Dragon Age: Origins Heading to Consoles After PC

BioWare's upcoming RPG Dragon Age: Origins will arrive on unspecified consoles following its PC release, director Dan Tudge has confirmed.

"Yes. Dragon Age: Origins will be coming to consoles in the near future, yes," Tudge told Eurogamer. The site claims he hinted at a late 2009 release for the console release, with a representative stating that "plans for consoles haven't been finalized yet."

BioWare had previously stated that the Dragon Age franchise would eventually make its way to consoles, but had not specified if that referred to Dragon Age: Origins or a console-specific entry.

Billed as BioWare's "spiritual successor" to its hardcore PC RPG series Baldur's Gate, Dragon Age: Origins is currently slated to arrive on PC between January and March of 2009. It was originally announced back in 2004.

According to Tudge, the game's title "really represents three real key elements," including "the origins stories," "the return to BioWare's roots" and "the origins of the franchise, of the series."
