BioWare, a division of Electronic Arts Inc., yesterday released new downloadable content for the critically-acclaimed games Dragon Age: Origins, throwing gamers back into epic battles with a new story revolving around a key supporting character in each franchise. The Dragon Age: Origins DLC pack, "Witch Hunt" ($6.99 on PlayStation Network, 560 Microsoft points on the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system, 560 BioWare Points on PC) features a story that reconnects players with one of the series' original larger-than-life heroes, Morrigan.
"Fans are asking for more characters, more adventures and that is what we're delivering. Morrigan and Liara are two of the most beloved characters in their respective franchises and completing these new journeys will add to the story and action of both games," said BioWare Edmonton General Manager Aaryn Flynn.
Dragon Age: Origins "Witch Hunt" picks up Morrigan's story after the defeat of the Archdemon and her disappearance into the shadows. Nearly a year has passed since the Archdemon's death, and word has reached the Wardens that Morrigan has returned to Ferelden. Seeking to confirm her presence and confront her about her mysterious disappearance, players will head into the forest to tie up this last loose end once and for all. Players can either import their characters from Dragon Age: Origins and Dragon Age: Origins -- Awakening or create a new, high-level hero. Dragon Age: Origins was the "RPG of the Year" for 2009 as named by Game Informer, the SpikeTV Video Game Awards and IGN.com among others.
