BioWare's upcoming Dragon Age RPG franchise will eventually extend its reach to consoles following its PC debut next year, the developer has revealed.

No details were offered on the console editions, leaving it unclear if the console games will be simple ports or entirely new entries in the myhtology-rich series.

Billed as the "spiritual successor" to BioWare's work on the Baldurs Gate games, the first Dragon Age title, Dragon Age: Origins, arrives on PC next year.

Swapped around the Mass Effect way of releasing eh?
Might not be a bad thing when looking at it from a console point of view.

Consoles are so ruining hardcore pc gaming. Let me guess, it'll be playable with a game pad out of the box. :\ Game pads are the worst for hardcore gaming. I HATE EM, I HATE EM, I HATE EM and I will never make myself believe they can do the job that should be done by a keyboard mouse.

If this game has the same kind of non-combat RP experience as BG, I'm fucking SOLD 10X over.

Wow. I'm a person who hates the term consolized with a passion. 90% of the time I think the arguments are fairly weak. I'll still wait till I see some gameplay before I start bitching. This game was supposed to the the spiritual successor to Baldurs Gate. I don't see how you could do a Baldur's Gate style game on a console. Makes me weep for my PC. Between the lame assed announcement and weak trailer my expectations for this game went down a few notches.

That being said I'll still be preordering it. It's still BioWare so I'm sure it'll be good. Just not what I was hoping for.
