New Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim DLC Hearthfire Announced

PS3 Owning Elder Scrolls Fans Set For Further Disappointment

Bethesda has officially announced a new piece of DLC for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim titled Hearthfire.

The company says the second add-on pack for the game will enable players to “purchase land and build your own home from the ground up – from a simple one-room cottage to a sprawling compound complete with armory, alchemy laboratory, and more.”

Gamers will be able to choose land, customise their house, guard it from unwanted visitors and turn it into a home by adopting children.

Hearthfire will be available to download from Xbox Live on September 4, priced at 400 Microsoft Points (£3.43).

There’s still no word on a release date for the previous DLC pack, Dawnguard, on PS3, leaving owners of Sony’s console to quite understandably wonder if they’ve been shafted.

We’ve emailed Bethesda asking when such a release date will be forthcoming and have yet to receive a response.
