BioWare Reveals Return to Ostagar DLC for Dragon Age: Origins

BioWare has announced Return to Ostagar, a new downloadable content pack for Dragon Age: Origins, coming this winter.

BioWare hinted on its Facebook and Twitter pages last night that "something cool" was in the offing for Dragon Age: Origins and as many suspected, the studio was talking about new DLC. In Return to Ostagar, players will make their way back to Ostagar, "the site of the Grey Wardens' darkest hour," where they will seek to reclaim the honor of the fallen King Cailan.

Returning to the Darkspawn-infested battlefield, players will undertake a new quest that will lead them to discover the king's most secret political agenda and ultimately take them behind enemy lines to "a place that many feared had been lost to history." Players will finally be given the chance to exact their revenge on the Darkspawn and, for those who missed it, another opportunity to add Dog to the party.

"The Return to Ostagar DLC pack is a prime example of BioWare's commitment to give fans a game that continuously offers new experiences and further enriches a storyline that has already received critical acclaim and positive feedback from the players," said BioWare co-founder Ray Muzyka. Return to Ostagar will be released this winter and will cost 400 BioWare Points on the PC, 400 Microsoft points on the Xbox 360 and $4.99 on the PlayStation store.
