E3 2012: Bethesda says first add-on content for latest Elder Scrolls role-playing game currently penciled in for later this month on Xbox 360.
LOS ANGELES--If all goes as scheduled at Bethesda Game Studios, the first downloadable content for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim--Dawnguard--will arrive later this month. Joystiq reports today that Bethesda's Todd Howard said the DLC is "tentatively" scheduled for June 26.
The content will arrive first on Xbox Live and will head to the PlayStation 3 and PC at a later date. Xbox 360 gamers may not need to wait until June 26 to try out Dawnguard, as Bethesda is currently accepting applications to beta-test Dawnguard. Successful applicants will score early access to the content and will receive the add-on for free.
Dawnguard is the first expansion to the award-winning role-playing game Skyrim and is rumored to add snow elves and crossbows. Bethesda released its first trailer last week. For more on the content, check out GameSpot's analysis of the video, embedded below.

The Xbox 360 is the BEST console EVER made. --John Carmack
This DLC better be woth the amount of waiting we've had to do to get it. If its as underdeveloped as the rest of the game it will seriously make me wonder what these guys do at work every day.
1 Like The Snow elves are the Falmer, read the lore. The guys that live deep underground and have no eyes and live in th dwarf ruins, they are the Falmer/ Snow Elves. They went to live with the Dwarves at some point and got really pissed at everyone else, so thats why they hate yo. look it up. You find this info out on the Thief guild quest when you have to translate a text written in Falmer, the guy tells you they were snow elves.
