Xbox downloadable content removed from marketplace through major program flaw.

Canadian game developers BioWare have left many Dragon Age: Origins fans distraught after bugs discovered in the downloadable content (DLC) for the Xbox version of the game forced the company to retract the new content from the Xbox Live Marketplace.

BioWare community manager Chris Priestly announced on the company forum:

“This morning a title update on the Xbox 360 for Dragon Age: Origins was made available in preparation for the release of Return to Ostagar. This title update introduced a previously undetected issue that causes specialization classes to not work correctly in Dragon Age: Origins. We are removing Return to Ostagar from Xbox Live until the issue is resolved and are recommending that you do not download the title update. If you have already performed the update, we apologize for this and are working hard to ensure a fix is available as soon as possible.”

The Return to Ostagar expansion has already been delayed for the PC and PS3 releases which also caused some enmity from players, whilst Xbox players who had downloaded the bugged content were frustrated that the glitch disrupted their progression in what will surely be one of the most absorbing games of 2010.

Whilst players wait for the bug to be fixed, Dragon Age fans can content themselves with Fergus Macpherson’s brilliant YouTube trailer of the DLC we would all love to see added to Dragon Age.

BioWare will certainly fix specialization classes for Return to Ostagar, but they are unlikely to fix the infuriating Morrigan. Players will never be able to deliver the much deserved slapping to Morrigan that Macpherson’s video delights in, but by God they will treasure the memory of what it would look like.
