The Elder Scrolls V: Dawnguard Release Date

The Elder Scrolls V: Dawnguard Release Date

Unleash your inner vampire...or become one

Written by Mr J Muffin on 23 June 12 at 00:10

The day has come, Elder Scrolls fans. The first DLC and Expansion for Skyrim, titled "Dawnguard", is right around the corner. Since its announcement, Bethesda had kept a relatively tight lid on it until E3 time, where a trailer and some screenshots were brought to light. With the announcement of beta signups for the DLC, June 26th was the tentative release date, "so long as nothing goes wrong". Well, according to an official tweet from Bethesda, June 26th is indeed the release date for "Dawnguard".

Dawnguard will be out Tuesday for 360 in English. FIGS 1.6 patch for 360 coming next week and Dawnguard FIGS will be out mid-July.

For those who are confused about "FIGS" as I was upon first reading this, it means 'French Italian German Spanish'. So, the patch that came out two weeks ago for North Americans will be available for, well, French, Italian, German and Spanish speaking people.

Get your swords, shields, bows and staves ready for Tuesday. "Dawnguard" will run you 1600 MSP.

I accidentally turned into a vampire halfway through my Oblivion playthrough. Got hit by something and caught whatever that disease is and never noticed until it was too late. Man, that shit is annoying.

I really need to get around to playing Skyrim. All my friends keep yelling at me to buy it but there's so many other games I need to focus on at the moment.
Jump right out of a creek!

I like Skyrim but I think Ill hold off on this until its MUCH cheaper. 20 bucks for 2 new castles, one area of Oblivion, lame new weapons, pointless shouts? I don't think so.

I don't think so.You might be waiting a while, I don't think it will drop in price in the near future. Maybe when the next DLC is coming out, but even then it would only drop like 5 bucks.

Maybe in a year or two there'll be the obligatory GOTY edition with everything in it.
