I’m fine with that. Let them remake it worse than the modding team under Rebel. So long as they don’t stop the mod from being released, that is, because that would be a dick move after openly giving it permission to continue.
I don’t think Bethesda will do that, in fact the case for Fallout London was also during the hype for the TV show so made sense to release new stuff for F4.
The remake is also rumoured to be made using UE5(shit) probably to be a testing ground for a different engine so even with the competition they are offering something different in the end of the day.
I honestly can’t decide what would be worse for profits. The mod update is hugely well known.
…
Given the atmosphere around just about everything corporate, I feel they should take a small loss here for the brand and release alongside the mod, or after it, or whatever. Good PR move that should make people want to buy the game in good faith.
The only issue is this is Oblivion. That’s a dedicated fanbase only beaten by the rabid battalions that want another Morrowind.
Oh cool, time for Bethesda to put out a modfucking patch three days before they release?
I nominate ‘modfucking patch’ for expression of the year 2025
There’s rumors of Bethesda working on an own Oblivion remake…
In which case they will 100% force this to be taken down.

Oh they absolutely will though. No fucking way they would force themselves to compete with a free (and probably better) version of the same game.

Pathetic… Don’t give the parasite money.
Why make a new area on a new engine, when you can sell an old area on an old engine?
