(RUMOR) - Oblivion Finds Us On March 20th?
In a newsletter from EBgames.com, they officially advertised The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion for pre-order. So what’s the big deal? Well, the release of Oblivion has been a subject of intense debate since E3 2005. Initially the game was supposed to launch with the console, then it was moved to the annoyingly vague "launch window," and now nobody really knows. However, with EBgames.com sending out a newsletter urging people to preorder, perhaps they have some reason to be more confident in their listed March 20, 2006 ship date. Whether the game will actually release in March is, unfortunately, still something that can’t be confirmed. Bethesda has remained tight-lipped about the actual release since they’re committed to polishing the game as much as they feel necessary before it hits store shelves. If you didn’t already know, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion is poised to be one of the most immersive, expansive single player role playing experiences to hit store shelves. It offers a vast array of character customization options, with myriad methods of combining character classes, primary and secondary skills, as well as seemingly countless amounts of items, armor and weaponry. The game is also touting an advanced artificial intelligence system called Radiant AI which should allow for NPCs to follow unique daily regimens. If you’ve seen any of the screens or movies, it’s easy to see the game looks gorgeous so far. We’ll have more on Bethesda’s highly anticipated and ambitious title as soon as it’s available.Source: http://xbox360.ign.com/
