14 DAY TRIAL // The next DLC for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim might be called Hearthfire, at least according to yet another trademark filed by Bethesda’s parent company, Zenimax, and it might include, judging by recent reports, zombies.
Skyrim delivered a massive experience last year when it was released on the PC, PS3, and Xbox 360. The game was recently enhanced with the launch of Dawnguard, the first expansion for the fantasy RPG.
Now, reports about the game’s next big add-on have started floating around the web once more, as after a rumor from many months ago, a new trademark has been filed by Zenimax with the U.S. Patent Office for the word “Hearthfire.”
According to VentureBeat, Hearthfire is the name for the month of September in The Elder Scrolls universe and is usually marked by various rituals of Necromancers during the Tales and Tallows holiday.
As such, fans of the series expect the DLC to add new adventures surrounding Necromancers and Zombies.
As of yet, Bethesda has declined to comment on the trademark filing.
