While Bethesda's official website still lists a "holiday 2005" release date for Oblivion, Take Two Interactive has released a fiscal report that states that the next installment of The Elder Scrolls series will be pushed back to February 2006 earliest. This is the interesting part of the press release:
For the first quarter ending January 31, 2006, $300 to $350 million in net sales and $0.04 to $0.10 in diluted net income per share. In addition to the factors mentioned above, the reduction in first quarter guidance also reflects the movement of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion for PC and Xbox 360 from the first quarter to the second quarter and the movement of the Japanese launch of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas for PlayStation 2 out of the first quarter and the fiscal year.
Please note that their fiscal year ends October 31st, so Q1 would be November 2005 to January 2006, and Q2 starts February 1st 2006 - and this is where they expect Oblivion to be released. In an audio recording of the press conference, which I was following on the internet, they explicitly state that Bethesda told them that they need an "additional development cycle in order to meet the high expectation from gamers".
We are trying to get a confirmation for this from Bethesda... |
