Darkspawn Chronicles DLC Announced for Dragon Age, Creates Alternate Timeline
Alex TretropI know, I know, Bioware makes some stellar games but they still haven’t broken out of their bad DLC habit but that looks like it could change with the recently announced Darkspawn Chronicles DLC for Dragon Age: Origins. Interestingly enough, it creates an alternate timeline where your character dies at the beginning of the game and you play as the Darkspawn, the evil beings of Dragon Age’s world. It’s a great idea and boy am I looking forward to it!
Check out the details after the break!
You now fight as the Darkspawn! The city of Denerim, jewel of Ferelden, girds itself for war. As a hurlock vanguard, you alone hold the power to make thralls of your fellow Darkspawn and drive them into the heat of battle. Heed the Archdemon’s call–Denerim must burn!
- A look at an alternate history: what if your character had died in the Joining ceremony, and the Grey Wardens marched under Alistair’s command instead?
- A standalone adventure in which you command genlocks, hurlocks, shrieks, and even the mighty ogres.
- Complete the module and unlock an epic Darkspawn item in DA:O and Awakening.
You can expect to see the DLC release on May 18th for 360, PS3 and PC for 400 Microsoft/Bioware Points or $5, although considering Bioware’s track record with releasing DLC on time, don’t hold your breath!
