Feels on brand for Bethesda to secret release this just before skyblivion mod finally gets near their release date. Kind of feels like a slap in the face to the community. I guess we will get a who did it better comparison.

Unless they DMCA the Skyblivion mod.

Unlikely to happen, because the leadership behind the project claimed they are in contact with Bethesda, to make sure no one’s stepping on anyone’s toes. Although obviously they can just pull the rug at any time, which would be catastrophic. Given that they’ve remade basically every single asset in the game, and require the original game to be owned and installed, it should be fine

Also, it's likely to drive sales for Bethesda, considering

the requirement of owning Skyrim Special Edition and Oblivion GOTY Deluxe.

Games in plural, as well as all DLCs $$

Usually they do that shortly before announcing their own, like Nintendo with AM2R. Maybe they won't do it at all.
