BioWare has announced that award-winning rock band Thirty Seconds to Mars will headline the in-game soundtrack for the new RPG, Dragon Age: Origins. The title song from the band's new album 'This is War' will make its world debut in Dragon Age: Origins before the album drops on December 8th.

"EA has always had a forward-thinking relationship with Thirty Seconds to Mars and we are overwhelmed with excitement about the band's involvement and creative contribution to Dragon Age: Origins," said Steve Schnur, Worldwide Executive of Music and Music Marketing at EA. "This exciting song debut exemplifies our continued commitment to working with great bands that move the needle to where music is going."

"We always like to push the envelope in the entertainment and media space and debuting our title track in a game of this caliber is a great way to communicate our music to fans around the world," said Jared Leto, lead singer of Thirty Seconds to Mars. "We've come a long way from having to rely solely on radio to approach and engage music fans, and Dragon Age: Origins is the perfect game to do this with."

In Europe, Dragon Age: Origins will be released on November 6th on the Xbox 360 and PC and later in November on PlayStation 3.
