PRESS RELEASE

July 9, 2007 (Rockville, MD) – Bethesda Softworks®, a ZeniMax Media company, announced today that it will release The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion® Game of the Year Edition (GotY) for Xbox 360™ video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system from Sony, and Windows this September. Oblivion GotY will include the original version of the award-winning RPG Oblivion along with the official expansion, The Elder Scrolls® IV: Shivering Isles™, and the downloadable content, Knights of the Nine.

According to OXM, the Shivering Isles expansion is going to be the last Oblivion add on for a while. The expansion marks the end of the long term plans for the title, says Bethesda. It is a shame, for sure.

Good news for Bethesda RPG fans, the company said today it has no plans to diversify from its current RPG-only lineup. Fallout an the Oblivion expansion are both on the hoirzon, and we eagerly await them both.

There is a new Shivering Isles preview posted over at 1UP, checking out the Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion expansion pack. The preview is pretty thorough, it even includes some new screenshots.

Apparently, the PC version of Oblivion had to be re-rated M For Mature. This change from the T For Teen rating is due to a mod for the PC version which allows for the in-game characters to be naked. GamePolitics has had the chance to interview the modder behind this oblivion controversy, check it out!
