According to the official synopsis from Bethesda, Dragonborn takes players "to the island of Solstheim. Encounter new towns, dungeons, and quests, as you traverse the ash wastes and glacial valleys of this new land. Become more powerful with shouts that bend the will of your enemies and even tame dragons. Your fate, and the fate of Solstheim, hangs in the balance as you face off against your deadliest adversary - the first Dragonborn."
Dragonborn was well reviewed when it first debuted on Xbox 360. Eurogamer said of it, "With discoveries around every corner, Dragonborn just gave Skyrim fans the perfect excuse to lose themselves in the wild for another winter." Similarly, VentureBeat called the add-on a pint-sized Morrowind and says, "Dragonborn is a creepy descent into madness set in a mini Morrowind that isn't quite as epic as Dawnguard, but it compensates for that with a wealth of new items, shouts, and spells."
Technically, Dragonborn comes out only one week behind schedule. The PC version of Dragonborn was released on Febuary 5th. The Xbox 360 version, a timed exclusive, launched December 4th. The other two DLC packs, on the other hand, are quite late: Dawnguard, the first piece of Skyrim DLC was released on PC August 2nd. Hearthfire was released on PC October 5th.
