News: Downloadable expansion will soon be available in stores.

Bethesda Softworks has announced that The Shivering Isles, the previously Xbox Live-only expansion to The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion will be available in stores in October for the Xbox 360. Available for download since March, the retail disc version will make the expansion available to Oblivion owners without an Internet connection who don't want to bring for the upcoming Game of the Year edition.

The Shivering Isles retail disc will also include the Knights of the Nine downloadable content.

For those that need a little more background on The Shivering Isles, you can read our review or check out Bethesda's overview:

With more than 30 hours of new gameplay, Shivering Isles allows you to explore an entirely new plane of Oblivion Ц the realm of Sheogorath, the Daedric Prince of Madness. Shivering Isles features a bizarre landscape split between the two sides Ц Mania and Dementia Цfilled with vast, twisting dungeons mirroring the roots of the trees they are buried within. Sheogorath himself looks to you to be his champion and defend his realm and its inhabitants from destruction as you discover all new items, ingredients, spells, and much more.

Knights of the Nine features an all-new faction and quests for noble characters and answers many of the questions surrounding the Ayleid ruins found throughout Oblivion. Players can join a new faction and found their own order of holy knights Ц leading them into battle against a sorcerer-king and his demonic minions while exploring massive dungeons and searching for legendary relics Ц the holy armor and weapons of the Divine Crusader.
