It’s fair to say that The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion provided the first “oh my goodness!” moment of the current generation of consoles. Having slummed through darkness for what seemed like an eternity, the player emerged into a simply huge and beautifully crafted world, which stretched as far as the eye could see.
Eurogamer Denmark has reported that a source has confirmed a direct sequel to Oblivion is indeed in the works:
“This source not only confirmed that the game is in current production, but also spoke briefly about the content – with fantasy-sounding phrases like Dragon Lord, something with The Blades – and that voice acting for the characters in the game is currently happening in the weeks to follow.
The same source confirmed, with official game documents in hand, that this will be the chronological sequel to what happened in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, which is the latest game in the now 16-years-old Elder Scrolls saga and by itself one of the better RPGs for PC and consoles.
The sequel to Oblivion is coming, we can hereby confirm without hesitation. It’s been a while since 2006, hasn’t it?”
We agree, it has been a long time since the last one. Is it time to dust off the old horse armour?

I got oblivion this summer to while away the hours, but couldn’t really get into it. Fallout 3 agreed with me more!
