Skyrim’s “Dawnguard” Is Official, Xbox 360 Timed Exclusive

Skyrim’s “Dawnguard” Is Official, Xbox 360 Timed Exclusive

None

Skyrim is already one of the largest games currently available on PC and home consoles (and, on the former, one of the most malleable), but news hit this morning with the recent Kinect-enabling patch that an announcement of DLC plans would follow later today.

Well, it’s later, and the news is out there. Dawnguard, once a mere rumor spawned by a trademark filing , is a real thing (according to both a post on the Bethesda blog and a tweet from the same source. Said tweet also confirms that the DLC will be a timed exclusive on the Xbox 360, apparently following the Activision school of DLC release planning:

As mentioned before, the first content drops for Skyrim will be releasing exclusively on Xbox 360 before it’s available anywhere else.



Though, as of yet, there are no details on what this DLC will entail, the familiar horn-helmed Viking-esque warrior from the Skyrim cover returns for the DLC’s promotional image, his eyes shining bright yellow, like miniature suns. I can’t help but think that the DLC will, in some way, have to deal with combating either vampires or demons. Given that both are, in some way or another, already canonical in Skyrim, it seems like a good bet.

As of now, the content is slated to launch in the summer, though a specific date has not been given. Bethesda further promises additional details at E3. Get pumped, people!
