Summary
Rumours are circulating about the release of a remastered version of Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion later this month, although Bethesda is playing coy and Virtuos Games is yet to confirm this officially.
It coincides with the release of Skyblivion, a fan made remake of Oblivion using the Skyrim engine, and the conductor of that particular symphony, Skyblivion lead KRebel, is sanguine about the official release, seeing it as a win-win for gamers and for his project.
He points out that his project exists because Bethesda allowed it, and the official release is the result of many more years’ work, so in a way Skyblivion has paved the way for official remasters and remakes.
This story also appears to show that when it comes to fan recreations and remakes, the more official publishers and developers embrace and encourage the fan projects, the better for everyone.
