Giving us all a chance to loot King Cailan’s mashed up corpse for a few Health Poultices, the “Return to Ostagar” DLC pack comes to PCs and Xbox 360 versions of the game on January 5th. According to the press release we’ll be spending 400 MS points or 400 Bioware points to exact revenge for the Grey Warden’s darkest hour and discover a few secrets about Ferelden’s fallen King along the way.

Given that his wife was such a complete bitch I can well imagine Cailan’s sexual deviancy being quite an interesting quest line to follow. As long as it doesn’t follow the bestial path that fellow writer Chuck Vargas went down and errs further towards the busty Desire Demons then it’s all good for me.

Oh and PlayStation 3 owners? Looks like EA won’t touch the PSN until you’ve trudged through Orzimmar one more boring time as the DLC won’t be available until later in the month – balls.

Here’s the official guff:

Leading video game developer BioWare™, a division of Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: ERTS), announced today that the Return to Ostagar downloadable content (DLC) for Dragon Age™: Origins will be released on January 5 in North America and Europe for the Xbox 360® videogame and entertainment system and PC versions of the game at a cost of 400 BioWare Points or Microsoft Points. The DLC will be available for the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system later in January. Return to Ostagar allows players to exact their revenge and embark on a quest for the mighty arms and armor of the once great King Cailan when they revisit Ostagar, the site of the Grey Wardens’ darkest hour, to reclaim the honor and learn the secrets of Ferelden’s fallen king.

“We are thrilled at the way the fans have embraced Dragon Age: Origins and we’re excited to welcome them back into the game,” said Aaryn Flynn, General Manager and Vice President, BioWare Edmonton. “Return to Ostagar represents BioWare’s commitment to providing a steady stream of compelling post release content as we continue to expand the Dragon Age universe.”

Return to Ostagar summons players to a new quest in which they will return to the fateful battleground in Ostagar where the Grey Wardens were nearly wiped out. Players will discover King Cailan’s top-secret political agenda and go behind enemy lines to revisit a place that many feared had been lost to history.

Return to Ostagar will be available for 400 BioWare Points on the PC and 400 Microsoft Points on the Xbox 360 on January 5. It will be available for $4.99 on the PlayStation® Store later in the month.
