Oblivion Expansion
Here's an interesting item excerpted from Gamer's Reports:It is being widely reported around the web that there is an expansion in the works for The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion called " Knights of the White Stallion." This stems from a cryptic Gamestop website listing. Well, not being satisfied with rumor, we went directly to the source, Pete Hines V.P. of Marketing and Public Relations Bethesda Softworks, to ask about this expansion. Here is what he had to say:
There’s no expansion in development called Knights of the White Stallion. That’s the name of a quest in Oblivion.
Right now we have no announced plans for any new content, add-ons, or expansions. If that changes, we’ll let folks know.
Everyone is now reporting that this means there is no expansion for this fall. Well, not so fast.
Look at what Pete Hines actually said:
1. There's no expansion pack called "Knights of the White Stallion."
2. There are no announced plans for expansions.
Hmm. So did he deny an expansion pack was in development, or did he deny that they'd announced one? That looks like a very big non-denial denial to me. He would still be technically telling the truth if an expansion pack was in development named anything but "Knights of the White Stallions."
Look, there's no way an expansion pack isn't in development for Oblivion. The only question is whether it ships before Christmas. I would guess that spring would be more likely (and March would be the most likely month, as it would be the anniversary of the game's release).
