Skyrim: Dawnguard Trailer

A few months ago, Bethesda Studios released the Skyrim Creation Kit which provided endless fan-made content for the game. The Creation Kit, along with other add-ons such as Kinect Voice integration, improved kill animations, and horse combat brought the franchise into an overdrive.

But those are just few of what Bethesda has in store for us. Last month, they announced the first Skyrim expansion: Dawnguard.

Dawnguard is scheduled to be for release on June 26 for the Xbox 360 and no release dates yet for the PC and PS3 versions. The add-on revolves around the Dawnguard, an organization dedicated to hunting Vampires and stopping the return of the vampire Lord Harkon, who intends to use an Elder Scroll to permanently blot out the sun. The players can choose whether to aid the Dawnguard, or join the Vampires, becoming a Vampire Lord themselves in the process.

Here is the trailer  for Dawnguard:

From the beginning, the leaders of Bethesda made it clear that unlike with Oblivion (i.e: Horse Armor Expansion) they’re not going to release small pieces of DLC, instead they aim to provide “substantial” and large expansions (similar to Morrowind) for Skyrim.
