Bethesda ships Oblivion GOTY edition for PS3

Posted on October 16th, 2007 at 10:36 EDT

Bethesda Softworks, a ZeniMax Media company, announced today that The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Game of the Year Edition (GotY) for the PlayStation 3 has begun shipping to retail stores throughout North America.

Oblivion GotY includes the original version of the award-winning RPG, Oblivion, along with the official expansion, The Elder Scrolls IV: Shivering Isles, and the downloadable content, The Elder Scrolls IV: Knights of the Nine.

Also available at retail stores as early as today is The Elder Scrolls IV:
Shivering Isles for the Xbox 360. This new product allows gamers to play the award-winning expansion to the 2006 Game of the Year, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, without accessing Xbox LIVE online entertainment network. The retail disc also includes the downloadable content, The Elder Scrolls IV: Knights of the Nine.

Released in March 2006 for Windows and Xbox 360 and in March 2007 for the PlayStation 3, Oblivion has already earned countless awards from publications around the world and won numerous Game of the Year and RPG of the Year awards.

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.

Stay tuned for PSU's review on the GOTY edition later this month.

Why not release shivering isles on PSN or on a disc, so that people that bought Oblivion the first time around can play it on their ps3!?

This is nice addition, but they should release DLC on the PSN for the people, like myself who already bought the game.

Yeah, I've been waiting to pick this up too (been renting OB occassionally). I heard that Bethesda is onboard about delivering DLC to the PSN, just some hiccups to clear up. Does anyone know anything about this? Have a link?

I love Bethesda, don't get me wrong. Oblivian is incredible!!!! But, if it's really Game of the Year, and since it's on a Blu-Ray disk, why didn't they just put all of the downloadable content that was on Xbox Live and include it on the disk, or give it to us on PSN? Bethesda is making serious mistakes by not utilizing either option.

i'm not counting out beth delivering us the dlc via psn. i mean when you think about it they could've screwed us out of this version of oblivion like certain other publishers have screwed ps3 owners (Call of Duty 4). im pretty sure theyre going to give us the dlc, probably not for free, but i think we will get it.

@cowboy_fu

This is a shame that we have to buy the game for a second time just to obtain the expansion pack bearing in mind the original ps3 version already has the knights of the nine included.
