No new Elder scrolls for xbox 360 until 2006

Elder Scrolls IV missing Xbox 360 launch
Take-Two delays both the next-gen and PC versions of its anticipated role-playing game to early 2006.

Although the Xbox 360 goes on sale in just over three weeks, Microsoft still hasn't announced the final day-of launch game lineup for the console. However, gamers can now scratch one of the next-gen platform's most anticipated games off their holiday shopping lists.

In a conference call with analysts today, Take-Two Interactive announced that The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion is being delayed until the second quarter of its next fiscal year, which runs from February to April 2006. While this is still technically within Microsoft's 14-week "launch window" for the Xbox 360, it means that the game will not be on sale when the console arrives in stores on November 22.

Paul Eibeler, Take-Two's president and CEO, said that quality assurance was the reason for the delay. "We are moving the launch of Elder Scrolls IV to our second quarter, based on the Bethesda Softworks requiring additional development time to ensure the title meets gamers' high expectations for this popular franchise," he said. The date change will also affect the PC version of the game, which was slated to ship simultaneously.

The delay is surprising, as an October 6 Reuters report apparently confirmed Oblivion for the Xbox 360 launch. Because it was the sole role-playing game for the console slated for release in 2005, it was also featured in many 360 bundles offered by online retailers.

Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion is developed by Bethesda Softworks and is published under Take-Two's 2K Games subbrand. Its delay reduced the number of Take-Two Xbox 360 launch titles to five games: NBA 2K6, NHL 2K6, Amped 3, Top Spin 2, and College Hoops 2K6.

Damn! It was the only reason why I was going to get a 360. I think I'll wait until Elder scrolls comes out before I buy the new xbox. That way I dont just have the system there. I'm not really a big fan of sports games since thats the only other games that will be out for the launch.

Oblivion was the only reason for me to get the 360 at launch. I guess now I have to wait till next year to get one. Its kinda work out for me cuz I still have like around 15 games I need to beat. Also give them more times to fix all the bugs they find.

I'm in the same boat here. Not going to get a 360 at launch here either anymore. I'm not that big into the sports games that I can justify spending that kind of money without having a game that I REALLY want to play.

Could be that they are fixing the bugs. I dont think we want it to be like morrowind on the xbox with its super slow loading time and its random game deletion. This could be a good thing!

Or worse, like Daggarfall was on launch. Be grateful they are taking ther time to fix it, yeha I'm disappointed but at least now I have the time to play the other 360 games I'm getting instead of Oblivion sucking up all my time.
