First PS3 Skyrim DLC, Dragonborn, Lands Today

Skyrim: Dragonborn DLC

The wait is over! For the next three weeks, we’ll be releasing a new Skyrim add-on each week on PSN. This week, with Dragonborn, you’ll journey beyond Skyrim to Solstheim, an island off the coast of Morrowind. Use all your abilities and skills honed in Skyrim to save the island from a mysterious power that threatens to destroy Solstheim’s inhabitants.

Beyond Dragonborn’s main quest, the content is packed with hours of new areas to explore complete with new characters, new towns, new dungeons and plenty of new side quests to complete. And for elite players that have attained Level 81 status, you’ll have a chance to square off with the game’s fiercest adversary, The Ebony Warrior.

For more details on Dragonborn, available for 50% off ($9.99) during launch week only, read our list of features below:

  • Explore Beyond Skyrim – Leave the province of Skyrim and travel to the coastal island of Solstheim. Encounter the Dark Elven settlers of Raven Rock and the native Skaal, as you unravel the mystery of a Dragonborn’s return.
  • Become the Ultimate Dragonborn – Harness the power of the Voice as you face off against the first Dragonborn. Wield new shouts and spells including Dragon Aspect – allowing you to summon the inner power of a dragon to deliver colossal blows and strengthen other shouts.
  • New Powers – Discover dark powers as you journey into a new Daedric realm. Collect books of forbidden knowledge and choose new paths for your skills and abilities.
  • New dungeons, creatures, weapons, and more – Suit up in Bonemold and Chitin armors and wield Stalhrim weapons as you navigate through a myriad of dungeons. Battle formidable foes like Ash Spawn, Rieklings, and more.

Next week we’ll be back with information on next Tuesday’s release, Hearthfire.

  • Can’t wait for the DLC!

  • For people who really want to buy this DLC, I have one tip

    Wait for feedback before buying it (look at Skyrim and NeoGAF forums)

    Seriously, the chances of this DLC been unplayable are HUGE, given Bethesda track record (Fallout 3 DLCs says hi).

  • Where is Dawnguard? Bethesda, you are too incompetent.

  • @ FellOpenian

    Good comment (and very nice middle english usename).

    Do you, or does anyone know how good or bad the dlc affect the skyrim experience on PC? I have an Alienware Aurora R4 if that is going to run the game any better or worse, but your comment on the NV dlc making an already buggy experience on ps3 worse(hence my being branded all those names i mentioned in my earlier comment when questioning probable problems on the then forthcoming Skyrim on Bethesda’s forums by their mod, publically) makes me want to throw in the towel with skyrim pn ps3 and get the pc version… Discuss?

  • never had ps3 problems on this game, but of course the pc is the best version you dope

  • I love almost every game Bethesda releases and I always buy them within a day or two of their release. That said, I think there definitely should be a difference between what PS3 and Xbox users are getting simply because of the RIDICULOUS amount of time PS3 users have been waiting for this. I honestly can’t believe that it has taken them this long to figure this out. In my opinion, these 3 DLC packs should AT LEAST be free for each of their first week of release. After that, charge however much you want. But as for myself, being a HUGE Elder Scrolls fan and PlayStation enthusiast, I have to say this whole experience is extremely disappointing. I will continue to purchase games from Bethesda and PlayStation but I have to be completely honest and say that I’m not being given very many reasons to do so. Call it loyalty or whatever you want. It’d be nice to get a response of some kind from someone that actually matters at Sony & Bethesda. I think they at least owe us that much.

    Anyway, it is now high noon here in Phoenix, AZ and I have yet to see any Skyrim DLC on the PlayStation Store…

  • Hoping for an early store update today :)

  • @46, procion, a little disjointed, but your thesis is basically correct. I felt terrible when I bought my Star Wars Xbox just to play Skyrim with Kinect. But I love Skyrim and the voice command is awesome. Many is the night when I was yelling “unrelenting force!” and “clear skies!”. Since I’m not into shooters, there are no games for me on the X. I did enjoy Fable 2 but otherwise, nothing. The PS3 has the best range of exclusive games and that is why I’ll buy the PS4.

  • @53

    Dragonborn today.

    Hearthfire next week.

    Dawnguard the week after that.

  • Hates waiting till the end of the day for the store to update! You think a mega giant like Sony would find a way to update all regions in the morning ,not at the end of the day . Oh well. Ive waited this long. Whats another 6 hours or so!?

  • Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on!

  • psn cant you commet and tell us what time it will be out for central pacific eastern time

  • @ procion

    PC version+Mods is definitely the best version.

  • Psn, everyone is complaining about it not being out, could you possibly post a time slot of which it may be out? Thanks!

  • I’ve fully completed skyrim 5 months after the release and been waiting patiantly for the next DLC. I do have the PC version. But I perfer the dual shock 3 over a keyboard anyday

  • so far playing Dovahkiin track until it comes on

  • Blew the dust off my Skyrim case yesterday and patched. Really excited to finally play the dlc. Now if time would just move a little faster. Thinking about going to watch a pot of water.

  • At what time is the skyrim dlc available its 2:31 est.. hurry up!!!!! lol….

  • So it’s almost 3 o clock and I’m still waiting. THIS IS CUTTING INTO MY DRAGONBORN TIME.

  • mixedkid and a bunch of other bashing Bethesda being whiney little spoiled babies need to get over yourselves and grow up. Time to be big-boy-gamers instead of kids.

    You people are so touched in the head and brainwashed by the internet you just repeat any propaganda you read, you jump to conclusions and do absolutely no fact finding of your own. You’re just bashing Bethesda because the internet told you you should. Rediculous.

    Skyrim runs perfectly on PS3 now. And it pretty much ran perfectly at launch. It became more broken as they were trying to fix things that weren’t broken to begin with. Also, you tools are pretending the game was perfect or something on 360. I own both and the 360 version was worse when it comes to bugs and glitches, the only specific PS3 problems we the lag over time (fixed) and the water freeze (not sure if fixed, I won’t go in lol). And Oblivion was better on PS3 aside from no trophies. So 50% off makes good.

    IDC about Hearthfire, but Dawnguard and Dragonborn for $20 is pretty good.

  • THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! I almost lost faith in Bethesda and Skyrim, but with this awesome news…. just take my money!

  • Umm, so is anyone else opening the store every five minutes in anticipation or am I alone in that.

  • Just sittin’ here burnin’ my horsey to level up destruction while Malukah’s Dragonborn Comes(10 hour version) plays in the backround.

  • Maybe someone can explain to me why dlc is always released during the afternoon when games are released at midnight, even some day one digital titles. Especially with this dlc being 8 months late.

  • so there was just two more blog updates and one mentions the psn update…? is the skyrim dlc availiable now???

  • Never seen a day one digital release at midnight. I mean I knew you could buy a code from a retailer, but never saw the game itself available. Though I am limited in my day one buys.

  • Why is everyone criticizing Bethesda for trying to give us the best experience possible while playing Skyrim. At least they actually had the will to release a DLC for us, so why don’t we support them.

  • @spok115

    As soon as the store updates, yes.

  • @77

    Cuz haters gonna hate

  • I keep checking the store and the internet like every few minutes!!! gah! Hurry PSN!!! I might just die of anticipation!

  • I’ve waited what seems like an eternity, so I can wait a little longer.

  • Sony should just come out and say “From now on PS Store updates are Wednsdays at mid-night.”. So then everyone will be happy when the store updates Tuesday evenings…..well ahead of schedule.
