The Elder Scrolls III: Tribunal Announced
Expansion Set to Award-Winning RPG Morrowind to Arrive in November
Rockville, MD – September 6, 2002 – Bethesda Softworks™ is pleased to announce The Elder Scrolls III: Tribunal™, an expansion pack for its critically acclaimed RPG, The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind™ for PC.
Scheduled for release this November, Tribunal will introduce additional content and features into the already staggering game world of Morrowind, and can be experienced by any player at any point. Morrowind has won more than 40 awards, including Editor’s Choice awards from PC Gamer, Computer Gaming World, and Computer Games Magazine.
In Tribunal, a ruthless new king has taken the throne of Morrowind, while an aging god drifts deeper into madness. Into this chaos you are thrust, with deadly assassins close behind you and Morrowind's uncertain future ahead. Your journey will lead you to Mournhold, capital city of Morrowind, to the clockwork City of Sotha Sil, and through massive, epic-sized dungeons.
“In Morrowind you get to meet Vivec, but he is just one member of the ruling Tribunal,” said Todd Howard, Project Leader. “We’ve always wanted to take you on an adventure to Mournhold to meet the other two god-kings, Almalexia and Sotha Sil. It’s an awesome city, and the quests there are some of the best yet.“
Strange and deadly creatures await you in Tribunal, including goblins, lich lords, and the mysterious Fabricants. Powerful new armor and weapons will aid you in your survival, and your adventures will be documented in the improved journal system and an annotatable map. The fate of Morrowind is in your hands…again.
The Elder Scrolls III: Tribunal is scheduled for release this November for PC. It will be distributed in North America by Bethesda Softworks, and in Europe by Ubi Soft® Entertainment. For more information on Morrowind and Tribunal, visit www.elderscrolls.com.
