Given the substantial investment of time and resources, fans worried that the rumored official remaster could inhibit the project’s final stages.

This week, the lead developer commented on the official Oblivion remaster, reinforcing the idea that both initiatives are mutually beneficial, notwithstanding any competitive tensions among fans online.
Despite the lack of a confirmed release date for the new game, speculation suggests the title may launch unexpectedly during the week of April 21, a thrilling possibility considering it had only been rumored until recently.
