Dragon Age: Origins Awakening is an extension of the popular RPG game Dragon Age: Origins, developed by BioWare. The game is set in a fantasy world where players play the role of a commander of the Gray Knights. The story continues from where Dragon Age: Origins ended. The players arrive at the castle to find the creatures of the Darkness still attacking humans.

The gameplay is similar to the base game, with additional features such as players having to take care of the land in their possession. They need to make decisions about building new defenses and searching for ores. The game offers 10 to 15 hours of gameplay for the main story with plenty of side quests to keep players engaged. Players can create their own characters with three specializations and several classes to choose from.
