Apparently, composers Rod Abernethy and Jason Graves have produced 60-minutes of classic symphonic style music for the highly anticipated next-generation STAR TREK video gane. These two have worked on such games as The Hobbit and Blazing Angels, so you konw the score will be great. Click read more for the full info.

PRESS RELEASE

September 28, 2006 (Rockville, MD) – Bethesda Softworks® announced today that its blockbuster role-playing game, The Elder Scrolls® IV: Oblivion™ will be a launch title for the PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system this November in North America, and next March in Europe when the new console is expected to be released there. In addition, The Elder Scrolls® Travels: Oblivion™ will be released on the PSP® (PlayStation®Portable) system in the Spring 2007 in North America and Europe.

It seems the the rumors that have been swirling on the net for months now about Oblivion being ported to the Sony systems is true after all. According to 1up, this month's OPM magazine will have an exclusive on the titles. The Sony versions of the game will include a new faction called the Knights of the Nine, which will be "the good Dark Brotherhood." Well, that puts that to rest. (Thanks, Gargantou)

It is being widely reported around the web that there is an expansion in the works for The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion called " Knights of the White Stallion." This stems from a cryptic Gamestop website listing. Well, not being satisfied with rumor, we went directly to the source, Pete Hines V.P. of Marketing and Public Relations Bethesda Softworks, to ask about this expansion. Here is what he had to say:

There’s no expansion in development called Knights of the White Stallion. That’s the name of a quest in Oblivion.

Right now we have no announced plans for any new content, add-ons, or expansions. If that changes, we’ll let folks know.

So there you have it folks, it seems that the listing was an honest mistake. While we have no doubt there will eventually be an expansion, Bethesda is far from ready to announce it.

According to Gamespot, a retail listing at GameStop (stop, spot, sopt, confusing, isn't it?) called Knights of the White Stallion, was actually an Expansion Pack for the PC version of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. The retailer did accept a few pre-orders for the add-on apparently before removing the product page. Even though the page was listed for the PC only, it is a safe bet if the expansion is on the way for one, it is on the way for the other. Rumor mill for now.
