Summary
News has recently emerged that the makers of Skyblivion, the modders reimagining 2006 role-playing game The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion in the Skyrim engine, have been given access to the official remaster and been interviewed about their passion project by the company behind the original game, Bethesda.
While some are viewing this as a rare example of a developer not suing potential competitors over copyright issues, others are suggesting it could be a savvy marketing move to promote the official product.
Either way, it means that fans of both The Elder Scrolls games now have two enhanced versions of the game to look forward to.
It also gives the Skyblivion creators the chance to compare their work to the official product, and see what they produced rivals the official version in terms of graphics and gameplay.
