Earlier today we reported that Microsoft is still keeping us guessing on the fate of Alan Wake, a game that was first announced back in 2005 at E3. Well believe it or not the wait has been even longer for Dragon Age, a fantasy RPG from developer BioWare. It announced the game and showed off a brief in-game demo behind closed doors at E3 in 2004. Yep, that's four years ago. Since then little info on the game has been revealed with one notable exception; it was a cover story for the first issue of the now shut down Games for Windows magazine in the fall of 2006 (1Up.com still has that story posted on their web site).

Well unlike Microsoft and Alan Wake it looks like we will be getting at least some info on Dragon Age in the near future. BioWare's new owner Electronic Arts has the game scheduled to be released in their 2009 fiscal year (which ends on March 31, 2009). And at at EA press event this week, BioWare co-founder Ray Muzyka was quoted by MTV's Multiplayer site as saying the game is "Looking really sweet." We hope to finally get a glimpse at this long awaited game at E3 in July; we have our fingers crossed.
