‘Hearthfire’ Expansion Announced for Skyrim

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim may have been 2011’s biggest game, but that doesn’t mean fans aren’t still begging for additional content. Just a few moments ago, developer Bethesda Software satisfied the DLC cravings of millions of RPG enthusiasts by announcing the game’s second expansion pack, “Hearthfire.”

Have you always wanted to leave a mark on the land of Skyrim? “Hearthfire” will allow gamers to design and maintain buildings by purchasing land and transforming materials into a home. Sure, killing dragons and completing quests can be a hoot, but wouldn’t you just rather design the interior of your home and raise a family?

You won’t have to wait long for “Hearthfire,” as this bit of DLC will be hitting XBLA next week on September 4.

Man, that came out of nowhere. I know you just heard about it, but will you be picking up Skyrim’s second expansion next week? Let us know either in the comments or our forums.
