Bloodmoon Gold

May 23, 2003

Bethesda says the latest expansion pack to The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind has gone gold, which means Bloodmoon is finished and you'll be able to buy it soon. Yay! This does not affect your failing career and love life. Aohhh... But you can ease your agony by playing more of the stellar first-person RPG that's so big it'll blow your mind. Yay! Still, you're never going to get laid again in your entire life. Aohhh... Don't worry, at least you get to chop the hell out of more goblins. Yay!

"In Bloodmoon, you'll help build a mining colony and face the threat of werewolves, or decide to become a werewolf and indulge your thirst for the hunt. Either way, Bloodmoon offers a completely different experience from anything you've seen in Morrowind.

Bloodmoon takes you to the frozen Island of Solstheim where the Empire is establishing a new mining colony - a venture being threatened by the prophecy of the Bloodmoon and rumors of werewolves. Your journey north from Vvardenfell by ship will bring you to a whole new world, where the ashlands and rainy coasts of Morrowind give way to forests and hills covered with snow and ice. In the huge wilderness of Solstheim you'll experience snow, blizzards, and new creatures, including frost trolls, ice minions, and wolves…just to name a few.

But what of diehard Xbox owners and their copies of Morrowind? Are they all going to be shafted while we enjoy Tribunal and now Bloodmoon? Of course not! Bethesda loves its fans as much as we love the combination of Star Trek and Asia Carrera (which is a hell of a lot sexier than you think -- God bless picture-in-picture). All of the content of Bloodmoon and Tribunal will be included in the Morrowind Game of the Year Edition, to be released this October on Xbox. This means that Xbox owners can have everything that we have and enjoy it with their existing saves and characters from Morrowind. It's love all around! No, you're still not going to get any, ever. Aohhh...

Look for Bloodmoon at the GameStore the first week of June.
