Once we have details on when the update will be available in other territories, we’ll share more information. Likewise, we’ll be sending out our Skyrim beta details to applicants early this week.
1.6 release notes after the break…
Want a chance to play Dawnguard early? Following the success of our PC beta updates, we’re excited to announce our Dawnguard Beta for Xbox 360.
Visit DawnguardBeta.ElderScrolls.com to apply. The process should only take a couple minutes, but make sure to fill out all the information accurately. Applicants need a registered account on our official forums and you’ll want to make sure your forum email address is updated.
We will be selecting applicants in about a week. Players accepted into the beta will receive an Xbox LIVE code to redeem Dawnguard. The beta is the full version (complete with Xbox LIVE achievements) and those participating will not have to purchase the content.
Thanks again for your continued support of Skyrim!
That didn’t take long. Hours after we released the official trailer for Dawnguard, Gamespot UK has a 12-minute analysis of the video. Watch it above.
As you can tell from the picture above, it’s just about time for E3. While the Hotel Figueroa gets its TESO makeover, we’ve got plenty for you to catch up on…

More on Dishonored and Skyrim after the break…
We knew you couldn’t wait until E3. Neither could we.

Will you be in LA next week? If so, we encourage you to check out Video Games Live on June 6th at the Nokia Theatre. During the concert, music from Skyrim will be performed by a 110-piece symphony & choir.
If you’ve never seen Video Games Live before, it’s definitely worth checking out. Created by Tommy Tallarico in 2002, its an immersive audio and video concert experience celebrating videogames.
BGS Dev Ryan Sears sent along this YouTube video showing a Skyrim-inspired track created entirely with the Trials Evolution level creator. Looks pretty close to the real thing, don’t you think?
The team at Bethesda Game Studios is excited to announce another new feature making its way into Skyrim… Mounted Combat! Like the recently added Kinect support (360) and new kill cameras, this highly-requested feature that was seen in the Skyrim Game Jam video is arriving for free. In fact, by opting into the latest Steam Beta Update, PC users can check out the feature today. As far as release on other platforms, we’ll let you know when we have more information.
Thanks again to all our fans, we remain committed to supporting the game through our free updates, mod tools, and more. And yes, we’re still working on our first add-on, Dawnguard – some great stuff to show you soon, stay tuned!

This is the coolest wall decoration since Boba Fett sold Han Solo to Jabba the Hutt.
After being used for E3, PAX, and the Skyrim launch party, our 25′ x 8.5′ recreation of Alduin’s wall has made its way into the Bethesda Game Studios’ lounge. And in honor of its creator, the late Adam Adamowicz, we’ve added a plaque in his memory.
To see more pics of the wall, check out the Flickr slideshow below.
Disc be gone! If you haven’t picked up Skyrim on Xbox 360, the game is now available on Xbox LIVE as a Games on Demand title.
