The first full expansion pack to Dragon Age: Origins has been announced, and
will be released for the PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on March 16, 2010.
Designed and written by the same team that brought you Dragon Age: Origins,
the Awakening expansion pack offers a brand new area of the world to explore
known as Amaranthine, featuring an epic story that will allow players to
unravel the secrets of the darkspawn - and their true motivations. Players
will face a range of horrific and terrifying creatures including an evolved,
intelligent breed of darkspawn and other menacing creatures such as the
Inferno Golem and Spectral Dragon. Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening provides
exciting new ways for players to customize their heroes and party, including
the ability to re-spec their character attributes, allowing even greater
customization and replayability. Featuring an increased level cap, new
spells, abilities, specializations and items, plus five all-new party
members, players can continue their adventures from Dragon Age, or begin
with a brand new party.
