Previously slated to arrive before its console brethren, the PC version of Dragon Age: Origins has been delayed to the second half of 2009. It will now launch alongside the console versions.

“I’m really proud of our team, who are working very hard to make Dragon Age: Origins the biggest and most exciting BioWare game yet, and we will work to ensure it not only meets, but exceeds the expectations of our loyal audience,” said BioWare CEO Ray Muzyka.

Electronic Arts CEO John Riccitiello said that the delay was due to marketing, and that BioWare will continue to polish the PC release.
