Voodoo Extreme is reporting that Computer & Video Games editors have confirmed with Oblivion's European publisher that Elder Scrolls: Oblivion will be released on March 24th. 14:54 We spied a few rumours creeping around the internet earlier today suggesting RPG Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion was due to whip out its UK and European broadsword on March 24, which prompted us to put a quick call in to Oblivion's Euro handler 2K Games for confirmation. It turns out it's all true, a spokesperson for the company giving a big thumbs up to the date for both PC and Xbox 360 versions of the hotly anticipated sequel. So it's March 24 - unless something disastrous happens. Like a giant kebab striking the Earth and returning us to the Ice Age. That's the whole article, but you can head over to C&VG if you want to see it in all its gloriousness! Thanks Voodoo Extreme!Update: While CVG contacted 2K Games in the UK, IGN followed this up with Bethesda, who denied a specific date has been set: To follow up on such an unexpected development, we contacted Bethesda's VP of Public Relations and Marketing Pete Hines, who firmly denied any sort of release date specification had been made. "Our date is still early 2006," says Mr. Hines. When we asked when a concrete release date might actually be announced, Mr. Hines responded, "We'll let folks know when we're %99.99 sure [Oblivion] would be out on that date. We don't want to miss it by a day." |
