Dragon Age expansion for March?

By Robert Purchese Published 4 January, 2010

Pulled retailer listing reckons so.

EA and BioWare may be readying a hulking Dragon Age expansion for release at retail in March.

The pack, subtitled Awakening, follows a new main character through a new prologue section and 15 hours of new gameplay content. You will need the original Dragon Age: Origins game in order to play.

That's according to online retailers whose revelatory listings have now been pulled, although Eurogamer Czech was ready to snap up the news while others ate mince pies - oh was that just us?

Dragon Age: Awakening will apparently be released for PC on 19th March for around two-thirds the price of the original game. Kotaku also spotted Xbox 360 version but found no mention of the expansion on PS3.

Dragon Age: Origins was released at the end of last year and scored well on PC. Both our PC and console reviews of BioWare's dark fantasy epic can be found on the gamepages below.

    Except on Eurogamer, where it was the latest in a long line of botched PC-RPG reviews.

    1/10th the content 2/3 the price? don't get me wrong i'm excited about this, just thought it a bit strange, dlc pricing is fairly eratic, hope it's 2/3 of the £20 pc version & not 2/3 of £50 ps3 version.

    i doubt a dragon age sequal will use the same characters or even the same region of the world.

    Technical spoiler, yeah it is doubtful you would carry over a character to the sequel as in proper D&D style at the its possible to sacrifice yourself for the greater good.

    The way i read the DLC anouncement tho was that this was another origin story, probably the human peasant option
