Skyrim DLC: 'Dawnguard' Bethesda Trademark Hints At Elder Scrolls Content

Skyrim has just got a new patch on PC in the 1.5 update (headed to consoles soon) but a new trademark listing from Zenimax Media could hint at content in the long-awaited Skyrim DLC.

The Dawnguard join the Redguard as a Bethesda trademark - the latter was the suffix of a 1998 Elder Scrolls action adventure and also a human faction in Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.

'Dawnguard' relates to "computer game software for use with computers and video game consoles; downloadable computer game software offered via the internet and wireless devices," according to the listing.

Will the Dawnguard hit Skyrim via DLC or get their own spin-off? Or is it for something else altogether - like an Elder Scrolls MMO, iOS game or next-gen title for instance?
