First confirmed back in the cacophony of 'old' E3 2004, the countdown to Dragon Age's release looks firmly underway, with new details expected on the Bioware RPG from this Wednesday (July9th).

The official website now features a splash page with the less than subtle tagline "More July 9th, 2008" and a link to the game's forums, which have (understandably) now gone berserk with activity and speculation. New information on the title comes just one week before the downsized E3 opens its doors in Los Angeles, where Dragon Age will no doubt take one of the key places at EA's stand.

Pencilled in for launch during the first quarter of 2009, Dragon Age is the first title to make use of Bioware's new Eclipse engine, and delves into the realms of in-depth fantasy role play.
