The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion 5th Anniversary Edition Out Next Month

Bethesda has officially announced that it will be releasing a special edition of its classic Oblivion title next month, called The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion 5h Anniversary Edition.

Bethesda is getting ready to deploy the extremely impressive The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim at the end of the year, so the company wants to make sure that plenty of people experienced its predecessor, Oblivion.

As such, after plenty of retailer leaks, the North American developer and publisher confirmed that it will be deploying an anniversary edition of The Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion in North America and Europe next month.

The special version of Oblivion includes all of the content released up until now for it, as well as special bonus items, which are listed below.

The Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion 5th Anniversary Edition includes:

- The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion: With the empire ready to crumble, the gates of Oblivion open and demons march upon the land. You must find the lost heir to the throne and unravel the sinister plot that threatens to destroy all of Tamriel.
- Knights of the Nine: A fallen King has been unchained from the darkness of Oblivion to seek vengeance upon the Gods who banished him. Only a champion pure of heart can vanquish the evil that has been released.
- Shivering Isles: Enter the torn realm of Sheogorath – a world where Mania and Dementia reign. Do you have the strength to survive his trials, to tame a realm fraught with paranoia and despair, and wear the mantle of a God?

The North American 5th Anniversary Edition also includes:

- Collector’s Steelbook: A beautiful collectible metal case masterfully embossed with Daedric symbols.
- Making of Oblivion: A behind-the-scenes documentary on the making of Oblivion.
- Oblivion Game Map: A full-color map of Cyrodiil and the Shivering Isles.
- Save on Skyrim: Contains a $10 mail-in rebate offer for the purchase of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and a Skyrim strategy guide.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion 5th Anniversary is set to be released for the PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in North America on July 12, for $29.99, while a European release date or pricing details have yet to be established.
