Skyrim's Dawnguard DLC Is Nowhere To Be Seen On The PC Or PS3

DawnguardGargoyle Skyrims Dawnguard DLC Is Nowhere To Be Seen On The PC Or PS3

The Dawnguard DLC for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim released a month ago on the Xbox 360, and whilst it received a middling reception in our review it has nonetheless had both PS3 and PC players eagerly awaiting its release. The 30 day exclusive has now elapsed, and not only is there no DLC to be found for either platform but the only announcement made about it is far from promising.

Bethesda’s VP of PR and Marketing Peter Hines Tweeted today that:

“We [Bethesda] have not announced Dawnguard for any other platform, nor given a timeline for any such news. If we have news, I promise I’d tell you.”

The month of silence had been presumed to be due to the fact that there was nothing surprising that needed to be announced. The exclusivity deal with Microsoft was only for 30 days, and this usually means that the other platforms will receive the content almost immediately thereafter. Without so much as a timeline, it appears that there will be a significant amount of waiting and blood letting before this DLC expands beyond the Xbox.

PC players have a near endless amount of mods to occupy their time; PS3 players do not. You never know what a new day will bring, but Dawnguard doesn’t seem to be on the horizon for a significant amount of Skyrim‘s players.

Seriously Bethesda? Get it together. At least show us you’re doing something about it, because right now you just seem lazy.

  We don’t even have the 1.6 patch yet.

    You’ll get patch 1.7 at some point which contains patch 1.6. Patch 1.7 is required for Dawnguard, so when it comes out Dawnguard will probably be released soon after.

There’s no excuse for this crappy customer service.

well i think if dawnguard doesn’t come out for other platforms in a timely fasion, i won’t be buying anymore bethesda products period…there is no point in supporting a company that comprimises its fan base for short term gains (financially speaking). support and reliability is part of the equation when it comes to defining the quality of any product and bethesda hasn’t been up to par with other companies in that regard. I like skyrim but its buggy and i can’t even play it with friends and having no new content is one thing, but exclusive content just leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

I’m done buying Bethesda games. I don’t mind the delay, but some kind of news would have been the least they could do.

i bet they’re adding more to the pc/ps3, cause they can handle more than the x360

They shoulda never given you niggas money.

  Its ‘gave’, not ‘given’.
  
  Jokes aside, i do wish that Bethesda had given fans more info as to what’s going on. They wanna make a small mint catering to Microsoft’s crappy console? Fine, just say so upfront and at least give a realistic guess as to when PC and PS3 players will get the content.
  
  This isn’t the days before the internet when game devs could be close-mouthed on info and we the customers were expected to just deal with it. Good news or bad, Bethesda should have had a statement ready the instant any exclusivity deal they had with Microsoft had expired.

Bethesda can keep this piece of crap, I’m so fed up with being treated like a second-class customer. Like I didn’t pay the same amount of money for the game that the x-box people did. I’m not waisting another dime on a company that doesn’t want my business.

Bethesda, get your acts together, ive been waiting for dawn guard for ages, and so has every PC and PS player who owns skyrim, where in gods earth is it?
