The first solid details from the upcoming Oblivion full expansion hit the newsstands today in the latest issue of PC Zone Magazine. The add-on will offer over 30 hours of new adventures, with new quests, monsters, a new land, and new quoest paths that branch more than before. The storyline begins when an ominous looking gate opens in Nibben Bay, a new doorway that leads to a "Torn Realm," called the Shivering Isles. The land is ruled by Sheogorath, the god of madness and dementia. When players meet this god they must go through his trials, and it is even said players may end up replacing the diety. You can expect this expansion in the second quarter of 2007, no word on how Bethesda plans to work the Xbox360/PS3 versions of the expansion.
