Skyrim-Redguard DLC? Options

[Darkness Eternal]

Back in February rumors were on the rise claiming the next DLC might be called Redguard. Here is the info:

In December, Skyrim players were introduced to the most recent DLC offering, Dragonborn, and now Bethesda may be planning another game-play addition.

Last month, Bethesda’s parent ZeniMax Media Inc. filed to trademark the term Redguard, according to Xbox 360: The Official Xbox Magazine. While there has been no official confirmation that new Skyrim DLC is in development, the trademark ownership applies to “downloadable computer game software offered via the Internet and wireless devices.”

Some may object that this is merely a move to mark territory and prevent other companies from using an Elder Scrolls staple term, but ZeniMax has been known to file for trademarks specifically relating to new DLC releases.

Long before Dawnguard, the first Skyrim DLC, made its debut, ZeniMax claimed legal ownership of the term. This is a pattern that has persisted with Hearthfire and Dragonborn as well, and each filing came with the same “downloadable computer software game” description.

Pete Hines, Bethesda’s vice president of marketing and public relations, refused to comment on the matter. Hines has come to be known as an intermediary between Bethesda and Skyrim players when it comes to DLC launches, and he has actively responded to fan queries via Twitter in the past. This time, however, he had no information to share on a potential Redguard expansion.

“Sorry, I don’t comment on every rumor that comes up,” Hines tweeted Jan. 3.

If this rumor turns out to be true and Redguard is in fact the next Skyrim DLC, players could be returning to the province of Hammerfell. Redguards are known as the most naturally talented warriors in all of Tamriel, descended from a long line of warriors and mystic seers.

According to The Elder Scrolls Wiki, Redguards are more proficient with the use of weaponry than any other race. Of course, it’s too soon to know what a Redguard DLC would entail, but, based on what is known about the race, players could expect a heavy emphasis on combat. Players have dealt with battling blood-thirsty vampires and the first Dragonborn, but the Redguards are legendary experts when it comes to battle.

Now, it would seem there is some measure of truth to this rumor. But I think it may be fake. Check this out:

Given the evidence assembled, it seems plausible. And the 9th of June isn't too far away, either.

I'd personally love a bit of DLC set in Hammerfell; it's a region I've always been very curious about, and I've always said that the next setting for TES VI would be Hammerfell if I got my way. If there's a DLC of the setting, though, I'd be content.

Colour me interested...

[King Coin]

Well... I haven't even ventured into Dragonborn content yet. I'll be set for quite a while if this is true.

After releasing a previous game called "Redguard", I'm surprised that they needed another trademark application. Or maybe that was just about to expire, and they renewed?

Ha ha neither have I.

I wonder if I'm finally gonna get my Hardcore Mode (with on and off toggle).

This has always been my thought too. It seems unlikely that Bethesda would release two titles with the very same name. But you never know.

Considering that Redguard was released to no great acclaim (I'd completely forgotten about it until Ghastley mentioned it, for a start) it might be that they're releasing it under the same title and aren't particularly worried about brand confusion arising on any scale to be worth worry about.

Either that, or it might be a re-release of Redguard with modern-day graphics; that's always a thought. After all, those HD re-releases are all the rage with the kids nowadays!

Here's an update on the Bethesda Blog: Moving to our next adventure.

Sounds like a no.

Taking that as evidence for my theory of a Redguard HD remake. New project is the remake.

Either that, or Fallout 4. I'm happy with that, too, though they know what's good for them they'llbring Obsidian in for design consultancy, considering how massively they managed to upstage Fallout 3 with New Vegas.

All that says is that Skyrim is complete. No more DLC/expansions. Next thing will be a whole new game i.e TES VI, presumably.

No more updates? They just abandoned it?! NO! THATS [censored]!

[Colonel Mustard]

They said they were updating it still. Just not releasing any more DLC.

Walk away before I get....nasty

This is the internet. Threats of physical harm are pointless, you big silly!

Still, I don't get the upset. I'd get it if they upped sticks and completely abandoned TES, but this is so they can work on a new TES project, with a new approach, new features and hopefully combat that's actually good as opposed to just being functional. There's still more TES, but it's new TES, and if you ask me that's a good thing as opposed to just milking Skyrim like a cash cow.
