Skyrim: Dawnguard DLC coming to Xbox 360 this summer

by Andrew Yoon, May 01, 2012 11:15am PDT

Bethesda has finally announced the first expansion pack for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Titled Dawnguard, the DLC will arrive first on Xbox 360 this summer as part of Bethesda's exclusivity agreement with Microsoft. No word on a PC or PS3 release yet; however the original agreement specified a 30-day exclusivity window.

Unfortunately, the company offered little more than this image when announcing the expansion. At the very least, we expect Dawnguard will offer arrows and, um, glowing eyes.

Before release, Bethesda's Todd Howard said that DLC would be "more substantial" for Skyrim. "We don't know what we're going to make yet, but we'd like them to be closer to an expansion pack feel." The company has confirmed plans for at least two drops of DLC.
