Electronic Arts has been involved in two direct-to-DVD animation releases for its games Dead Space and Dante's Inferno. Today the publisher revealed that the anime treatment will be given to BioWare's Dragon Age RPG franchise. The anime will be handled by the well known Japanese anime import company FUNimation as the first title in their new Original Entertainment division.

It's going to be a while before the Dragon Age movie is done. Production just started last month and it won't be be released until sometime in 2011. We are betting the movie will be released at the same time as a new Dragon Age game ships out. Dragon Age has already spawned a novel series, a comic book series and a pen-and-paper RPG.
