Knights of the Nine a PS3 exclusive?

October 10, 2006

From the moment it was revealed that the PlayStation 3 version of Oblivion included a new "Knights of the Nine" questline, fans have speculated whether PC and Xbox 360 players will also be able to enjoy it. [1] Unfortunately, Bethesda has confirmed that this quest is indeed PS3 exclusive. [2] On the bright side, more about this faction has been released to the public.

The Knights of the Nine are an order of religious fighters, described as "the good Dark Brotherhood". [3] They task the player with reclaiming the Crusader's Relics, which will boost the player's combat abilities. Other items are available from them, but only if their principles are strictly followed. Players must uphold the knights' virtues by not doing anything that raises their Infamy level.

Keep in mind that this news does not come from a Bethesda press release. The item of news was most likely based on a Games Rader story from the previous day. [4] Supposedly, their item describes the quest as being exclusive, but it does not say that Bethesda told them this. The Official U.S. PlayStation Magazine's November "world exclusive" has yet to reach non-subscribers, so it's strange that new details would emerge so soon after their article's publication, especially since their exclusivity period should still be in effect.

As of now, this news should be treated as suspicious until a source other than PS3Land says otherwise.

Update: according to a recent interview, this confirmation of exclusivity is indeed fabricated.
