volunteer-based project by the TESRenewal modding group. We aim to bring The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion to a new generation of gamers and re-introduce it to long time fans of the series. We are currently in the process of remaking Cyrodiil along with all of its quests, locations and characters into Skyrim and Skyrim: Special Edition.

The Skyblivion project's first content release

“The Skyblivion Project’s First Content Release”.
Releasing content for Skyblivion is not as easy at it may sound. Assets and mechanics created by the team are usually merged straight into our master build and from the start of the project we didn’t have releasing small pieces of content in mind.

Having that said it shouldn’t come as a surprise that by this point in Skyblivion’s development we have recreated a lot of assets originally found in Cyrodiil.  Some more noteworthy than others but all necessary to be able to release Skyblivion. For those who are aren’t in the loop. we are legally required to recreate every 3D asset found in Oblivion or replace it with a Skyrim counterpart. And here’s a fun fact: there are 8032 assets listed on our spreadsheets. Some of which you may have seen during our streams, development updates or on our gallery. 9 Divines give us strength.

During the Christmas holiday the team and myself got to thinking, what if we started to release some of these assets going forward? Surely out of these 8032 assets there will be something that can be released to the public without costing us too much time and resources. We had a few brainstorming sessions and eventually decided that starting in 2020 we will try and release weapon and armor mods periodically if and when we can.

That brings us back to “The Skyblivion Project’s First Content Release”. For our first content release I would like to present you with our Cyrodiilic Steel armor. This set is made by Spyros Frigas and was implemented and released with the help of Borx25, greavesy, Stayd and KettleWitch. We hope that with this armor set you will finally be able to slay some of those Stormcloak dogs in style.

The Steel Armor release didn’t just include the armor but also a short story to help introduce it in an immersive way. If you havent see the release trailer yet I suggest you have a look to better understand who wore this armor and how it came to Skyrim.

Without further a do here are the links to download our armor. I hope you take good care of the set during your playthroughs and if you do please share some screenshots with us.

  1. Jesus christ, what an interesting comment section.

    I’m appreciative of your work, and I am very eager to try your grand mod out, whenever it will be released!

  2. Looks incredible guys! What an awesome job you’ve done! After playing ESO for a few years now, I’m missing my Skyrim and Oblivion days, but have found it hard to get back to the old mechs. So can’t wait for this newer, clearer, faster version of my 2 favs to be released!

  3. I’m beyond excited for this project to be released, but I do want to ask if there is any kind of prediction as to when that might be? I don’t wish to sound impatient simply trying to figure out if it’s in the next year or the next five.

  4. Looks awesome, and this keeps the oblivion mechanics of leveling (the coin stuff for the attributes) and one magic spell always equipped even with a bow or a claymore drawn ??? or spellcrafting??

  5. I am grateful to you for this wonderful project, and with hope in my heart I look forward to the final version of fashion, thank you for objecting to the game of my childhood in the new wrapper
    Thank you ❤

  6. So incredibly eager for this projects release it will be so amazing from what I have seen. We will finally have the oblivion remaster the game deserves. Thank you so much for working on this!

  7. Cant wait for the final release, oblivion really was the game of my childhood. I cant wait to relive the moments. You guys are awsome!

  8. I’m blown away by this trailer. Everything looks so incredible! And the voice acting is better than both Oblivion and Skyrim. Fantastic work guys, I can’t wait to see the finished product! Thank you so much.

  9. Lydia has been wearing this since you released it! I am a light armor guy. Just recently I put it on one of the house manikin. It’s very cool!

  10. So excited for this! Can’t wait to play it. Wish there was some way that I could help in the process.

  11. I can’t wait folks! I’ve been playing Syrim SE over and over and really am excited for this release! You’re guys are amazing.

  12. Haha looks amazing. Really well done to the team, does anyone else think Ned Stark is in the armour defo got a hint of Stark. Lol

  13. Hey guys! I have been looking for an outlet to ask when an expected release date is? I cant seem to find an answer on the internet or reddit or anything. I love the idea and keep up the great work!

  14. Would we be able to install oblivion, install this, and then delete oblivion? or does it actively use assets from oblivion.

    1. its in no way related to oblivion files, its entirely re made in the skyrim engine and will function like a skyrim mod

  15. If you could release the Alyeid ruins I would be very appreciative. I plan to steal them anyway for a personal mod of min, but if I could release it that would be cool.

    1. I really do think you should make you’re own mod with you’re own content and not steal others content they worked on. So you should make what you think it would be like.

          1. Please go away. I really hate idiots like you! Fuck off, cunt.

          1. Who are you now? You can eat your own fucking cock, if you would even have one.
            Please, fuck off or we’ll see each other.

          2. “or we’ll see each other” you plan to actually do something? Or is it more flith you spew from your keyboard? Just saying, the sound of racking a 12g slug, is a lot more frightening than any words could ever be, and I’m just certain you would agree. So think twice before you “go see someone” because they might just have more than one way to deal with “pests”

    2. make your own mod, less you’re directly contacted by the developers and they say you can. plagiarism is just as much of a crime as murder is, perhaps not as serious, but crime all the way through still.

    1. I think it was said that it is an entire game, but requires you to have bought Oblivion as well as Skyrim. Think of it as Portals fan-made game “Portal Stories: Mel”. Entire Game, but by fans with the main game required.

  16. Not gonna lie, that voice acting there and the story is pretty cool, but I hope you all don’t get too side tracked trying to release stuff in separate little mods and stories to end up finishing the main project XD. Not trying to say that its not cool you are releasing some stuff to us, but I have been dying over this for ages so I would rather see it completed 😀 Either way you guys are amazing!

    1. “. . .there [has to] be something that can be released to the public without costing us too much time and resources. We had a few brainstorming sessions and eventually decided . . .”

      I think they’re fine.
