Bethesda can never completely whitewash the legacy of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim’s DLC on the PlayStation 3 — the obfuscation and frustration brought on months of development latency;
a myriad of struggles and mysteries (which weren’t entirely of the
company’s own doing); and a lacking, even misleading level of
communication with anxious fans (which kind of was).
But they can build on it. Bethesda began setting the stage for post-release Skyrim content on the PS3 late last year when they confirmed Dragonborn, the game’s second and most recent expansion, for an “early 2013″ release and promised it would be followed shortly by Dawnguard and Hearthfire.
Watch a trailer of Dragonborn below:
Posting on their official blog, Bethesda announced February 5th as Dragonborn’s PC release date on Steam,
adhering to the Xbox 360′s month-or-maybe-two exclusivity net. While
no specific dates were mentioned with regard to the PlayStation 3,
Bethesda says that Dragonborn will be February’s first release, followed by Hearthfire and then Dawnguard within same month. Skyrim update 1.8 will precipitate the process, appearing for download “just prior to Dragonborn.”
