It's both a good and bad day to be a Dragon Age fan. Within hours, EA has announced a new expansion for the game, and unexpectedly delayed downloadable content that was due out today. The Awakening expansion rumor we reported is apparently true, and in this case the speculation was pretty spot-on. Awakening will be coming for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC on March 16 for $40. It features a new territory and enemies, and allows you to use your current character or begin with a new Gray Warden character. It will also raise the level cap and introduce some new abilities, so the ability to re-spec your character is available too. Since it takes place after the events of Dragon Age: Origins, the plot seems to revolve around rebuilding and learning more about the Darkspawn. Unfortunately, this follows right on the heels of a late-night announcement on the BioWare forums. The Return to Ostagar DLC, which was due to come out today for PC and Xbox Live, was delayed at the 11th hour for unknown reasons. "We're sorry but the planned Return to Ostagar downloadable content scheduled to launch on January 5th has been delayed for all platforms," wrote BioWare's Chris Priestly. "We will update you as new information becomes available." Right now BioWare is being extremely vague on the details, but we'll let you know when we hear anything.
