Skyblivion modders reveal a former volunteer is "threatening to sue for damages upwards of €30,000" over work on the unofficial Oblivion remake project
The team behind Oblivion remake mod Skyblivion are being threatened with legal action by a former volunteer on the project, according a video posted by current lead Kyle 'Rebelzize' Rebel. The situation looks like it'll need resolving before the mod, which was originally set to release last year , can finally make its way out of the Imperial City sewers. Read more
A former contributor to the Skyblivion Oblivion remake mod is threatening legal action, demanding damages of up to €30,000, according to a video released by current lead Kyle Rebelzize Rebel. The issue arose after the former volunteer left the project, leading to discussions about the continued use and maintenance of his work. The main point of contention was the decompilation of his contributions, a necessary step to maintain functionality and fix issues.
Skyblivion decided to remove his work entirely, but the ex-volunteer claims they made him aware of this, yet they are still facing legal threats. The modders have consulted with legal counsel and are looking for pro bono assistance in the matter, as the costs could reach €2,500. They have expressed their willingness to resolve the situation without going to court and plan to release the mod as soon as possible.
This is the second time Skyblivion has faced drama during its release year, following a dispute in 2025 with former volunteer Dee Keyes over the mod's release timing.
