While the PlayStation 3 of Dragon Age: Origins was looking to be delayed several weeks past the November 3 launch date, BioWare confirmed today that all three versions--Xbox 360, PC and PS3--will ship on the same day.

Three DLC packs--The Stone Prisoner, the Blood Dragon Armor and Warden’s Keep--will also be available at launch.

The company also announced that Dragon Age has gone gold and is now off to manufacturing. To mark the occasion, we've got a new trailer highlighting the character of Oghren, the dwarven gladiator:

A new Electronic Arts studio dedicated to creating Flash games has revealed its first project, a browser-based take on BioWare's upcoming RPG Dragon Age.

"At EA 2D it is our mission to create blockbusters for the browser," wrote EA 2D producer Ethan Levy in a dev diary. "Some will be original games created by our teams and some will be games within other EA franchises, such as Dragon Age Journeys."

Dragon Age Journeys is aimed to be a "3 chapter, single player, tactical rpg delivered in Flash." The game will function as a stand-alone experience, but is tied to the story and settings of Dragon Age, with the first chapter centered around "the dwarven city of Orzammar and the Deep Roads surrounding it."

The Dragon Age: Origins PC Character Creator is now available on FileShack, allowing you to design your hero (or heroine) weeks before the actual game arrives. Among the various options are gender, race, class, and numerous appearance toggles. You'll also dole out a few attribute points and glimpse some skill and talent trees.

Coming from Baldur's Gate and Mass Effect developer BioWare, Dragon Age: Origins hits PC and Xbox 360 on November 3, with a PlayStation 3 edition later in the month.

With the release of Dragon Age: Origins drawing ever closer, developer BioWare has now called forth a fancy cinematic trailer for the upcoming fantasy RPG. In other words, there's no actual gameplay here, but lots of pretty CGI and action movie-esque stunts.

In related news, BioWare has confirmed that the PC edition will arrive on Steam in addition to Direct2Drive and Impulse. The full game hits PC and Xbox 360 on November 3, with the PlayStation 3 edition due later in the month. Thanks to Eric for the tip.

How, exactly, does one become a Brood Mother? This brief Dragon Age: Origins vignette may not provide the clearest answer to that query, but it does provide a hint or two.

BioWare has confirmed the Dragon Age: Origins 'Warden's Keep' content included with the PC Digital Deluxe Edition--which is different than the Collector's Edition and only sold via online shops--will also be available as $7 downloadable content at launch.

Warden's Keep brings "a new dungeon-exploring adventure, new loot including a set of ancient Grey Warden armor, a chance to gain two of six mysterious new abilities, a new base complete with merchants and a party chest to store their hard-earned items."

As was previously announced, the 'Stone Prisoner' DLC found free in all new copies of the game will also be released at $15 for those who buy used when the fantasy RPG hits PC and Xbox 360 on November 3--then PlayStation 3 later in the month.

Available only in new copies is the "Blood Dragon Armor," wearable by characters in both Dragon Age and Mass Effect 2. Have a gander through this trailer... Read more

"They'll tell of the ancient Feraldens. They'll tell of the strife with the Devinter empire long ago. They'll tell of the great, wondrous battles that have taken place," says Dragon Age designer Ferret Baudoin of the game's environments in this short dev diary.

An interesting note is that the BioWare dev team used the Neverwinter Nights engine to prototype Dragon Age levels before finally crafting them for the final game.

I can't tell you about the ancient Feraldens, but I can tell you that Dragon Age arrives on PC and Xbox 360 on November 3, with the PS3 release following later that month.

BioWare has announced that a PC character creation utility for Dragon Age: Origins will be released ahead of the game's release, allowing players to craft their adventurers and load them directly into the final game.

The 320mb application will be released on October 13, while the full game is set to hit shelves on November 3, providing exactly three weeks of time to sculpt the perfect hero.

A new Dragon Age: Origins trailer features only a few bars of industrial rock and not even the faintest whiff of nipple, thankfully choosing instead to show the over-crowded and troubled Ferelden capital city of Denerim--a fine place for a spot of RPG adventuring.

Coming from Mass Effect and Baldur's Gate developer BioWare and published by EA, Dragon Age hits PC and Xbox 360 on November 3 then PlayStation 3 later that month.

"I grew up around Antivan whores," assassin Zevran declares in his introductory trailer. "What?" another member of your party rightly exclaims in absolute astonishment.

Behind the sex and shlock marketing, though, BioWare's RPG Dragon Age: Origins still packs the tactical combat and engaging fantasy world one would expect from the developer of Baldur's Gate and Neverwinter Nights.

Dragon Age: Origins is slated to hit PC and Xbox 360 on November 3 then PlayStation 3 later in the month, published by EA and packing free downloadable content.

The latest trailer out of the Dragon Age hype machine introduces the character of Leliana. She kills a couple jerks, slays a few monsters, and has some sex. I suppose there's not much else to do in the age of dragons.

Dragon Age hits the PC and Xbox 360 on November 3, with a PS3 release to follow.

Fresh from PAX, this new batch of shots from Dragon Age starts bloody and ends booby. There are a few pictures of people standing around inbetween--presumably depicting the founding of a nation, or some other boring thing. Dragon Age hits the PC and Xbox 360 on November 3. The PS3 release will follow later on an unspecified date.

Veteran actor Tim Curry and Star Trek: Voyaher's Kate Mulgrew are both doing voices for Dragon Age: Origins, and this trailer highlights that fact, and BioWare's process of working with the traditional actors on the fantasy RPG project.

Dragon Age hits the PC and Xbox 360 on November 3, with the PS3 release lagging behind.

Welcome to Dragon Age's city of Haven, which, like every other fictional city named Haven, conceals some manner of dark secret whose resolution will require bloodshed.

BioWare's RPG Dragon Age: Origins will hit PC and Xbox 360 on November 3, with the PlayStation 3 release later in the month. A free piece of downloadable content worth $15 will be included with new copies, presumably to make used copies unattractive.

Developer BioWare today revealed that those who buy a new copy of Dragon Age: Origins, be it in standard or collector's edition form, will be rewarded with $15 worth of free downloadable content plus armor that can also be used in Mass Effect 2.

The downloadable Stone Prisoner add-on--free with a new copy, otherwise priced at $15--allows players to add the "mighty stone golem" Shale to their party and is said to bring "hours of additional gameply" though new quests, environments, and items.

New copies of Dragon Age will also include a code to download the Blood Dragon Armor, usable in both Dragon Age and BioWare's upcoming Mass Effect 2. It was not specified if the Armor DLC will be sold separately, though it was described as... Read more

Good old Wynney. She's a mentor, a friend, and a spirit healer. She may not exactly be the life of the party, but judging by the sparkly explosions, she's not going to be entirely useless in a party, either.

For those that missed the news of the delay, Dragon Age: Origins is now arriving November 3 on Xbox 360 and PC. The PlayStation 3 release has been further delayed to a date later that month.

Following indications of a delay, BioWare has now confirmed that Dragon Age: Origins has been pushed out of October and is now slated to release in November.

"Dragon Age: Origins will be released on November 3rd in North America and November 6th in Europe on the Xbox 360 videogame entertainment system and PC," BioWare's Chris Priestly stated. "The PLAYSTATION 3 version will follow later in November."

No reason was given for the later PlayStation 3 release. Previously, all versions of the fantasy RPG were expected to hit simultaneously on October 20 in North America.

The studio denied the delay into November just yesterday, with BioWare then telling Shacknews that it was "still targeting an October 20 release date" and "if the release date changes, we'll issue a press release."
