Award-Winning Elder Scrolls Series Goes Wireless
The Elder Scrolls Travels:
Stormhold & Dawnstar
May 14, 2003 (Rockville, MD) -- Vir2L®
Studios and Bethesda Softworks® today announced the release
of The Elder Scrolls® Travels: Stormhold and Dawnstar,
two mobile games based on Bethesda's award-winning role-playing
series, The Elder Scrolls®. In 2002, The Elder Scrolls
III: Morrowind® won more than 60 awards, including Game
of the Year and RPG of the Year for both PC and the Xbox™.
Now, prepare to see this same power harnessed as mobile gamers
are pulled into the imaginative worlds of the two games, Stormhold
and Dawnstar.
Experience the fun and excitement of this legendary franchise
in the palm of your hand, complete with epic dungeons, fearsome
monsters, and priceless treasures. Played in first-person
perspective, this epic single-player game is presented with
stunning graphics. As in the genre-defining worlds found in
Morrowind, Daggerfall®, and Arena™, The Elder Scrolls
Travels will be the definitive wireless RPG!
"It's truly amazing how far you can take a game on a
phone," said Todd Howard, executive producer of The Elder
Scrolls series. "I think both casual and veteran players
will be thrilled by the experience this new series has to
offer."
In Stormhold, misfortune has landed you in a prison run by
reputed lunatic Quintus Varus. The overseers put you to work,
and it is clear you are not expected to survive long. You
must find the few who can help you and overcome the challenges
of Stormhold until you are strong enough to defeat the evil
warden.
In the exile post and ice world of Dawnstar, Governor Vinticae
sends players in search of his four champions, one of whom
is probably a traitor. Players must survive the rigors of
Dawnstar and gain power enough to defeat enemies and restore
their good name.
"The quality of these games reflects the effort that
went into making sure we stayed true to the franchise,"
said Douglas Frederick, president of Vir2L Studios. "For
example, the Morrowind team created the game art and ensured
a look-and-feel that is characteristic of the quality of an
award-winning series like The Elder Scrolls."
Stormhold and Dawnstar provide exciting and challenging game
play for a variety of mobile phones through carriers nationwide.
Mforma Group, Inc., a leading provider of mobile data solutions
to wireless operators, is distributing The Elder Scrolls Travels
games worldwide.
"Bethesda Softworks have demonstrated yet again their
expertise and talent for pushing the envelope of gaming,"
said Christophe Watkins, vice president of content and media

Travels games in our channels."
