Call me optimistic but I have more trust in Skyblivion team than whatever the fuck Beyond Skyrim guys are up to, CV padding and all.

Call me optimistic but I have more trust in Skyblivion team than whatever the fuck Beyond Skyrim guys are up to, CV padding and all.

Skyblivion has a confirmed release for 2025, and the devs that Ive spoken too seem quite sure theyll meet their goal and release sometime around december this year. Theyre doing everything from scratch, so all locations including cities and dungeons are gonna be much larger and look completely unique, imo the art direction looks better than the remaster too. Its mostly done by now, I believe a few more dungeons need to be implemented, voice acting has to be added and some polishing is needed but its even playable at its current state.

Skywind on the other hand is much further behind, tho id assume that once Skyblivion is done with the DLCs some modders may join Skywind to help out.

Youre correct to assume that about BS, like I said earlier, most of the Beyond Skyrim teams are horribly mismanaged (Elsweyrs pre release is only like 15% done after 13 years) and most projects keep redoing existing work. One thing to consider is that theyre basically separate teams which share lore, the heightmap, scripts for travelling between provinces and the BSassets file. Also most projects have an overwhelming amount of writers and artists as opposed to the people actually developing the mod. Its safe to assume that within a few more years we will get another pre release, Roscrea and Cyrodill but thats it as they are the only functional teams.

Moonpath to Elsweyr died for this.

Its funny you mention Elsweyr as after like 13 years theyre only approximately 15% done with their pre release and its mostly just writing/music that thats been worked on. It may as well be dead but they dont wanna admit it.

Ive been planning to give an update since modcon came out but therse been some other developments, I was quite misinformed before that. I mentioned how Atmora was getting reworked but its straight up cancelled (note how Atmora wasnt even present in modcon or any recent showcases) the devs claim that its on hold until Roscrea is done but therse alot of burnout within the team. Roscrea has finished most of their 3D assets so its a good sign.

I was correct about Elsweyr, and they still havent made any recent progress. Some of their team members wanted to get some of the khajit subraces in and they made concept art but they havent had a 3D artist or Animator to work on it. With Roscrea and New North the devs like to claim a release would happen at least 2 years for now, but its been like this for ages. The New North could easily release this year if they were working on it consistently, but work has slowed down alot. The devs themselves admit that theyre not sure whether New North or Roscrea will release first, which says alot. Even at this rate they should come out before 2030 but they dont have any release goals anymore. And Cyrodiils still doing okay, every year or two they finish a city.

They're lucky Starfield died and TES VI will be much of the same so people will still be playing modded Skyrim in 2030. I thought Roscrea was almost done a year or two back but they fucked up something with the height map?

Even if they release something post 2030 id ecpect it to have a decent enough playerbase, its not dying anytime soon. However I do feel the mod scene has slowed down since last year.

Roscrea wasnt almost done, they were definately lying about their progress. Concepting and 3D assets were finished recently while other departaments are still working. They have far exeeded all previous work by now, they posted progress stats sometime back and it didnt look near completion. The height map thing was a complete redo of the worldspace, and this happened twice iirc.

Also Skyblivions was delayed, this one surprised me since last year I had a good impression of the team. Turns out therse been alot of drama behind the scenes, and a former dev made a scene quitting.
