Bethesda giving out Oblivion Remastered keys to Skyblivion modders is "exactly what I'd like to see more of," says CEO of retro remaster studio as devs reflect on game preservation

After absolutely no official buildup, Oblivion Remastered was released last week, but Bethesda made it very clear that it had no ill will towards a group of fans who've been working on the unofficial Skyblivion remake, in a move the CEO of retro remake specialist Nightdive Studios would "like to see more of."

Skyblivion – the fan-made project that set out to rebuild Oblivion in Skyrim's engine – has been a work-in-progress for 13 years. Although it could be considered a rival for the official game, it was revealed last week that Bethesda had provided the entire mod team with keys for Oblivion Remastered, and "made it clear that they have no intention of shutting down our project."
