Electronic Arts today announced new details on its dark fantasy Role Playing Game Dragon Age: Origins, which will be featured at this years E3 Media and Business Summit.

As the spiritual successor to BioWare’s Baldur’s Gate, one of the most successful role-playing games in the industry, Dragon Age: Origins represents BioWare’s return to its roots, delivering a fusion of the best elements of existing fantasy works with stunning visuals, emotionally-driven narrative, heart-pounding combat, powerful magic abilities and credible digital actors. The spirit of classic RPGs comes of age, as Dragon Age: Origins features a dark and mature story and gameplay.

The upcoming -- and highly anticipated -- MMORPG of Warhammer Online has given the snip to four capitol cities and four of the character classes because of quality issues.

Mythic VP Mark Jacobs reasons that they "wanted to make our capital cities the best cities in any MMO," so four got canned. The MMO is also to feature anti-cheat PunkBuster.

EA has announced its lineup for E3:

Electronic Arts today unveiled the games it will feature at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) at the Los Angeles Convention Center July 15 – 17. The games -- scheduled to ship on multiple platforms in 2008 and early 2009 – include riveting graphics, deep stories and online, socially connected experiences. EA’s portfolio covers many genres and platforms for core gamers and new players alike.

Take-Two are to take the massively multiplayer plunge as they sign a publishing deal with City of Heroes/Villains developer Cryptic Studios, on their latest project.

Champions Online is their next superhero MMO that's said to have learnt a lot from their previous spandex suited creation. It's coming to PC and Xbox360, if Microsoft says yes.

Bioware have finally unveiled some teasers about their up-and-coming RPG project, Dragon Age. Finally revealing a new website, Bioware has stated that no more details will be released until Friday's addition of GameTrailers TV.

Ascaron has let Strategy Informer know that its currently accepting beta test sign-ups for its upcoming RPG Sacred 2.

The Hellgate: London dev, Flagship Studios, hopes that their new free-to-play MMO Mythos will "take down some" and "put a dent" in other rival MMO's when it launches.

Studio co-founder Max Schaefer admits that a flaw with Hellgate would be "trying to do too many things for too many people," something they're keen to avoid repeating with Mythos.

Lionhead Studios and Microsoft Game Studios today announced that consumers who pre-order a copy of Fable II will be given free access to download the Fable II Pub Games when they are released this August. Available exclusively on Xbox LIVE Arcade, fans can transfer the gold earned in these casino-style mini-games to the world of Fable 2.

The upcoming Dragon Age was announced quite a while back but very little info has trickled down from BioWare since then, which is all to change very soon.

They've updated the Dragon Age website with the excellent news that they plan to start yammering on about it. The RPG is expected to hit shops sometime before April '09.
