Oblivion is still rolling on Expansions, but is it for the 360?

What feels like immediately after the most recent and popular expansion for the new Elder Scrolls, “Knights of the Nine.” A new issue of PC Gamer says that it may be the newest but there are always more to come. Shivering Isles is set for the PC sometime in the spring of ’07, there is no confirm of a release date for the 360. Considering how much popularity it’s received over Xbox Live, it shouldn’t be long.
Titled, “Shivering Isles” it first got notice back in September of ’06 when an eager fan noticed that both ‘Knights of the Nine’ and ‘Shivering Isles’ were registered in their trademark listing.
In an interview on PC Gamer 2007, it was reported that the new area would be completely new from the original area of Tamriel. “Shivering Isles” is also known as the Realm of Madness, and is ruled over by non-other than the Deadric Joker Prince: Sheogorath. Oblivion fans may remember a certain mission that wound up raining cats and dogs. Literally.
For those of us who haven’t managed to get their hands on ‘Knights of the Nine’ or ‘Mehrunes Razor’ you can go back and forth from Tamriel to the Realm of Madness, and play the missions as you like. With an array of new towns and a large extent of dungeon complexes and even a tourist attraction of source in two towns that are quite the same, but different all together.
The location is somewhere across the Niben Bay area of Bravil. Bethesda really wanted to do a makeover on the NPC’s, and as they reported, they’re quite mad. The objective is to stop Juggaleg, a dark god, from leading a crusade to cleanse the land by the name of “Greymarch”. While Bethesda is being quiet about much more of the expansions fun things to do, all we do know is that your enemies include Zealot Missionaries and ‘The Gatekeeper’, better know as a 20-foot tall giant guarding the entrance of the Shivering Isles. With Giant spiders and ‘Knights of the Order’ who are armored from top to bottom in what looks like ice, it seems quite promising.
