  • Next Skyrim DLC to be 'Redguard'? Trademark Rears its Head Again

    More DLC for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is most definitely on its way, that much we know for sure. The shape that DLC will take however is up for speculation, but with ZeniMax's (Bethesda's parent company) repeated extension of the 'Redguard' trademark, there's a possibility that the next add-on could be heading to south-western border of Hammerfell, where the formidable Redguard warriors hail from.

    A Statement of Use has yet to be filed for the trademark in question, but given the fact that ZeniMax has extended the trademark - first filed in March 2011 - most recently in August 2012, it's entirely feasible that Redguard could be the next chunk of Skyrim DLC, unless of course it's a full-blown Elder Scrolls title in its own right. The trademark expires in February 2013 and will require extension once again before that time if ZeniMax wishes to retain it.

    Third-person spin-off, The Elder Scrolls: Redguard took the series to Hammerfell back in 1998, but a return to the region could be interesting given the city of Dragonstar situated on the border, split between the nations of Skyrim and Hammerfell. There's certainly potential for a Skyrim expansion there...

    Until something is officially announced however, this is salty territory once again.
