Having avenged the Empress's death in Dishonored's main story, players will now get to slip on the coat of the chap who killed her. After a little tease yesterday, publisher Bethesda Softworks this morning announced 'The Knife of Dunwall', a DLC mini-campaign coming on April 17 for $10. Hey, this post contains spoilers, if you hadn't guessed.
Even though the surprise has been somewhat spoiled by a Trophy leak, Bethesda's tease of the next Dishonored downloadable content sheds a little more light on it. A screenshot released by the company today hints at who you'll be playing as, and more importantly, when. Spoilers to follow.
You may be the Dovahkiin and all, but if you've run the length of Skyrim backwards and forwards you might be craving a little extra challenge. The game's 1.9 update plans to fix all that, and PC players can already download the beta to take advantage of the new features and bug fixes.
PlayStation 3 owners are finally about to receive downloadable content for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim tomorrow. But first, you'll have to download the 1.8 update, which includes a few bug fixes of its own.
The long-awaited tool kit for Rage is coming today, id Software has announced. The whopping 35 GB of mod kit includes idStudio, tutorials, and a variety of game maps and assets to get you started making your own content for the 2011 title.
The Elder Scrolls Online has opened its beta signups today. Bethesda didn't reveal its plans for exactly when the beta tests would be rolling out, but the beta form gives you a way to increase your chances for selection when the waves start hitting.
Why are three factions at war in The Elder Scrolls Online? Because MMORPG's often use large-scale conflict to add a sense of importance to their repetitive quests. Oh no, but that's too simple. No, it's the sort of issue only a 'loremaster' can explain, and ZeniMax has deployed its lead loremaster Lawrence Schick to explain the troubles in a video developer diary.
When I initially played the previous downloadable content for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, nothing seemed amiss. The handful of new areas and pieces of loot littered around the familiar landscape were what I had come to expect from DLC. But now that I've played the "Dragonborn" expansion, the others simply pale in comparison. It's more ambitious, more thematically relevant, and a perfect example of Bethesda's promise to take its time with fully-featured content.
If you were unlucky enough to pick the PlayStation 3 as your platform of choice for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, your hopes for extra content have been as cold and barren as Skyrim itself. The Xbox 360 has been first to the party due to exclusivity arrangements, and the PC has the mod scene to keep it occupied while it waits, but Bethesda has had serious setbacks on PS3. The company has announced that it is putting aside the PS3 releases of Dawnguard and Hearthfire for the time being to focus on the latest expansion, Dragonborn.
Poor PlayStation 3-packing Dragonborn. Though the third piece of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim DLC is approaching next week, technical problems have kept all add-ons off PS3 so far. Sony and Bethesda have joined forces to solve the issues and while we still have no solid word on when DLC might come to PS3, Bethesda has assured that it hasn't given up.
A few years ago, the idea that the sandbox-y first-person stealth-ish shooter could ever find a second wind would be met with sorry sighs. Delightfully, after Deus Ex: Human Revolution last year and now Dishonored, the future's looking grand for the genre time almost forgot. Dishonored publisher Bethesda Softworks has said that sales of Arkane's sneak 'em up are "far exceeding" expectations, and dubbed it "a new franchise."

It's the season of heavy holiday hitters for the games industry, but if you're more of a classic connoisseur you might prefer strolls down memory lane. To that end, a "Doom Classic Complete" set is hitting the PlayStation Network today, and it packs three of the hell-heavy titles together.
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is preparing its next bit of downloadable content, titled Dragonborn. Bethesda shed a little more light on the name and the content today, with a handful of screenshots a few details on what exactly you'll be doing when you take up the mantle again.
The PlayStation 3 has gone a long while without an update for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. The PC version has had a little more content, but only slightly. Bethesda claims that both platforms will be getting new content soon, though, presumably in the form of already-released downloadable content packs.
"Elder Scrolls Online... everything you need about it is right in the name: it's Elder Scrolls but it's online," creative director Paul Sage says in a 9-minute video showing off the first gameplay snippets from ZeniMax's MMORPG. And indeed it certainly does seem to be so. Our John was not pleased with what he saw of TESO at E3, but does this pique your interest?
