  • All Skyrim DLC is (Finally) Coming to PS3 in February

    Gamers who bought Skyrim for the PlayStation 3 might finally have a reason to blow the dust off their copy of Skyrim and brush up on their dragon shouts. Bethesda today announced that all of the downloadable content (DLC) for Skyrim will finally be coming to the PlayStation 3.

    Bethesda and Microsoft obviously have had an exclusivity deal for Skyrim DLC, as the three add-ons – “Dawnguard,” “Hearthfire,” and “Dragonborn” – were all released on the Xbox 360 for weeks before they appeared on the PC. PlayStation 3 gamers got the shaft, though, as no bit of Skyrim DLC has yet appeared in the PlayStation Network Store. There were rumors of technical problems, but whatever the trouble Bethesda seems to have managed it.

    The add-ons will be released in an odd, backwards style for Sony’s console. The latest Skyrim DLC, “Dragonborn” will be the first to appear on the PS3, followed by “Hearthfire” and then “Dawnguard,” the first DLC that was release for Xbox 360 back in June 2012. The 1.8 update for Skyrim will also be coming to the PS3 just before the launch of “Dragonborn.” Bethesda stated that all of the content will be released in February, though no specific dates have been given.

    A specific date has been given, however, for the PC version of “Dragonborn.” The latest Skyrim DLC will be coming to Steam on February 5.

  • Skyrim’s “Dragonborn” DLC Will Take Players to Solstheim

    Bethesda today updated its Elder Scrolls website, revealing new details about the upcoming Dragonborn DLC for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Players who purchase the content will be able to travel outside the province of Skyrim, to the island of Solstheim.

    Solstheim is located to the northwest of Vvardenfell, where The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind. The island and the city of Raven Rock are inhabited by Dark Elves, and the island is somewhat famous for being a large source for ebony. Solstheim is also home to the native Skaal Nords, as well as Ash Spawn and Rieklings, which Dovahkiin will be battling. From the Elder Scrolls website:

    Encounter new towns, dungeons, and quests, as you traverse the ash wastes and glacial valleys of this new land. Become more powerful with shouts that bend the will of your enemies and even tame dragons. Your fate, and the fate of Solstheim, hangs in the balance as you face off against your deadliest adversary – the first Dragonborn.

    Some teasers about the story behind the Dragonborn DLC were revealed earlier this month in the trailer for the new content. Players will be battling the “First Dragonborn,” who has mysteriously returned to Tamriel.

    The DLC includes new spells and shouts, including a shout Bethesda states will allow players to “summon the inner power of a dragon to deliver colossal blows and strengthen other shouts.” In addition, players will gain access to Bonemold and Chitin armors, as well as Stalhrim weapons. The best part, though? Dragon mounts:

    Skyrim ‘Dragonborn’ DLC Trailer Released

    It’s been nearly a year since The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim was released to universal acclaim, and Bethesda has kept the game alive through the Dawnguard and Hearthfire downloadable content (DLC) packs. This is in addition to the PC modding community’s tweaks and overhauls. It seems that Skyrim, like Oblivion before it, will almost certainly be played for years to come.

    Today, Bethesda released the first preview trailer for the third Skyrim DLC, Dragonborn. Rumors in the past few weeks had held that the new content would be taking players back to the province of Morrowind, the setting of The Elder Scrolls III, and include dragon mounts. It turns out that the rumors might very well be true true, as images of giant mushrooms can be seen during the video, and Dovahkiin can clearly be seen mounting a dragon at around the 50-second mark.

    Dragonborn will be released for Xbox 360 first, on December 4 for 1600 Microsoft Points. The PC version will undoubtedly follow soon after. Sadly, the PlayStation 3 version of Dragonborn may never appear, as neither of the previous two Skyrim DLCs has yet been released for that console.
