The Elder Scrolls IV: Shivering Isles Announced

32
Thanks to PC Zone we knew that an expansion pack for The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion was on the way, and Bethesda today officially announced Shivering Isles. According to Bethesda, the expansion will add more than 30 hours of new gameplay and allows you explore the realm of Sheogorath, the Daedric Prince of Madness.
Within the Realm of Sheogorath, players can explore the two extreme sides of the god's madness – the sublimely creative and the completely psychotic. Something is happening to the Shivering Isles and Sheogorath himself looks to you to be his champion and defend his realm and its inhabitants from destruction. Do you have the strength to survive his trials, tame a realm fraught with paranoia and despair, and wear the mantle of a God? The 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. You'll encounter more than a dozen new creatures including hideous insects, Flesh Atronachs, skeletal Shambles, amphibious Grummites. Throughout your adventure, you will discover all new items, ingredients, spells, and more, and have the talented craftsmen of Crucible and Bliss forge new armor and weapons just for you.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Shivering Isles will be released this spring for PC and for Xbox 360 via Xbox Live. Three screenshots can be found here. The press release also mentions that Oblivion has sold a whopping 3 million copies since being released last year.
