In a recent interview with us Ray Muzyka has spilled the beans about the next Dragon Age: Origins expansion Awakening, explaining that it is the equivalent of a full retail release.
"It's a meaty expansion, a lot of developers would release it as a full game but we're releasing it as a great high quality, really rich expansion for the Dragon Age game."

When asked whether BioWare has any plans to add standalone support for the expansion he had this to say:
"We aren't planning to at the moment but we do have some standalone games currently in development for the Dragon Age universe. Along with a lot more DLC and expansion content, so it's a mix of both for Dragon Age."
So gamers shouldn't only expect more DLC but also the promise of more than one standalone game based on the Dragon Age universe in the future. Whether that includes the lovely Morrigan remains to be seen.
We'll have more from the joint CEO of BioWare all this week including his reaction to Mass Effect 2, how Old Republic is progressing and what we can expect from the RPG maker in the future.
