Earlier today on Skyrim’s official website, the game was listed as coming to PS4 and Xbox One, see screengrab below.

Well according to Bethesda, it was a bug that caused PS4 and Xbox One to be listed as platforms the 2011 game is coming to.

“We have been working on the CMS that runs our sites,” Bethesda marketing exec Pete Hines said. “A bug caused platforms that don’t exist to show up for some games. Sorry for confusion.”

Still, that doesn’t mean that the game isn’t being remastered for a next-gen release. It simply means Bethesda screwed up and had to come up with an excuse. Said excuse being it was a glitch that caused it to show up so early —

I know, I know. I’m talking nonsense, but we shall see.

Bethesda says the game will come to “Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC on June 4th for $59.99 (European territories will see its release on June 7th), this package includes the most up-to-date version of the original game,as well as the game’s three add-ons: Dawnguard, Hearthfire, and Dragoborn.”

Not much was revealed, but expect the legendary collection to come ready with all of Skyrim’s DLC and other unknown offerings.

NEW FEATURES

• Legendary difficulty setting

The info was made available by Amazon.de, which also pinned the game down for a December 7th release in Germany, Austria and Switzerland – it’s unclear if the U.S. will be given the same release date.

According to Bethesda: “Hearthfire allows you to purchase land and build your own home from the ground up – from a simple one-room cottage to a sprawling compound complete with armory, alchemy laboratory, and more. Choose your land, customize your house, guard it from unwanted visitors, and turn your house into a home by adopting children.”

PS3 might not see Hearthfire.

Earlier in the month, we provided an update on Dawnguard’s status for PS3.

“It’s been a few weeks, and we wanted to make sure everyone knows where we’re at with Dawnguard. Skyrim is a massive and dynamic game that requires a lot of resources, and things get much more complex when you’re talking about sizable content like Dawnguard. We have tried a number of things, but none of them solve the issue enough to make Dawnguard good for everyone. The PS3 is a powerful system, and we’re working hard to deliver the content you guys want. Dawnguard is obviously not the only DLC we’ve been working on either, so the issues of adding content get even more complicated. This is not a problem we’re positive we can solve, but we are working together with Sony to try to bring you this content.

“We wish we had a more definitive answer right now. We understand the frustration when the same content is not available on all platforms. When we have an update, we will certainly let you know. We deeply appreciate all the time and support you have given us, and we’ll keep doing our best to return that.”

If the DLC never comes out, Bethesda seriously needs to apologize to the owners of the PS3 version of Skyrim. The game has been unplayable to many, due to a vast number of glitches, and even until recently, some couldn’t finish main quests due to bugs or had the game crash all the time. Now, with a new DLC pack coming out for the Xbox 360 in a few days, and Dawnguard still not being “at a satisfactory level” for Bethesda to release, I think it is safe to assume the developer needs to acknowledge how they dropped their fans, or how they are not capable of developing for the Playstation 3, as most of the issues present on Skyrim were present on Fallout 3 and New Vegas, and while the latter was not developed by Bethesda itself, it was published, and thus, had to be quality-checked by them.

Also leaked was a description of the upcoming expansion:

Hearthfire™, the next official game-add on for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim®, has arrived. For the first time in the Elder Scrolls universe, purchase land and build your own home from the ground up – from a simple one-room cottage to a sprawling compound complete with armory, alchemy laboratory, trophy room, and more! With Hearthfire, the possibilities of what you can build are endless.”

Aside from home-building being a feature, Hearthfire’s story may focus on necromancy and spiritual possession. The Unofficial Elder Scrolls Pages describes Hearth Fire as the name of a month in the Tamriel calender. Upon first glance this is of little importance, however, one of the holidays is Tales and Tallows which occurs the 3rd of the month.

From the Unofficial Elder Scrolls Pages:

No other holiday divides the people of Tamriel like the 3rd of Hearth Fire. A few of the oldest, more superstitious men and women do not speak all day long for fear that the evil spirits of the dead will enter their bodies. Most citizens enjoy the holiday, calling it Tales and Tallows, but even the most lighthearted avoid dark streets, for everyone knows the dead do walk tonight. Only the Mages Guild completely thrives on this day. In celebration of the oldest magical science, necromancy, all magical items are half price today.”

In regards to the home building features, I am happy that they’re adding this feature, but since this already exists in the form of mods, I hope they have much more planned. As for Tales and Tallows, with Halloween steadily approaching it would be a perfect time to have a quest-line focused on necromancy.

Thoughts on the rumors? Comment below!

That’s according to a trademark filed by Bethesda, as revealed by its description: “Computer game software for use with computers and video game consoles; downloadable computer game software offered via the internet and wireless devices.”

Don’t bother clicking the description link, though, as Bethesda’s already expired it because the firm didn’t expect a leak so early. Nonetheless, Hearthfire is being forged.

Did you purchased Dawnguard?

New changes include:

– General memory and stability optimizations
– Fixed crash related to new water shaders
– Fixed rare crash related to dragon landings
– Using vampiric grip and swimming no longer prevents swimming animation from playing afterwards

The changes will be the same on PS3 and Xbox 360. Also, when the update hits Xbox 360, it’ll include the following fixes for Kinect:

– Fixed logic error with loading screens from add-ons (Xbox 360)

– Improved recognition with Kinect voice commands (Xbox 360)

– Kinect-enabled dragon language shouts for French, German, Italian and Spanish work properly (Xbox 360)

- Fixed issue with Dawnguard Kinect-enabled dragon shouts for French, German, Italian and Spanish (Xbox 360)

“We have not announced Dawnguard for any other platform, nor given a timeline for any such news. If we have news, I promise I’d tell you,” Bethesda’s marketing head, Pete Hines said through twitter.

The consensus was once one month had past, the exclusivity to Xbox 360 would be over, hence a PS3/PC release, but nothing’s manifested and Bethesda is blocked from talking about it because of contract stipulations.

PS3 owners in the meantime will have to make do with patch 1.7 which adds optimization for memory and stability, and patch 1.06 content to PS3. It also means PS3 gamers will finally get features like mounted combat.

This means PlayStation 3 gamers who own Skyrim will finally get features like mounted combat.

Bethesda hasn’t announced a release date for the final version of patch 1.07, but has asked PC fans to join the beta and share feedback.

PC gamers can now try it out in Steam beta. Bethesda hasn’t pinned a solid release date.

The DLC is called Dawnguard, which Bethesda trademarked earlier this year, and could refer to a museum located in the city of Dawnstar that is dedicated to the “Order of the Mythic Dawn.”

More info will be released at E3.
