So Dragon Age: Origins' "Return to Ostagar" DLC is delayed. Heartbreaking, yes, but here's some uplifting news in the mean time. That rumored "Awakening" expansion apparently set to hit stores in March? Totally real, and EA announced it today.
"For centuries, the Grey Wardens -- the ancient order of guardians, sworn to unite and defend the lands -- have been battling the darkspawn forces. Legend spoke that slaying the Archdemon would have put an end to the darkspawn threat for centuries to come, but somehow they remain. You are the Grey Warden Commander and have been entrusted with the duty of rebuilding the order of Grey Wardens and uncovering the secrets of the darkspawn and how they managed to remain.
How you choose to rebuild your order, how you resolve the conflict with "The Architect", and how you determine the fate of the darkspawn will be but some of the many complex choices that await and shape your journey as you venture to the new land of Amaranthine."
All-new areas, moral choices, customization options (additional spells, abilities, specializations, and items), and even unseen enemies to slaughter are all here. Awakening will even let you start as a new character, if you wish to not import your Origins player.
Dragon Age: Origins: Awakening will be out at retail on March 16th for $39.99.
