We know that EA and BioWare have a long-term plan for Dragon Age: Origins<\/a>. Even at launch the developer stated that two years worth of of DLC are in the works, and we’ll be receiving our first major bit of it next week<\/a>. But a rumor is circulating today that the plans may be even more ambitious than we realized, with a full packaged expansion planned for March. <\/p>\n Big Download Blog reports<\/a> on a page<\/a> from Eurogamer.cz, the Czech gaming site. According to the translated text, the expansion is titled “The Awakening,” and will come out on March 19. The suggested price is around 2\/3 the price of the original game, which would probably translate to $30-40 U.S. dollars. It’s also said to be a full packaged product that would be found in stores, and while only the PC version is mentioned, we expect BioWare would similarly support the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions. The original game is reported to be required, and it will raise the level cap while also creating an entirely new, shorter campaign with a new character. The report states that EA will make the announcement official in early January, so we may see it any day now.<\/p>\n We don’t usually see such specificity in a rumor, so it’s hard not to think Eurogamer is on to something. Origins was always meant to be the start of a lucrative RPG franchise — it’s even present in the title. Still, until we hear official word from EA, we’re going to categorize this strictly as a rumor. We’ll keep you posted when, and if, we get more details. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n
