Update: Bethesda has announced that the first DLC is in fact named Dawnguard ("known" for some time) and that more information will be revealed at E3. Dawnguard and the second DLC will be exclusive to the Xbox 360 for 30 days.

Bethesda forum user Raestloz seems to have found evidence of the upcoming first Skyrim DLC. While looking through the 1.5.26 patch files, he found a number of additions explicitly named with "DLC01." Another user, Karellan, has listed out the individual files:

Snow Elves have been mentioned in earlier games (in Morrowind's Bloodmoon expansion, for example) and are now known to be the Falmer. The book Fall of the Snow Prince also has some information that may be relevant.

Meanwhile, Pete Hines recently tweeted that additional Skyrim DLC info might come "next week" (maybe). Let the speculation begin.

    Ok, I tried my hands at a few mods over the past few months, and I can assure people that these animation were here long before this "latest patch". As I even noticed these crossbow animations and snow elf animations atleast 2/3 months ago if not longer, by simply going into the creation kit looking going to the actors pick a random one, right-click -> preview and look in the animations list, even with the default skyrim.esm without the updates they are there. Theres even a sneak crossbow animation thats been left out in that list.

    On release day for the DLC (or announcement day) we should all write Beth letters saying we are deeply disappointed in their decision to sign an unethical deal with Microsoft to delay the content by a month.
