THE ELDER SCROLLS III: MORROWIND FOR PC GOES GOLD
Highly Anticipated RPG Features Groundbreaking
Combination
of Incredible Graphics and Non-linear Gameplay
April 23, 2002 (Rockville, MD) — Bethesda Softworks™
announced today that the highly-anticipated role-playing game,
The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind™ for PC, has gone to
gold master and will be in stores the first week of May. Morrowind
will also be available soon for the Xbox™ video game
system from Microsoft.
Morrowind is an epic, open-ended single-player
RPG in which a player can create and play any kind of character
imaginable. Players can choose to follow the main storyline
and find the source of the evil blight that plagues the land,
or set off on their own to explore strange locations and develop
their character based on their actions throughout the game.
Featuring stunning 3D graphics, open-ended gameplay, and an
incredible level of detail and interactivity, Morrowind promises
to be an experience like no other.
"We know the gaming community has been
anxiously awaiting the arrival of Morrowind for a long time,"
said Todd Howard, project leader for Morrowind. "We were
able to remain true to our goal of providing the deepest,
most cutting edge RPG you can buy. I hope everyone will enjoy
the game as much as we enjoyed creating it."
Morrowind is the sequel to Bethesda's award-winning
titles Arena™ and Daggerfall®, highly regarded as
two of the most intricate and compelling role-playing games
ever released. Following in their footsteps, Morrowind has
already garnered numerous awards from last year's E3 show
and an impressive collection of accolades. PC Gamer Magazine
called it "The best-looking 3D RPG ever," and GameSpy
included Morrowind on its list of most wanted games for 2002.
"As has already been mentioned
by numerous gaming publications, Morrowind will change the
way we view role-playing games forever," said Vlatko
Andonov, president of Bethesda Softworks. "We couldn't
be prouder of the development team for what they've accomplished,
for taking on a challenge like Morrowind and implementing
it so skillfully."
