Hearthfire for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim revealed

As was sorta leaked some time ago, the very next piece of DLC for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is coming soon to the Xbox 360, and will be called Hearthfire. It’s not quite what we expected though…

The add-on will hit Xbox Live for 400 Microsoft Points and will allow Skyrim players to buy land for the purpose of building and customizing a home. You will need to apparently defend your new home, and you’ll also be able to adopt children.

Check out the trailer showing off Heathfire below.

There’s no word on when/if Hearthfire will come to the PS3 and PC.

We?re pleased to announce Hearthfire, the next official game add-on for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. As demonstrated in this just-released video, Hearthfire allows you to purchase land and build your own home from the ground up – from a simple one-room cottage to a sprawling compound complete with armory, alchemy laboratory, and more. Choose your land, customize your house, guard it from unwanted visitors, and turn your house into a home by adopting children.

Hearthfire will be available for download for 400 Microsoft Points on Xbox LIVE on September 4. For more information on The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim or Hearthfire please visit www.elderscrolls.com
