2K and Bethesda Softworks Announce The Elder Scrolls IV®: Shivering Isles™ -- Official Expansion for Oblivion

Spring Release Planned for Official Expansion for 2006 Game of the Year as The Elder Scrolls IV®: Oblivion™ Sales Top 2.7 Million Units**

New York, NY and Rockville, MD - January 18, 2007 - 2K, a publishing label of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTWO), and Bethesda Softworks®, a ZeniMax Media company, today announced the upcoming release of The Elder Scrolls IV®: Shivering Isles™, the official expansion for the award-winning The Elder Scrolls IV®: Oblivion™. Shivering Isles will be released for PC this spring.

Shivering Isles features more than 30 hours of new gameplay and allows players to explore an entirely new plane of Oblivion - the realm of Sheogorath, the Daedric Prince of Madness. Shivering Isles adds to the existing world of Oblivion so players can continue playing with their existing saved game and character, or create an all new character to explore the new content.

“Oblivion’s engaging and unique role-playing experience made it both a critical and consumer success,” said Christoph Hartmann, President of 2K. “We are excited to build upon its solid foundation of gameplay and appeal to give fans the expansion they’ve been craving.”

“We’re thrilled with the response that Oblivion has received to date and feel that Shivering Isles will offer a whole new and different experience to anyone who played and enjoyed Oblivion,” said Todd Howard, executive producer for The Elder Scrolls.

Within the Realm of Sheogorath, players can explore the two extreme sides of the god’s madness - the sublimely creative and the completely psychotic. Something is happening to the Shivering Isles and Sheogorath himself looks to the player to be his champion and defend his realm and its inhabitants from destruction. Players will have to ask themselves if they have the strength to survive his trials, tame a realm fraught with paranoia and despair, and wear the mantle of a god.

The Shivering Isles features a bizarre landscape split between the two sides - Mania and Dementia - filled with vast, twisting dungeons mirroring the roots of the trees they are buried within. Players will encounter more than a dozen new creatures including hideous insects, Flesh Atronachs, skeletal Shambles, and amphibious Grummites. Throughout the adventure, players will discover all new items, ingredients, spells, and more, and have the talented craftsmen of Crucible and Bliss forge new armor and weapons.

“The enthusiastic response we’ve received to our downloadable content has been overwhelming, and we’re excited to bring Oblivion fans a full expansion,” said Vlatko Andonov, president of Bethesda Softworks. “The world we’ve created for Shivering Isles is unlike anything you’ve seen or played in Oblivion and we can’t wait for folks to play it.”

Released in March 2006 for the Xbox 360™ videogame and entertainment system from Microsoft and PC, Oblivion sold more than 2.7 million units** in 2006. Among the countless awards and accolades it has garnered to date are Game of the Year and RPG of the Year honors from numerous outlets, including Spike TV’s 2006 Video Game Awards, G4’s G-phoria, the Golden Joystick Awards, GameSpot.com, ShackNews.com, Voodoo Extreme, FiringSquad.com, and many more. Oblivion received the #1 ranking on PC Gamer’s (UK) list of the top 100 games of all time and is the highest rated Xbox 360 game of all time according to Gamerankings.com.

The Windows version of Shivering Isles will be available at retail and is co-published by 2K and Bethesda Softworks, while the Xbox 360 version is currently planned for release only through Xbox Live® online entertainment network by Bethesda Softworks.
