Skyrim ‘Dawnguard’ DLC announced, coming first to Xbox 360

As we expected, Bethesda has announced Dawnguard, the first DLC drop for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

Bethesda didn't announce any specific content details, instead choosing to wait until E3 to share more details.  Skyrim Dawnguard will be released exclusively on Xbox 360 before it becomes available on any other platforms like PS3 or PC.

E3 is set to take place this June 5 through 7.  Dawnguard is expected to release in this summer.

While Bethesda refrained from sharing any specific details, a fan might have discovered some potential content while looking through recent Skyrim patch files.  He uncovered files that suggest Snow Elves, a Snow Prince, crossbows, and new vampire feeding animations will be present in the Dawnguard update.

Meanwhile, the Xbox 360 version of Skyrim got another exclusive update.  Today, Skyrim Kinect went live introducing over 200 voice commands exclusively for the Kinect on Xbox 360.
