This week marked an exciting new announcement from Bethesda regarding their hugely popular Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim in the form of an expansion park called Dragonborn.
Listed to be available on Xbox Live from 4th December this extension will set users back 1600 Microsoft Points and looks to be in the size range of the Oblivion content Shivering Isle.
The trailer has been unveiled, which does offer some insight into what can be expected, especially when taken in conjuncture with the rumours thrown around a fortnight ago.
The announcement shows what appears to be the DLC’s antagonist, the first Dragonborn from ages past who ruled over the island of Solstheim; which is northeast of Skyrim and just offshore from Morrowind. This outting will be the second time the island has appeared in an Elder Scrolls game, which is an achievement in itself, as this was original used on the Bloodmoon expansion for Morrowind.
The trailer has give us even more hope that we can take to the skies on the back of a dragon, as one of the final scenes in the trailer shows, but whether this is an on the rails experiences remains unclear. We do however see a Goblin riding a boar and several other interesting new enemy types.
The first two expansions have not yet made it onto the Playstation 3, and with the 30 day exclusivity for Skyrim on the Xbox 360, it looks like this expansion has a long way to go before it’s updated onto the Sony console as well.
Interestingly Bethesda have quoted on several occasions that the extended content available for Skyrim will be bigger in size than anything we’ve seen before and Solstheim looks like a good sized area for us to get our teeth into.
At least there are no signs of Horse Armour… See the trailer below!
