BioWare has unveiled details of their next massive RPG, at least one
that is not Mass Effect 2, and the team is going back to the old
Baldur?s Gate days with Dragon Age: Origins. The game will contain all
of the mature and complex storytelling BioWare has become known for and
add that into the classically fantasy driven world.

?Dragon Age: Origins is a dark heroic fantasy that doesn?t pull any
punches. Our fans are in for the most emotionally intense gaming
experience we?ve ever created, and we hope to surprise them with just
how dark and gritty it gets,? said Ray Muzyka, co-General Manager and
CEO of BioWare and VP of Electronic Arts.

Here?s some of what you can expect from Dragon Age: Origins. Combat will
scale dependin on the size of your party. A large party can combine
their powers to take down massive enemies, or an invading army of
sprites. Yes, I think there should be more sprites in video games. Magic
spells can be combined to create epic combos. Of course, this is a
BioWare RPG so your characer will have a multitude of areas to level up
and improve in. Just like in Mass Effect you choose your character?s
backstory and the world sees you in that way.

Dragon Age: Origins is scheduled to release on PC in early 2009.
