Shivering Isles on PSN soon

By Robert Purchese Published 22 November, 2007

Next week in US.

Bethesda mouth Pete Hines has said Oblivion expansion Shivering Isles will available to download for PS3 soon.

Word came by way of the company blog, where Hines revealed US gamers will be able to get their hands on SI next Thursday.

Us foreign types may have to wait, however, as Hines cannot offer any confirmation on a European or Australian date just yet.

There is also no indication of how much it will cost. You may remember the 360 version asked for a substantial 2400 Points (GBP 20.40 / EUR 27.91) back in March.

You can, of course, get your PS3 mitts on Shivering Isles buy buying the Game of the Year Edition in December, which also contains mini-expansion Knights of the Nine.

Shivering Isles lets you travel to the realm of Daedric Prince Sheogorath, who is as mad as a hatter. Here you will embark on all sorts of wacky quests as you plough through around 30 hours of new content and gather up new spells, items, armour, ingredients and more.

One for those of you who persisted with Oblivion, then; plenty more of the same to do in even more beautiful areas. But it does nothing to soothe those of you who complained about its mechanics, levelling system and often repetitive questing. Perhaps best avoided if you fall into that camp.

    Good. Bring it to Europe in time for Christmas, and I'll download it.

    i really need to get back into Oblivion after the Xmas rush of games is over.

    I thought it had been confirmed that the downloadable Shivering Isles expansion would be available on the European PS Store on the 29th November but now it turns out it's the US one and Europe has to wait as per usual? Great... /rolls eyes

  • SeesThroughAll #4 4 years ago

    Or is that 29th November for the US and three weeks later for Europe as seems to be the case with the PS Store of late? ;)

    The Bethesda Blog says that they can't confirm.

    "of late"? We had to wait almost 2 months for MKII, FFS.

    Does the Game of the Year include stuff like horse armour etc?

    I held off getting Oblivion at the start, so I'll grab the complete GOTY version instead, when I'll actually find time to play it is another matter altogether.

    Oblivion is probably the most boring game ever created, going into yet another Oblivion gate is worse than punching yourself in the nuts.

    Go play Diablo 2 online, far more enjoyable.

    As far as I remember it's a great expansion (been a while...). Achievements made me play it twice (Dementic or Maniac, can't be both...). It's good PS gamers will (eventualy) be able to play it.

    Nice stealth troll there.

  • Phily50 #10 4 years ago

    i have the us version of the game so i guess that means i need to download this???

    anyone??

    Stealth troll or not, we know PS3 owners need to get used to games being delayed inc the big ones such as The Orange Box. However PS3 version of Oblivion is indeed not in dispute, a better one than X360 (not inc PC).

    The GOTY edition is worth having for those who havent yet tried the game (where were you?!) and I disagreed that it is a boring pile of shit. Sure its may not be for everyone who doesnt have the time to put in 100 hours plus for all the quests but it is beautiful interpretation of a RPG based on a huge 'world'.

    Looking forward to next output from Bethesda but hopefully with more life and busyness to fill the landscape even further.
