My theory is getting more engineers familiar with the unified UE5 and Gamebryo. This has likely been in the works before ESVI was the primary focus for the bulk of the team and many of those engineers were reassigned to ESVI as this neared completion.
That’s what I’m thinking as well.
Why remaster Oblivion now? Why not wait after Elder Scrolls VI? I’m sure that’ll be released this century.
