Bethesda Softworks Announces
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Game of the Year Edition

Expanded Version of Award-Winning Role Playing Game,
for PC, Xbox 360, PLAYSTATION®3 system Available In September

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.

This new product will allow players who have never played the 2006 Game of the Year to experience Oblivion for the first time with additional content. In addition, gamers can continue their existing games of Oblivion and experience the new quests and areas offered by the expansion and downloadable content.

Released in March 2006 for Windows and Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and in March 2007 for PLAYSTATION®3 system, Oblivion has already earned countless awards from publications around the world and won numerous Game of the Year and RPG of the Year awards. Gamerankings.com and MetaCritic.com list Oblivion as the highest rated game of all time on both Xbox 360 and PLAYSTATION®3 system.

Oblivion features a powerful combination of free-form gameplay, unprecedented graphics, cutting edge AI, character voices by acting legends Patrick Stewart, Sean Bean, Terrance Stamp, and Lynda Carter, and an award-winning soundtrack. Gamers can choose to unravel Oblivion's epic narrative at their own pace or explore the vast world in search of their own unique challenges.

With more than 30 hours of new gameplay, Shivering Isles allows you to explore an entirely new plane of Oblivion – the realm of Sheogorath, the Daedric Prince of Madness. Shivering Isles features a bizarre landscape split between the two sides – Mania and Dementia –filled with vast, twisting dungeons mirroring the roots of the trees they are buried within. Sheogorath himself looks to you to be his champion and defend his realm and its inhabitants from destruction as you discover all new items, ingredients, spells, and much more.

Knights of the Nine features an all-new faction and quests for noble characters and answers many of the questions surrounding the Ayleid ruins found throughout Oblivion. Players can join a new faction and found their own order of holy knights – leading them into battle against a sorcerer-king and his demonic minions while exploring massive dungeons and searching for legendary relics – the holy armor and weapons of the Divine Crusader.

Umm......I have some to say to this..... SWEET! I might be done with the game by December, and then I can pick this up and continue my adventure!

Sheesh...I'm only level 21 now...

Well, for those who haven't bought the game yet that's pretty cool I guess, but I'm not getting this one. Even though I could probly trade in my copy of Oblivion and end up only having to spend like 20 bucks to get this, it's not worth it IMO and in from September-November I'll have WAY too many games to enjoy.

hopefully that means that Shivering Isles will be available for DL when this comes out

I just wish the other DLC stuff was available for the PS3 (horse armour, Frostcrag spire, etc)

This is a great move on Behtesda's part but I have 1 question, Do you have to but the new edition in order to get Shivering isles on the PS3, or can you just download it?

does anyone know yet if you would be able to just download the shivering isles from the playstation store or be able to just buy the shivering isles without buying this goty

Are they ever going to have a Shivering Isles or Knights one for PS3 yet?

might as well sell your current Oblivion and get the GotY. it's less hassle.

RoyMarthEmblem... the current PS3 version of Oblivion comes with the Knight of the Nine quest/faction added in already.

if i did that i would want to play my characters since i have put so many hours of playing time into them i have a feeling that if i got the got the goty i would have t restart

You don't have to as you could use that games save for the GotY if you read the article.

Did any1 C Xplay recently? They didnt put oblivion in the top ten games ever reviewed. But it did get an honorable mention however...
