Skyblivion is scheduled to come out for a bit in 2025 and now we know one of the places where at least one has arrived – Gog.com.
A massive modification project to remake Elder Scrolls 4 with Skyrim’s engine has been in work for over a decade. Having not struggled with Bethesda and Virtuos’ own Oblivion Remaster, the team is now grafting vigorously to ensure they’re ready when it’s time to pull the release trigger.

Assuming that the mod was confirmed by Gog to arrive at the PC storefront in 2025, it was the current release goal, we contacted Skyblivion Project Lead Kyle to lead “Rebelzize” Rebel with “Rebelzize”. We chatted about what we got caught up in the decision about handling this Oblivion remaking Skyrim mod and where the release path was going to be.
“Gog has a big reputation. They aren’t as big as steam, but they spend more time and effort than any other platform,” Rebel said when asked how this arrangement between the two came about. “We want to get as many Skyblivion as possible. GOG will be a great partner to help make that possible. We still try to distribute ourselves, but I don’t think we can beat a stable GOG server.”
Along with that last part, when Gog asked if he expected it to be the only place where people could grab Skyblivion, the storefront team declined to comment on exclusivity. They confirmed that “the mod has been released on GOG and received the same treatment as Fallout London, and is available to both GOG users and steam users from the GOG store level.”
“To be honest, it was very organic,” a spokesman for GOG said, “Our partnership with Team Foron, creator of the Amazing Radical Fallout: London Experience, allows us as a platform to play a unique role in the gaming industry and offer a very unique solution.
“We’re still working on the steps you need to play, but if you own a base game with GOG, just add a one-click version of the mod to your account and press install.
Rebel said that getting in touch with Gog was “undetectedly inspired” by Fallout: London’s arrival last summer. “Before that, I had never thought of a creative solution like this,” Modder said, “There are a variety of challenges with the release of Skyblivion, but we’re working with Gog to ensure a stable rollout when the time comes.”
That will be the key. Fallout: London is very good and will be even better if DLC Team Foron is currently working on it, but if you play it on the release you will find the odds are fighting serious bug Rittany. The creators worked as hard as they could to unlock patches and fixes for these unexpected issues as quickly as possible, but I think it could be good for a lot of players who gave up because they haven’t returned.
I was asked if there were any lessons I learned from Fallout. In a London release that helps the team handle Skyblivion, Gog said “There are a few. “One of our main takeaways was finding a way to enjoy mods for those who own copies of Fallout 4 Goty, regardless of platform,” they added.
As for the expectations for Skyblivion, Gog did not offer any specific metrics or milestones shortly after the official remaster of Bethesda and Virtuos. “Thanks to our work and collaboration, we hope that projects like this will become more accessible to gamers around the world. “When it comes to the release of Oblivion, its success only highlights the gaming community’s eagerness to experience the classic games with a fresh touch, and we believe that Skyblivion will be very pleased.”
Naturally, it was also Modder’s hope, with the Rebels revealing that the grafts have not stopped since the team completed the construction of the Cyrodiil landscape in February. “There are always some stretch goals to try and narrow down as much as possible if possible,” he told me.
But that doesn’t mean that Skyblivion developers aren’t experiencing the milestones that would unveil this arrangement when they achieve GOG. “It’s certainly another load in my mind,” the project lead told me, “Releasing a ‘mod’ of this size is a big challenge and there are a few release options at the moment, but I think Gog will be the best option from a user experience standpoint.
“That being said, I won’t be relieved until Skyblivion is available for download for everyone.”
