The long-rumored shadow drop of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The🌞 Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion ▨Remastered has finally come, and with it we've also gotten affirmation that the RPG's long-awaited unofficial remake, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Skyblivion, won't be getting any pushback from Bethesda going forward. In fact, th🎉e studio is so supportive of the fan project, rebuilt in Skyrim's engine, that it sent the whole mod team keys to the remaster.

"Huge than🦂ks to our friends [at Bethesda Studios] for their continued support of Skyblivion!" a . "As massive fans, we're beyond grateful for the generous gift of Oblivion Remastered game keys for our entire modding team! This means so much to us. Thank you for everything, [Bethes⛎da]."

: "Also, to clear up any confusion Bethesda made it clear that they have no intention of shutting down our project."

There had been some trepidation in the Elder Scrolls modding community as to whether the release of an official remaster would spur Bethesda or 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Microsoft lawyers to go after or restrict a fan-made version like Skybli🐲vion.

It wouldn't be the first time a big developer stamped out a fan project to protect its own version. But in the past few weeks, even before today𝐆's peace treaty and Steam keys, there had really been no bad blood on display.

Just days ago, the Skyblivion team 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:argued that "both project🦋s can exist" and "players are the true winners" when multiple options are available. Earlier this month, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:the ⭕project's lead modder reiterated that he has "all love and 🌞no hate towards the people who made the official remaster."

It's﷽ worth noting that those people also include Vir𝔉tuos Studios, previously known for the likes of Dark Souls Remastered. Bethesda's had nothing but praise for Virtuos, calling the team "unbelievable" partners , and seems equally enthusiastic about Skyblivion. What's better than one cake? Two cakes!

The prospect of an eventual, free, unofficial Oblivion remaster seemingly hasn't blunted today's explosive surprise launch. Oblivion Remastered was the glo📖bal top-selling game on Steam within an hour of its release.

Ironically, Bethesda says "mods are not supported" for The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered despite its pro-mod history.
