Oblivion expansion is dirt cheap News

PC Xbox 360 News by Tom Bramwell

6 November, 2006

Xbox 360 and PC owning Oblivion fans wondering how much that new Knights of the Nine expansion is going to end up setting them back can rest easy - it's only going to cost US$ 9.99, or 800 Microsoft points on Xbox.

That's because Oblivion developer Bethesda "still considers" the Knights of the Nine add-on "downloadable content" rather than a full expansion. That's despite it adding "another 10-20 hours of gameplay" in the words of Bethesda's Pete Hines.

Indeed, you can already read a few details and check out some screenshots on OblivionDownloads.com, where the PC version will be sold from 21st November, while Xbox 360 owners should keep an eye on Marketplace around then.

Knights of the Nine is of course bundled with the PlayStation 3 version, too, which launches alongside the console in the US on 17th November. There's also a boxed PC version due from co-publisher Ubisoft on 23rd November.

Hmmm... any new art content here? Or are we faced with an (admittedly large) new dungeon crawl?

Oh. And furrst. etc.

From what I understand, there is some new art, and the quests are a bit more puzzle oriented than the other factions. It certainly doesn't sound like "just" a dungeon crawl.

10-20 hours of added boredom for only 9.99? Fantastic.

Finally they get the price more or less right. 9 € for 10 hours of gameplay is acceptable.

10-20 hours of added boredom for only 9.99? Fantastic.

Or you could go back and play another ever so generic jrpg...

Sorry Xerx3s, but love or hate Oblivion you cant argue its anything but generic, even if it is massive.

Sounds good to me, even though I've completed the game, my 2nd character I made is just wandering around completing dungeons and keeps dragging me back every time I've got a couple of hours to spare. 800 points for another 10 hours sounds fine to me.

Perhaps you are wandering because you have lost your way?
