Oblivion remade in the Skyrim engine, Skyblivion is on the final stretch to release

Skyblivion is a remake of Oblivion in the Skyrim engine, something that has been exciting RPG fans for a while it's finally coming soon.

More about it from the developers of the mod: "Skyblivion is the ultimate fan-made experience for the Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, bringing the game into the newer engine of the Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition. This process combines Oblivion’s impressive award-winning open-world that is renowned for its incredible gameplay, memorable quests, and expansive world space with the advancements in gaming that have been made in the last two decades. Set in the Elder Scroll’s Third Era, during the cataclysmic Oblivion Crisis, you must help to restore the Imperial throne and repel the demonic Daedric invasion."

The developers put up a sixth development diary video going over the progress on August 3rd, the first update since the release of the official Oblivion Remastered. Clearly, this hasn't deterred them for pushing forward on Skyblivion. Answering the question on "what's the point of it now?", in the video they mention how Skyblivion is actually a "full-scale remake that re-imagines Oblivion from the ground up, bringing it in line with modern RPG standards".
