Skyblivion "will not be shadow dropping after over a decade of hard work", say modders still planning a regular release date reveal despite delays

Skyblivion, a massive Oblivion remake mod, will not adopt the shadow drop strategy employed by Bethesda's Oblivion Remastered, according to the modders. Rather than revealing a new release date prematurely, the creators plan to announce the date once their hard work is complete. Evan Flatt, the communications lead, confirmed that they won't be shadow dropping after over a decade of dedication.

While the modders have the freedom to release when they choose, setting a date may help generate interest and engagement from fans, especially considering the delays and disputes the project has faced. The modders have completed the Imperial City, the final major settlement, and are seeking additional volunteers to assist with remaining tasks, such as quest editing.

They emphasize that they will not release the mod without ensuring it meets their standards, as they lack the advantage of being associated with the original game's developers.
