New Details Emerge On The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Dragonborn Expansion

Get ready, Skyrim fans, because you’re getting some great news on the forthcoming expansion to your game.  Prepare for the Dragonborn!

First announced a little while back for Xbox 360, Dragonborm has you leaving the solace of Skyrim and traveling to the coastal island of Solstheim, where you’ll encounter a bounty of towns, dungeons and quests.  You’ll run across several new items in the game, including the Dark Elven settlers of Raven Rock and the native Skaal.

In addition, you’ll learn even more powerful spells over the course of your journey, including Dragon Aspect, which lets you face off against the Dragonborn with ease.  You’ll also come upon some dark powers while you move into the Daedric realm, collecting books of forbidden knowledge.  You won’t find these at a library.

Enemies in the game include the Ash Spawn, as well as the Rieklings and more.  And you’ll have access to Bonemold and Chitin armor, as well as Stalhrim weaponry.

The expansion hits the Xbox 360 on December 4th, and will be 1600 Microsoft points.  No word yet on a PS3 release, but Bethesda is working on it, we believe.
