LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM - October 18 — Bethesda Softworks® and Ubisoft, one of the world’s largest video game publisher today announced plans to make Knights of the Nine™ content for The Elder Scrolls IV®: Oblivion™ available for the PC on November 23rd for EMEA territories.
Knights of the Nine is a compilation that will include all the other Oblivion downloadable content released to date: Horse Armor, The Orrery, Wizard’s Tower, Vile Lair, Thieves Den, Mehrunes’ Razor, and Spell Tomes.
Knights of the Nine features an all-new faction and quests for noble characters and answers many of the questions surrounding the Ayleid ruins found throughout Oblivion.
