Dawnguard, the first major add-on for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim has launched on Xbox 360. Released on Tuesday 26th of June for 1600 Microsoft Points, the content adds additional quests based around the return of the Volkihar vampire lord, Harkon. Players can either side with him, or join the titular order of vampire hunters to take Harkon down.
In addition to the new main quest, there are brand new perks, weapons, shouts and locations, as well as a brand new class of dragon and a character who can alter your appearance. Seems like you’re getting your money’s worth, all in all.
There’s also the small matter of 10 new achievements for the game, though rumour has it that there are a few issues with said cheevs not unlocking properly, to the point where account recovery may be required. The achievements are (meant to be) as follows:
A New You (20)

Awakening (20)
