New ‘Skyrim’ DLC Might Be Called ‘Redguard’

A trademark filing by the folks at Zenimax suggests that the next piece of DLC for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim could be called Redguard.

Although nothing has been confirmed about the downloadable content as of this writing, rumors suggest the next expansion pack could have something to do with the Redguards. This means players might be venturing into another region bordering Skyrim called Hammerfell.

According to Cinema Blend, Bethesda VP Pete Hines addressed the rumor on Twitter when he was asked by a fan if Redguard would be the next adventure awaiting those who have spent countless hours roaming Skyrim’s enormous landscape.

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

Bethesda has already confirmed that more DLC is coming for its hit RPG. However, it remains to be seen if Redguard will be the next journey gamers will make.

According to Game Rant, Zenimax first trademarked Redguard back in March of 2011. The last time the company renewed the trademark was in August of 2012. Since Zenimax has not filed a Statement of Use for the title, the company will have to renew it once again next month.

Bethesda has released three downloadable content packages for use within the world of Skyrim thus far. In addition to last month’s Dragonborn, the company has unleashed Dawnguard and Hearthfire.

Although Xbox 360 owners have been enjoying Dragonborn since early December, fans of the series who own the game on Playstation 3 and PC are currently missing out.

According to Insider Media Group, the company previously stated the Dragonborn DLC would be available on the aforementioned systems at some point in January. However, an exact date has yet to be locked down.

At present, there’s currently no official word when or if Redguard will be available for purchase.
