The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion is a game currently in the late stages development by Bethesda Softworks, continuing the long tradition of The Elder Scrolls game series. It is currently confirmed for the PC, Xbox 360, and unconfirmed for the Playstation 3. So far details are scanty but it has been in development since 2002 and it is claimed as "another leap forward in role-playing with its combination of freeform gameplay and cutting-edge graphics."
Initially believed to take place in a world smaller than that of its predecessors, the interview with Todd Howard (see links below) debunks these rumours; it has been confirmed by developers that the world will be bigger. Oblivion will sport a completely reworked, a more involving and exciting combat engine (using the Havok physics engine), outstanding graphics (comparable to action games such as Half-Life 2, a more robust magical system, a more interactive thievery system (similar to [[Thief}}'s), a reworked fighting system (more animations and use of counters-weapons). and many other features. Oblivion will mainly take place in the Imperial province of Cyrodiil but parts of it will also take place in Oblivion, the realm of the Daedra.
It is slated to be released in the fourth quarter of 2005 (roughly the same time as Xbox 360).
