A blurb on Waterstones’ site for Elder Scrolls novel Infernal City has apparently dropped the bombshell that the next game’s set two centuries after Oblivion.

So it says: “A novel that takes places forty-five years after the Oblivion Crisis, which is the story of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion game and the expansion pack Shivering Isles. It partly bridges the gap for the next game, which is set 200 years after the Oblivion crisis.”

Or so it used to say, apparently. Looks as though someone’s done some quick editing. Thank Kotaku for spotting it.

Steam has put more Bethesda games up on the site and at 20 percent off.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion GoY Edition with Knights of the Nine and the Shivering Isles expansions, The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind GoY Edition with the Bloodmoon and Tribunal expansions, and Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth.

Prices range from $11.19 – $19.99.

Rogue Warrior will land on the service in September, with a price point to be decided.

The information that these titles would be released leaked out on Friday, but apparently it wasn’t too much of a blunder.

Animals need clothes. This is an undeniable fact. And yet, Oblivion is the one of the few games in existence that allows players to keep their furry friends’ filthy unmentionables out of the public eye. It’s a shame too, because just look at what humanity’s bizarre innate desire has done for Bethesda.

“You guys LOVE Oblivion,” exclaimed Bethesda scribe “aching.” “To this day, 2 years later. Looking at our Xbox Live reports, every day, tens of thousands of people STILL play Oblivion and they purchase thousands and thousands of downloadable content — again, every day.”

“Yes, even Horse Armor continues to sell daily.”

Wicked.
