Dragon Age: Origins – Awakening announced, dated March 16
Jan/100
We no longer have to rely on Google-translated rumors about retailer listings regarding an upcoming Dragon Age expansion. EA has officially revealed Awakening, the first retail expansion for Dragon Age: Origins, due in stores March 16 for $40 — and it’s up for pre-order on GameStop now. (There’s no word on a downloadable version.)
Awakening takes place after the (many) events of Origins, putting the player in the role of a new Grey Warden Commander, or simply an old, imported character from the main game, taking on new monsters, like the Inferno Golem and the Spectral Dragon, in a new area of the world called Amaranthine. The expansion features an increased level cap, new items, new spells, the ability to “re-spec” attributes, and five new party members with whom to bond.
It seems odd that the DLC delay and the expansion announcements would coincide so closely, though we don’t think it’s a matter of BioWare trying to starve people for Dragon Age content so that the expansion would appear more attractive. We can’t think of any other explanation than “it’s a weird coincidence,” though we’ll attempt to clear it up with BioWare.

Dragon Age: Journeys bonus items transfer to Origins
Oct/090
You may have scoffed at the prospect of a flash-based, 2D version of BioWare’s upcoming RPG epic, Dragon Age: Origins. “A browser game meant to simulate the deep, immersive emotions that arise when one plays roles,” you may have said, mid-scoff. “Who would play something like that?” As it turns out, if you’re looking forward to the full, three-dimensional version of Dragon Age, the answer to your query is simply: You.
A short Q&A on the Dragon Age: Journeys developers’ blog cultivated an enticing bit of info about the browser adventure: if you play through it while logged into your EA account, you can gain access to three items that will transfer over to your Dragon Age: Origins save file on Xbox 360, PS3 or PC. No details were given about the items in question, but we’re imagining they’ll either be used to help you slay dragons, or to help you become a more profound lover.

Dragon Age: Origins’ Brood Mother looks like she’s from House Harkonnen
Oct/090
- Wow, it’s been a long time since we’ve seen Blade
- Man, she really looks like Sting’s uncle
But, we digress. The new villain is gigantic in size, has a mouth full of razor-sharp teeth, and has more teets than the most blood-thirsty cow. It’s, uh, pretty much a really disgusting thing.

GameFly listing indicates Dragon Age: Origins delay
Aug/090
Now, before you panic, just take a moment a listen to us. We’re going to get you through this. Yes, Shacknews is reporting that GameFly has listed Dragon Age: Origins for Nov. 3 and Nov. 19 on the 360 and PS3 respectively, but that’s only two to four weeks after its current October 20 release date. That’s not so bad, is it?
Besides, we’re not even sure this definitely means the game will be late coming to retail — it could just be a GameFly oddity. We’ve put the word out to BioWare for confirmation and we’ll let you know as soon as we hear something. For now, let’s all just take a nice, deep breath. OK?

If you buy the thing from GameStop, you get even more in-game junk: a Feral Wolf Charm, that increases health regeneration, and a Memory Ring, which boosts experience accumulation. The best part of all these virtual goodies? They don’t require head-shaped stands.
