It was leaked earlier in the week via some screenshots, but yes it was essentially a shadow launch. Which is honestly better than the “TES6 was teased over a decade ago and we haven’t heard anything about it since” limbo.

It’s good so far! I haven’t had time to properly dig into it yet (stupid life and chores and job keep dragging me away) but it feels like they tried to keep the spirit of Oblivion alive, while adding some more modern Skyrim-like combat mechanics.
