The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind® Achieves Xbox Platinum Hits Status, Again on November 10, 2004.
Top 10 Selling Xbox game of all time accomplishes a first for any Xbox game
(Rockville, MD) November 10, 2004 -- Bethesda Softworks® today announced
that it will release its award-winning RPG, The Elder Scrolls III:
Morrowind® Game of the Year (GotY) edition later this month as part of the
Xbox Platinum Hits series. This is the second time Morrowind has been
released as a Platinum Hits title, the first game ever to accomplish this
feat. (The original version of Morrowind was released as part of the
Platinum Hits program in 2003.) The Morrowind GotY edition allows gamers to
continue their existing games of Morrowind and experience the new quests and
areas offered by the Tribunal® and Bloodmoon® expansions.
Platinum Hits games are generally available for an estimated retail price of
$19.99* (U.S.) at most retailers. Only a select few games for the Xbox®
video game system from Microsoft that have enjoyed the greatest popularity
and highest sales volumes are being selected for the Platinum Hits program.
Morrowind was the best-selling and most highly acclaimed RPG for Xbox in
2002, earning Game of the Year and Best RPG awards from numerous
publications and sites, including Official Xbox Magazine, Gamespot, Team
Xbox, and Xbox Evolved. It was one of the top 10 best-selling games on Xbox
from May through October 2003, a full year after its initial launch (Source:
The NPD Group / NPD Funworld® / TRSTS®). The only other game to accomplish
this feat was Halo.
In Tribunal, you journey to the capital city of Morrowind, called Mournhold,
to meet the other two god-kings of Morrowind, Almalexia and Sotha Sil. Your
journey will lead you to the Clockwork City of Sotha Sil and massive,
epic-sized dungeons, where strange and deadly creatures await you, including
goblins, lich lords, and the mysterious Fabricants.
Bloodmoon takes you to the frozen Island of Solstheim where you’ll
experience snow, blizzards, and new creatures, including frost trolls, ice
minions, and wolves…just to name a few. You’ll have a choice of stories to
follow and have the opportunity to defend the colony, take control over how
the colony is built up, and eliminate the werewolves. Or, you can decide to
join the werewolves and become one of them, opening up a whole new style of
gameplay.
