Oblivion Mehrunes' Razor add-on dated

Bethesda Softworks today put a release date on the latest add-on for The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. PC and Xbox 360 players eager for more content will be able to download the Mehrunes' Razor quest for a fee starting Thursday.

The new quest revolves around a powerful mage in search of the Daedric artifact Mehrunes' Razor. The Razor has the ability to instantly kill enemies, and the mage intends to use it to overthrow the Empire. Players will have to explore the largest dungeon in the game in order to ferret out the mage and claim the Razor as their own. The quest will also add 17 new magic items and a dozen new books, notes, and journals to read.

Mehrunes' Razor will be the most expensive download yet, coming in at $2.99 for PC users and 250 Marketplace points ($3.13) for Xbox 360 owners. For more information, check out the official Oblivion downloads Web site.
