In anticipation for the next major title in the Dragon Age franchise coming next month, EA has decided to offer Bioware’s RPG Dragon Age: Origins free of charge through Origin’s On The House promotion.

If you already have an EA account and the Origin client downloaded, you can simply select Dragon Age: Origins from the Free Games section of the Origin Store. Do it quickly as the game will only be offered for free until October 14th, 2014.
Don’t worry, any game purchased for free through On the House will remain tied to your Origin account forever.
