Forums - Sony Discussion - Sony working with Bethesda to save Skyrim Dawnguard DLC for PS3

Tagged games:

The ongoing saga over the fate of Skyrim: Dawnguard for the PS3 is back in the news. Sony announced they are dispatching a team to assist the game’s developer, Bethesda Softworks, with the troubled expansion for the hugely popular Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim game. The release of Dawnguard DLC (down-loadable content) for the PS3 has been plagued with development issues, and there were fears it might be cancelled altogether.

Dawnguard was released for the Xbox 360 over a month ago and more recently for the PC. Owners of the PlayStation 3 continue to wait impatiently for more down-loadable content, while users of the Xbox 360 celebrated last week’s release of the new Hearthfire expansion for Skyrim. Meanwhile, no date for the release of Dawnguard or Hearthfire is available for unhappy PlayStation fans.

Sony VP Adam Boyes told reporters his company would be sending some of its top PS3 support specialists to work hand in hand with the Bethesda development team. Boyes said:

“Everyone involved is trying their best to get this stuff working. We work with all of our partners to try and solve their problems. We have a big, broad dev support team that works closely with Bethesda—and with all of our partners—to work with them to solve any sort of issues they have along the way. Of course, I always want everything to work always for everyone. I can’t promise any kind of resolution or timeline but can say that everyone involved is trying their best to get this stuff working.”

No one at Bethesda or Sony is giving any hint of what may be causing the problems for the PlayStation 3. Some industry insiders speculate the same lag bug that bedeviled the initial release of Skyrim may have struck again, but the developers are not responding to questions. Bethseda will only say that they are adamant that Dawnguard for the PS3 will not be released until all the performance issues have been worked out. In the interim, one can only wonder how many more PS3 owners may be thinking about an Xbox 360 for Christmas.

At this point I wonder if anyone still cares. But if you do, here's an article about it.



I don't think anyone cares much anymore. The game sold well on it's own, despite bugs. But if Dawnguard does release, I can't wait to see the bugs.

Sigh, I think every PS3 owner should just hope they make a game of the year version and buy that.Will be buying the game of the year addition for 360 for sure if it comes out because it is probably not that far off if it happens.



Seems to me like Bethesda are blaming sony for their own incompetence. This pretty much solidifies my stance of not geting an Elder Scrolls game again - Oblivion was meh and Bethesda's issues with Skyrim on the ps3 mean Im not even going to bother trying.

How did you get Bethesda blaming Sony, from the Sony's VP saying that they have their best support team working with Bethesda to fix the problems? If anything it shows that whatever the problem is even Sony's best people can't fix it yet, it must be a hell of a problem.

I wasnyt referring to this article per se. More to previous comments I read somewhere that Bethesda blamed sony for the problem.

The shouldn't have release the ps3 version with the problems it has, they should have delayed it to find and fix the problems, but they didn't. Its probably the games problem rather then the DLC.



I care I desperately want this skyrim is one of my fab games
