Dragon Age: Origins Goes Triple Platinum

By: Tiffany Nevin

Tweet

To no one’s real surprise, Dragon Age: Origins has sold over 3.2 million units worldwide, making it officially triple platinum. The game has has won over 30 “Best of 2009” awards and has an average review score of 91, according to Metacritic. Dragon Age: Origins is the sixth consecutive blockbuster from BioWare.

Most of this success is due not only to the game itself being so awesome, but the additional content packs (Warden’s Keep and Return to Ostagar). The latest expansion pack, Dragon Age: Origins – Awakening is set to launch on March 16, 2010.

Dragon Age: Origins – Awakening, BioWare’s next installment in the Dragon Age lore, occurs following the events of Dragon Age: Origins. Players assume the role of a Grey Warden Commander entrusted with rebuilding the order of Grey Wardens and tasked to uncover the mystery of how the darkspawn survive after the slaying of the Archdemon. How players choose to rebuild their order, resolve the conflict with the mysterious “Architect,” and determine the fate of the darkspawn are just some of the many intriguing moral choices that will shape each player’s heroic journey. Players will be able to import their character from Dragon Age: Origins or start out as a new Grey Warden from the neighboring land of Orlais.

“This is a tremendous start for the Dragon Age franchise and we are extremely pleased with the great reception the game has already received from critics and fans worldwide,” said Dr. Ray Muzyka, co-founder, BioWare and Group General Manager of the RPG/MMO Group of EA. “Our team is dedicated to crafting high quality, engaging new adventures and stories in the world of Ferelden for our fans!”

Considering that a Dragon Age sequel was listed in EA’s third quarter financial results, we’re not so surprised by that, either.
