Bethesda Game Studios today announced that Jeremy Soule will be scoring The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. Soule's previous work includes Total Annihilation, SOCOM, and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. He also scored the previous game in The Elder Scrolls series, Morrowind.

"I've been working with Jeremy for a long time," said Todd Howard, executive producer for Oblivion, "and this is by far his best work. The game is an epic-fantasy-drama, and the score adds greatly to its dramatic appeal. What he has brought to Oblivion is extraordinary. I can't wait for everyone to hear it."

"It has been a thrill to score the music for the next installment in The Elder Scrolls series," said Soule. "The stunning, epic quality of The Elder Scrolls series is particularly compatible with the grand, orchestral style of music I enjoy composing the most. It has been a pleasure to be involved with such a revolutionary series that is poised to redefine the RPG genre once again."

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion will release holiday season 2005 on PC and Xbox 360.
