I'd say it sounds closer to GR's true20 (3 basic classes + paths). Maybe it's just wishful thinking. I'd love a more refined, fleshed out version of true20.
I'd like to know more about the rules for Dragon Age TTRPG

Even 3.0 had it with Prestige Classes and many Computer games. So it's nothing new, but it always depends how the basic Idea is implemented.

I mentioned true20 because it's another Green Ronin game (derived from 3.0 via M&M), has 3 basic classes (Adept, Expert, Warrior) reminiscent of DA's Mage, Rogue, Warrior and seemless multiclassing (even more flexible than 3.0.)
But it could be something completely different, like GR's recent Song of Ice and Fire.

I wouldn't be at all surprised (I be more surprised if it isn't included) if there is some manner of "Origins" mechanic. It is a big, BIG part of the computer game so I can see that being translated to the RPG in some fashion.
It will be neat too, since the video-game has only a small number. But given the freedom of a P&P RPG I could see a whole bunch of them.

No information about the system but it's nice to know what the "long overdue" bit meant.

So far, we know only
* it's a new system. Not an existing GR system, not D&D and not even the system used in the video game.
* it's got classes and it's got levels. (So it won't be anything like WFRP or Basic Role-Playing). However, just because a system's got classes and levels doesn't mean it'll automatically become similar to D&D.
It's still early to say if this will be pitched as a general D&D "replacement" and direct competitor, or whether it - and the overall world of Dragon Age - 's going to be branded as a specific niche. Personally, however, I felt GR missed a chance at taking major shares out of WotC's pie when True20 didn't get sufficient support to be a complete D&D replacement; and so I obviously hope Dragon Age isn't merely offered to the kids who plays the computer game.
