On Monday, we brought you the news that The Elder Scroll IV: Oblivion would be getting a re-release in the form of the ‘5th Anniversary Edition’, ahead of Skyrim’s debut later this year. With the boxart now posted over at Amazon, it looks like trophies may well be included in this new edition of the game.
Of course, trophies would be a nice addition to the game – the question of their inclusion was the very first comment on that announcement post – but up to now, re-releases of older games on the PS3 have not usually been updated. As spotted by PSLS, the back of the new silver boxart shows ‘trophies’ alongside ‘add-on content’ in the PlayStation Network banner.
Now don’t get all too excited – we had almost exactly the same situation with Metal Gear Solid 4 last year and it turned out to be a typo. The difference though is the MGS4 re-release was just for the budget ‘Greatest Hits’ line in the US, whereas this is a fully-fledged ‘ultimate edition’ of Oblivion.
Take it with a pinch of salt of course until we get clarification from Bethesda, but this could just be the reason you were looking for to play through one of the greatest western RPGs of recent times all over again.

I was planning on getting this this summer, so if this turns out to be true… Sweet!

Would be awesome, but I guess it’s more likely just a standard text they forgot to remove.
skibadee

Sympozium, cyclone tornado AGAIN!

Never played any of the Oblivion games before, I’m tempted by the look of Skyrim, so I’m thinking of picking this up. I don’t care about the trophies, so I’ll most likely end up getting the standard edition cheap.

If you are gonna buy iit, just make sure that you have no plans for a week as nothing is going to get done.

You seriously have to try it. I’d go as far to say that it is the best game I’ve ever played.

first off its Oblivion is not a series oblivion is one of the most disappointing games ever made
secondly the actual series is called The Elder Scrolls
Lastly Fuck this game want to experience a true TES game? get Arena DaggerFall or Morrowind don’t even bother with this broke peice of shit

Lord_Gremlin

I have the GOTY edition, so please, just patch that.
I’m not too sure I’ll buy this otherwise, trophies are the only excuse I need to lose another couple of hundred hours in Oblivion AGAIN, but I’m not buying the whole thing three times.

They may as well just give the platinum now! But that would be no fun…
Smallville2106
Fingers crossed for trophies then…

So do I buy this or SKYRIM? I don’t know anything about the series but I know a series exists. Do I want to hear the story or just play on SKYRIM as a stand alone experience?

They’re all self-contained, kind of like Final Fantasy.
