Dragon Age Inquisition 'Jaws of Hakkon' DLC Release Date for PC and Xbox One, 360 Arrives; No Launch Date for PS3 and PS4 Yet
The third game in the "Dragon Age" series, "Dragon Age: Inquisition," received its first DLC called "Jaws of Hakkon" on March 24. The DLC release was limited to selected consoles, particularly the Xbox One and the PC.
The game's developer BioWare said that because of an exclusivity contract with Microsoft, they could not announce when the DLC pack will be available for the Sony consoles, particularly the PlayStation 3 and the PlayStation 4. The contract restricts them for a limited time only, and according to a report in GameSpot, the developer's general manager Aaran Flynn assured that it will be coming to other consoles soon.
According to another report in IGN, exclusivity contracts such as these usually last for 30 days, so the report says this may be the case for the "Jaws of Hakkon" DLC. Bioware said that they cannot even say how long the exclusivity deal will run. The developers also expressed a little concern about "boycotts."

"I hope no one boycotts the purchase, as it's a pretty fun adventure that will be available on all platforms," Flynn told GameSpot.
The report also said that Bioware hopes to make additional announcements about the PS4 release next week. What is up in the air is if the developer will make the DLC available for older consoles such as the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3.
The "Jaws of Hakkon" DLC is the first DLC pack for the game since it's released in November 2014. According to the game's wiki page, it will "reveal the last Inquisitor and the powerful dragon he hunted." A new playable region called Frostback Basin becomes available which is said to be covered in mountains and lush forests, "where danger lurks in the shadowy undergrowth." Players will be able to get new armor and weapons and will "unearth an ancient secret that could destroy the world."
