2K Games to Co-Publish Oblivion

Company: Take2 Interactive
Product: The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

2K Games has announced a co-publishing agreement between Take-Two Interactive Software and Bethesda Softworks, a ZeniMax Media company, granting Take-Two co-publishing, sales, and distribution rights to The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, the sequel to the best-selling and critically acclaimed The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind. Bethesda Softworks will continue to direct the development of the title and retains all future rights to the franchise.

?We are thrilled to be working as co-publisher with Bethesda Softworks to help maximize sales of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion,? said Christoph Hartmann, Senior Vice President of Publishing for 2K Games. ?Being selected by Bethesda to work on a title that is as highly anticipated by both PC and console gamers worldwide as Oblivion is a testament to 2K Games? capabilities in successfully managing AAA titles.?

?As a publishing label of Take-Two Interactive, 2K Games has the benefit of a worldwide, industry-leading sales and distribution network, and Take-Two?s proven track record of releasing great games,? said Vlatko Andonov, President of Bethesda Softworks. ?Through this partnership, Oblivion will reach the largest audience possible.?


Oblivion is the fourth title in the best-selling Elder Scrolls series, and brings the RPG genre to new heights with its combination of freeform gameplay and cutting-edge graphics. Oblivion features a 3D engine that can render stunningly realistic environments, groundbreaking A.I. for all characters in the game, and the same open-ended gameplay style that has made The Elder Scrolls one of the most critically acclaimed franchises of all-time.

Since its unveiling in fall 2004, Oblivion has become one of the most talked about games of 2005, with two major North American magazine cover stories to date, and has been recognized as among the most anticipated games of the year by numerous websites and magazines.
