“Dragonborn” Skyrim expansion will be available for PC, PS3 in early 2013
Bethesda has announced that the next Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim expansion, “Dragonborn,” will be available on the PC and PS3 in early 2013. The publisher is still trying to make the game’s previous expansions, “Dawnguard” and “Hearhtfire,” available on the PS3. But as of right now, there’ still no timetable on when that could happen.
“Dragonborn” will also be available for the Xbox 360 beginning tomorrow (December 4). It’ll be priced at 1600 Microsoft Points ($20).
Elder Scrolls V: Dragonborn expansion officially announced
Bethesda has announced the next add-on expansion for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, “Dragonborn.” The expansion will be available to download from the Xbox Live Marketplace on December 4 for 1600 Microsoft Points ($20). PC and PS3 release dates will be announced at a later time.
The debut trailer above gives us our first taste of Dragonborn and the battle against the Dragon Priest who, like the player character, is a Dragonborn.
Skyrim’s Dawnguard DLC may not come to PS3 after all
Bethesda wants to reassure everyone that they’re still hard at work on the “Dawnguard” expansion for the PS3 version of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. However, a post on the official Bethesda Forums has many gamers wondering if the downloadable content will ever make it to the PlayStation Store.
A Bethesda representative said, “We have tried a number of things, but none of them solve the issue enough to make Dawnguard good for everyone.” The rep also confirmed that the company is working with Sony on a solution but, “This is not a problem we’re positive we can solve.”
The developer has promised to keep the gaming world at large posted as to the progress of “Dawnguard” on the PS3, and we’ll let you if anything changes.
Home is where the Hearthfire is in Skyrim this September
Bethesda will be bringing elements of domestic bliss to The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim with “Hearthfire,” a newly announced add-on for the already massive RPG. The DLC will be available to download first on Xbox Live on September 4 for 400 Microsoft Points ($5). PC and PS3 versions will presumably come later.
Rather than a full-fledged expansion, “Hearthfire” adds a little bit of Minecraft and The Sims to the world of Skyrim. Players will be able to purchase a plot of land and build the house of their dreams (or the shack of their dreams, if that’s what they prefer). Fans of Curb Appeal and Trading Spaces can further decorate their new abode with furniture and knick-knacks built using the new crafting table feature.
And once they have a threshold to walk over, players can even move in their spouse and adopt (and raise) children. Let’s just hope they don’t get eaten by a giant…
Skyrim “Dawngaurd” expansion now available on PC; PS3 version delayed
Here’s some news that doesn’t “suck” (it’s a vampire joke, folks)… Bethesda has announced that the “Dawnguard” expansion for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is now available for PC players. Like the Xbox 360 version, the PC expansion has been priced at $19.99.
But bad news for gamers who get their Skyrim fix on the PS3… Bethesda has announced that the PS3 version has been delayed because the developer isn’t happy with the expansion’s development progress:
We are not satisfied yet with Dawnguard’s performance on the PS3. We would like for everyone to have a chance to play Dawnguard, but we aren’t going to release it for PS3 knowing that some people’s experience in Skyrim will be worse. We do everything we can to have our content available to all; from our free updates, to user mods, to paid DLC. We’re as disappointed as our fans when that isn’t the case, but we’ll continue to push for that reality.
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim – Dawnguard Review: Skyrim, Bloody Skyrim
It’s been roughly seven months since The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim hit store shelves, and chances are most players of the game have not seen everything there is to offer in it. However, that’s not stopping Bethesda from plopping the very first “expansion” into our laps… and no, it’s not horse armor related this time. Dubbed Dawnguard, this content adds a new wrinkle to the overall plight of Skyrim and puts even more of an emphasis on one of the more popular aspects of the franchise: the supernatural. (more…)
Skyrim expansion “Dawnguard” will be available tomorrow
Bethesda has announced that Dawnguard, the first downloadable expansion for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, will be available on the Xbox Live Marketplace tomorrow. Priced at 1600 Microsoft Points ($20), Dawnguard will feature “an all new faction questline, new locations, weapons, creatures and more.”
How much more? How about a Burnsian plot to blot out the sun…
The Vampire Lord Harkon has returned to power. Using the Elder Scrolls, he seeks to do the unthinkable – to end the sun itself. Will you join the ancient order of the Dawnguard and stop him, or will you yourself become a Vampire Lord?
While the expansion is exclusive to the Xbox 360 for now, PC and PS3 players will get their chance to play Dawnguard “soon.”
