Hearthfire (Updated)

Update (2/19): We’re happy to announce that Dawnguard, Hearthfire, and Dragonborn will be releasing in FIGS territories next Tuesday, February 27th.

Update (2/4): We now have European release dates for the English versions of Dragonborn, Hearthfire, and Dawnguard. They are:

Dragonborn releases Wednesday, February 13
- Regular Price: £12.99, € 16.99, AUS $24.95; First Week Pricing: £6.49, € 7.99, AUS $11.75
Hearthfire releases Wednesday, February 20
- Regular Price: £3.99, € 4.99, AUS $7.35; First Week Pricing: £1.99, € 2.49, AUS $3.65
Dawnguard releases Wednesday, February 27
- Regular Price: £12.99, € 16.99, AUS $24.95; First Week Pricing: £6.49, € 7.99, AUS $11.75

For folks with the French, Italian, German, or Spanish release of the game, we continue to work with Sony to finalize these dates. All three titles are with Sony certification and we anticipate their release by the end of the month. We will confirm dates as soon as we can.

Original Post: Let the official countdown to Dragonborn, Dawnguard, and Hearthfire on PS3 begin.

This week Dragonborn, Dawnguard, Hearthfire, and the 1.8 title update have all cleared certification with SCEA. As we speak, we’re working with Sony Europe to finalize certification for other territories.

What does this mean? It means we now have the official release dates for Skyrim add on content in North America. They are:

Dragonborn releases Tuesday, February, 12
Hearthfire releases Tuesday, February, 19
Dawnguard releases Tuesday, February, 26

Don’t forget: all three add-ons will be marked down to 50% during their first week of release. As soon as we have final dates for Europe, we will post an update here. Stay tuned.

    - jethelred said on Tuesday, February 12, 2013 at 6:54 pm:
      
      Are you listening? PSN doesn’t list their stuff until LATE in the day. NOTHING has been added to the store yet.
diarbkiller said on Tuesday, February 12, 2013 at 3:23 pm:

it’s even funny how usually psn says something about new releases, but was said nothing about any of the dlc’s
- matt91269 said on Tuesday, February 12, 2013 at 3:55 pm:

- Rolina said on Tuesday, February 12, 2013 at 4:56 pm:
  
  We’re waiting on Sony to update their store. This isn’t something Bathesda can do something about, just be patient.
  - matt91269 said on Tuesday, February 12, 2013 at 5:49 pm:
    
    do you know when they update their store
    - jethelred said on Tuesday, February 12, 2013 at 6:55 pm:
      
      Usually between 4 and 9 pm EST. I’ve gotten in the habit of just waiting until Wednesday morning.

- jethelred said on Tuesday, February 12, 2013 at 6:56 pm:
  
  PSN has added NOTHING to the store yet today. It’s not just Skyrim that’s missing. When they do their update, you’ll know it, because dozens of things will be added.
diarbkiller said on Tuesday, February 12, 2013 at 5:50 pm:

- jethelred said on Tuesday, February 12, 2013 at 6:57 pm:
  
  THEY don’t. SONY does.
Colocon1 said on Tuesday, February 12, 2013 at 6:07 pm:

reluctantdeath said on Tuesday, February 12, 2013 at 6:36 pm:

this all just too frustrating im just gunna call it a day and look 4 it tommaro dont see it coming very soon and waiting 4 it is annoying
jethelred said on Tuesday, February 12, 2013 at 7:00 pm:

PSN Store is starting to display partial listings for some new content for other titles. (7PM EST) You may see the store become unavailable sometime within the next hour, but after that we should all have access to Dragonborn.
reluctantdeath said on Tuesday, February 12, 2013 at 7:07 pm:

ok its 7;05 here est and it is now available took them long enouph eh lol
- jethelred said on Tuesday, February 12, 2013 at 7:12 pm:
  
  This is the normal update time for Sony.
jethelred said on Tuesday, February 12, 2013 at 7:12 pm:

- robin said on Wednesday, February 13, 2013 at 3:47 am:
  
  sorry i mean at what time is sony going to release it?
  - Cd_BE said on Wednesday, February 13, 2013 at 3:51 am:
    
    I thought that the European PSN store was updated every thursday. But It could be only The Benelux store.
    
    Still nothing here….
    - robin said on Wednesday, February 13, 2013 at 4:49 am:
      
      i just saw on twitter that the store update will be around 3 GMT this wednesday.
      
      so that will be around 4 o’clock in the netherlands
Alfred said on Wednesday, February 13, 2013 at 9:06 am:

- devon kirk said on Wednesday, February 13, 2013 at 11:27 pm:
  
  i do it is awesome get it now and i recommend you use heavy armor because there is like 3 sets of light and you get get them very quickly
Rolina said on Sunday, February 17, 2013 at 1:33 am:

Am I the only one wanting to smack people for claiming “Western Standard Time”? I main… Pacific, Mountain, Central, Eastern – those are the four timezones in the Continental US. Western Standard Time is an Australian time zone… And this article covers the US release.
- Rolina said on Sunday, February 17, 2013 at 1:34 am:
  
  To be specific, I’m referring to the people complaining about the PSN update in the US and trying to blame it on Bathesda.
robin said on Sunday, February 17, 2013 at 9:17 am:

can you download and install all the 3 dlc’s without problems like game freezing?
matt91269 said on Monday, February 18, 2013 at 2:14 am:

Does anybody know the prices for all the dlc?
Colocon1 said on Monday, February 18, 2013 at 4:51 am:

Like 3.99 for hearthfire!
- Luke said on Monday, February 18, 2013 at 2:04 pm:
  
  2.50 actually for the first week
Colocon1 said on Monday, February 18, 2013 at 4:56 am:

And 9.99 for dawnguard
- matt91269 said on Monday, February 18, 2013 at 6:34 pm:
  
  Thank you

  - BC Guy said on Tuesday, February 19, 2013 at 9:47 pm:

Derek said on Tuesday, February 19, 2013 at 7:21 pm:

Hopefully soon, I don’t want to have to wait much longer than I did for Dragonborn, which wasn’t that long. Hopefully any second now
Kiwi said on Tuesday, February 19, 2013 at 8:07 pm:

  i have both Dragonborn and Hearthfire so far and have not experienced any lag or freezing so i would say all 3 should work fine, plus they are fun to play so go download them
Silence Prince said on Sunday, February 24, 2013 at 4:58 am:

NikoliBearcrusher said on Tuesday, February 26, 2013 at 3:18 am:

“Dawnguard releases Wednesday, February 27″

“Dawnguard releases Tuesday, February, 26″

“Tuesday, February 27th.”
Lol uhh, wat
Inuship said on Tuesday, February 26, 2013 at 1:45 pm:

thanks Bethesda Dragon Born was awesome however the dragon riding was a bit unsatisfying but still cool perhaps if you release a patch that allows for full control it would be better however i understand that due to the city’s being in separate cells this can lead to becoming stuck inside the walls. and Hearth Fire was actually a lot better than i expected, it was cheap served its purpose had multiple wing combinations and three houses so you can have all the wings. however i could see the saber-cat tooth becoming a slight problem. for me at least saber-cats are rare and it seems no merchant sells their teeth so if you can add those to shops that would be great although hunting for cats all day just to mount their heads on my wall was still fun. now i just have to wait for Dawn Guard which comes out today and kill me some vampires
- Inuship said on Tuesday, February 26, 2013 at 10:06 pm:
  
  it is finally time to kill some vampires my PS3 friends or i guess join them ill probly do that second
afroninja said on Tuesday, February 26, 2013 at 7:52 pm:

i am getting very very ery frustrated i can become a vampire because every tim i get bitten it makes me restart in the castle
