It’s been a long wait for more information on the highly anticipated Skyrim DLC. Back in April, rumours that we were going to find out sooner rather than later were quickly forgotten with the announcement of The Elder Scrolls Online. Fortunately, new details have surfaced in the form of a trailer!

Skyrim: Dawnguard has bite [forgive me!], a vampire bite to be more specific. Players appear to be presented with a choice of playing as either a vampire, or a member of the Dawnguard, a vampire hunting faction.

The vampires seem to be able to take on a rather badass looking form – turning into some kind of winged demon – as well as having the ability to chow down on unfortunate non-player characters (NPCs)

New weapons include a cross bow, there’s a fiery horse and dragons can now swim (eek!)

More details are likely to be revealed at E3 next week.

Dawnguard will arrive on Xbox Live this summer for 1600MSP
