As if there wasn’t enough to do already in Dragon Age: Origins, EA announced the 1st expansion to the game called “Awakening“. With this expansion, players get to explore a brand new area of the world known as Amaranthine, featuring an epic story that will allow players to unravel the secrets of the darkspawn. Along with new enemies to fight, you will also be able to re-spec your character attributes, increased level cap, new spells, abilities, specializations and items, plus five all-new party members.
Dragon Age: Origins – Awakening, BioWare’s next thread in the Dragon Age: Origins tapestry, occurs following the events of Dragon Age: Origins and puts players into the role of a Grey Warden Commander entrusted with rebuilding the order of Grey Wardens. In addition to rebuilding the ranks of the Grey Wardens, you will be tasked with uncovering the mystery of how the darkspawn survive after the slaying of the Archdemon. How players choose to rebuild their order, resolve the conflict with the mysterious “Architect,” and determine the fate of the darkspawn are just some of the many intriguing moral choices that will shape each player’s heroic journey. Players will be able to import their character from Dragon Age: Origins or start out as a new Grey Warden from the neighboring land of Orlais.
“Awakening” will be released March 16, 2010 on the Xbox 360, the PlayStation 3 and PC for $39.99 and will require Dragon Age: Origins to play. Kind of odd that this is announced right after the DLC “Return to Ostagar” was delayed until further notice. It was suppose to be released Jan 5th, 2010.
