If, like me, you were happy to send a few dollars to Bioware today for the Return to Ostagar DLC, you’re going to have to wait. Late yesterday night, it seems that Bioware’s Chris Priestly announced via their forums that the downloadable pack won’t be ready in the near future. His message said, “We’re sorry but the planned Return to Ostagar downloadable content scheduled to launch on January 5th has been delayed for all platforms. We will update you as new information becomes available.” There really isn’t much to go on as far as when it will be out right now, but we will keep our ears to the ground.
On the bright side, they did confirm the rumored Dragon Age: Awakening expansion pack will be coming to the XBox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC on March 16th. The 360 and PS3 versions are currently priced at $40 on GameStop while the PC version is $30. While Bioware hasn’t given a much detail themselves, GameStop has the following details (warning marginal spoilers if you haven’t finished the game):
“From the Makers of the Best RPG of 2009, Dragon Age: Origins, comes the first official expansion pack. 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.”
Hopefully, there will be a little more information about what comes with the expansion in the near future.
