What's the release date?
The release date has not been announced, but you can expect to see the Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion sometime in Q4 of 2005.

How long has Oblivion been in development?
Development began in 2002. Just days after Morrowind launched, we began the groundwork for Oblivion and have been working ever since.

What does the name “Oblivion” mean?
Oblivion is the equivalent of Hell in Tamriel, the main world in The Elder Scrolls series.

What’s the storyline?
Demons are released from Oblivion and are taking over the world. Through a series of tasks and quests determined by you, it is your challenge to rid Tamriel of the demons.

What platforms will Oblivion appear on?
Oblivion will be available on PC and future generation consoles.

How big is the game world?
Oblivion is an expansive world with gameplay measured in the hundreds of hours and not the tens. With more than 200 handcrafted dungeons, 1,000 non-player characters, and 60,000 lines of spoken dialogue, the game play is essentially endless.

To keep the player on track we’ve implemented a system that points the player in the direction of the next major quest objective. This allows the player to explore the size and scope of the game world without ever losing sight of their goals.

Where does Oblivion take place?
Oblivion takes place in Cyrodiil, the Imperial Province and heart of Tamriel, as well as parts of Oblivion itself. Much of the game has a more “classic fantasy feel” with Cryodiil having a mystic, enchanted-forest type feeling.

Does the story in Oblivion pick-up where Morrowind ended?
No. Each chapter of The Elder Scrolls series is a different story unto itself and isn't directly connected to any of the other storylines. All of it adds to the lore and history of The Elder Scrolls, but you don't have to play previous games to know what's going on in this one.
