EA Announces New Dragon Age DLC

EA has announced that for the first time ever you will be able to fight as the darkspawn in Bioware’s Dragon Age: Origins.  In the new downloadable content pack, Dragon Age: Origins Darkspawn Chronicles, players have the chance to experience life on the dark side.  Playing as the corrupted army of the Blight and enslaved to the will of the Archdemon.  In North America, Darkspawn Chronicles will be available for XBox360 for 400 Microsoft points on May 18th.  This content will also be available for $4.99 on the Playstation Store with its launch date to be announced later.

The Darkspawn Chronicles offers players a look at an alternate history in the Dragon Age universe.  Darkspawn Chronicles begins as your character dies during the Joining ceremony, and the Grey Wardens now march under Alistair’s command.  As a hurlock vanguard, you alone hold the power to make thralls of their fellow darkspawn and drive them into the heat of battle as Denerim burns.  This adventure gives you command of genlocks, hurlocks, shrieks, and even the mighty ogres.  Some of the key features of this new content include:

• Imagine a world without heroes, where the greatest among you never became a Grey Warden
• Play through the Fall of Denerim from the perspective of the darkspawn
• Complete the module and unlock an epic darkspawn item for use in Dragon Age: Origins and Dragon Age: Origins – Awakening
• Use the “Enthrall” ability – recruit any darkspawn you encounter into your party.
