‘Dragon Age: Origins — Awakening,’ is a real thing. This morning, EA and BioWare announced the expansion, confirming several details leaked days prior, thanks to an odd European retailer listing.

The expansion appears to take place after the events in the core game, tasking users with rebuilding the devastated Grey Warden ranks in a place named Amaranthine as the order’s new Commander.

Don’t think the Darkspawn are toast. The conflict isn’t over — one of the Commanders main goals is to figure out why the Darkspawn are still running around after the Archdemon’s death. The official release promises a moral choice accompanies this mystery, and morals will factor into rebuilding the order.

‘Dragon Age: Origins — Awakening’ is priced at $39.99 and will be available for all relevant platforms on March 16, 2010.
