new oblivion download, map expansion

SHIVERING ISLES

i found information on this incredible download on gamespot.com and an xbox 360 fanboy site
The following information was posted by Emma Boyes
at gamespot.com:


"Titled The Shivering Isles, the first full Oblivion expansion will add a whole new land to explore. The Isles, which are also known as the Realm of Madness, will be divided into a northern area (Mania) and a Southern area (Dementia). A town called Split on the Mania-Dementia border has two of every citizen, and one of the quests will be to solve this doppelganger mystery.

The Shivering Isles are reachable through a door set in a strange statue and located on a small island that appears in the water in Niben Bay near Bravil. Players will be able to move between Cyrodiil--the realm of the original Oblivion--and the Shivering Isles freely.

The expansion will contain more than 30 hours of new gameplay with branching quest storylines, and the landscape itself will change according to the decisions players make during their adventures. There will also be new creatures, dungeons, and quests. Two of the new monsters include a Gatekeeper, a golem-style creature made up of stitched together body parts, and the Knights of the Order, which are made from tree roots.

A spokesperson for Bethesda Softworks confirmed the expansion's existence but declined to reveal further details at this time."



I have confirmed this information by seeing it at several different websites and game forums.

The download is most definately to be put on the xbox live marketplace for 360 gamers such as myself.
Xbox magazine has confirmed the download to be for 360 so it will not just be put on the pc.

Bethesda has assured us that this download will come out in the second quarter of this year. So probably around 3 to 4 months or maybe 5 at the most.
There is no information on how much this will cost, probably alot.

This is also the first real expansion for oblivion,
the other downloads were just small plug-ins.

Also, i have more info about this expansion, this was not on this guys post but it was on an xbox 360 fanboy site.
It said that in this expansion, the land called "Domentia"
is the land of the daedric god "sheogorath"
one of the quests in this land is to defeat the daedric god himself and take his land from him.

This download is gonna be awsome, ill get to kill a daedric god, easy for me.
