Our first look at the long-awaited remake of The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion comes from a leak of screenshots and details…
Eurogamer understands Bethesda’s current plan is to shadow drop the game next week on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, including via Xbox Game Pass.
Feels on brand for Bethesda to secret release this just before skyblivion mod finally gets near their release date. Kind of feels like a slap in the face to the community. I guess we will get a who did it better comparison.
Unlikely to happen, because the leadership behind the project claimed they are in contact with Bethesda, to make sure no one’s stepping on anyone’s toes. Although obviously they can just pull the rug at any time, which would be catastrophic. Given that they’ve remade basically every single asset in the game, and require the original game to be owned and installed, it should be fine
I am actually not even sure how much input Bethesda had in this. It was remastered by an outside studio contracted by Microsoft. The same studio handling the remaster of Metal Gear Solid 3, apparently.

Sounds like what they did to fallout London.
Unless they DMCA the Skyblivion mod.

Games in plural, as well as all DLCs $$
Also, it’s likely to drive sales for Bethesda, considering
Usually they do that shortly before announcing their own, like Nintendo with AM2R. Maybe they won’t do it at all.
