Skyrim's Dawnguard DLC Release Delayed On PS3

Bethesda Softworks released the PC version of Skyrim's Dawnguard DLC on August 2, 2012, but there was no sign or mention of the PlayStation 3 content at the time and now we know why. It just isn't performing up to snuff, according to a new post on the Bethesda Blog.

As a statement posted to the publisher's website notes, "We are not satisfied yet with Dawnguard's performance on the PS3. We would like for every to have a chance to play Dawnguard, but we aren't going to release it for PS3 knowing that some people's experience in Skyrim will be worse."

"We do everything we can to have our content available to all; from our free updates, to user mods, to paid DLC. We’re as disappointed as our fans when that isn’t the case, but we’ll continue to push for that reality."

I think we can all agree that it's better to delay the release of potentially sub-par content rather than shove it out the door and fix it through updates. Unfortunately, Bethesda makes no mention in its statement of when the DLC might be coming.
