EA have finally confirmed that the first expansion pack for Dragon Age: Origins will be released on March 16th

This news comes after a rumor of the pack, which will be released at retail, surfaced last week. The pack is named ‘Awakening’ and promises around 15 hours of gameplay. Players will have the ability to import their existing character (and edit them) or start from scratch with this new adventure.

The following comes from the expansion’s GameStop page:

For centuries, the Grey Wardens-the ancient order of guardians, sworn to unite and defend the lands-have been battling the darkspawn forces. Legend spoke that slaying the Archdemon would have put an end to the darkspawn threat for centuries to come, but somehow they remain. You are the Grey Warden Commander and have been entrusted with the duty of rebuilding the order of Grey Wardens and uncovering the secrets of the darkspawn and how they managed to remain. How you choose to rebuild your order, how you resolve the conflict with “The Architect”, and how you determine the fate of the darkspawn will be but some of the many complex choices that await and shape your journey as you venture to the new land of Amaranthine.

The pack will be released on March 16th. No pricing has been confirmed as of yet.
