Skyrim Hearthfire expansion announced, no word on PS3 release

Bethesda Softworks earlier today officially announced the next add-on for The Elder Scroll V: Skyrim. With the Hearthfire add-on, players may purchase land from which they can build their own home from the ground up.

Players will start by building from a small one-roomed cottage and expand to a large fully working compound complete with armory, alchemy laboratory and much more.

Gamers will be allowed to choose their land to build upon, customize the house they own, guard it from the menacing outsiders, and turn it into a home by adopting children.

It has only just been recently confirmed for the Xbox 360 on September 4 but the PlayStation 3 version should be sure to follow, or so we hope.
