Now, before you panic, just take a moment a listen to us. We're going to get you through this. Yes, Shacknews is reporting that GameFly has listed Dragon Age: Origins for Nov. 3 and Nov. 19 on the 360 and PS3 respectively, but that's only two to four weeks after its current October 20 release date. That's not so bad, is it?
Besides, we're not even sure this definitely means the game will be late coming to retail -- it could just be a GameFly oddity. We've put the word out to BioWare for confirmation and we'll let you know as soon as we hear something. For now, let's all just take a nice, deep breath. OK?
[Update: Just heard from BioWare's Erik Einsiedel on this: "We're still targeting an October 20 release date. If that were to change, we'd issue a press release."]
[Update 2: Well, it's not a press release, but we just spoke with BioWare's senior PR manager, Matt Atwood, who confirmed that all versions of Dragon Age: Origins will arrive in November. The developer's official word on the revised dates: "We are pleased to announce that Dragon Age: Origins will be released on November 3 in North America and November 6 in Europe for Xbox 360 and PC. The PlayStation 3 version of the game will follow later in November."]

Goody, another game delayed until Q1 2010.
Just you watch, it's going to happen.

It's bad for me cause that pushes it right into MW2 and Assassin's Creed 2 territory.

I kinda believe the same. I already pre-ordered it on the PC (CE) cause I wanted the toolset which are really cool. I dont know why they would delay this game.

It's going to go. Not doubt about it.

OH NO!!! Joystiq! I'm working late today and you just totally rained on my hopes of a good start to my weekend. I wish I didn't read this!
Ok, I'm calm now. This sucks. I hope it is a gamefly error and not the real deal. I've been looking forward to this game big time, hell, I'm even reading the novel. This is my most anticipated game of 2009.

I did notice that this game and Alpha Protocol were very close to each other. Perhaps this is the reason for the supposed delay? Separate the two straight up RPGs?

Oh Justin... As disappointed as I am in a possible delay of this game, that was mitigated by your brilliant captioning.

Oh thank GOD it wasn't until 2010. Someone asked me yesterday to tally the games I'm excited for this holiday season and I could name just five games. If this one got pushed back to the Magical Era of Awesome (aka Q1 and Q2 of 2010) too I probably would have given up on consoles and bought all my games next year with my tax refund.
