![[Rumour] Dragon Age series to get multiplayer using Frost Bite Engine](http://igxpro.net/wp-content/themes/twentyeleven/timthumb.php?src=http://igxpro.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/dragon-age-2-flemeth-dragon.jpg&h=292&w=602&zc=1&a=t)
According to Kotaku, from insider information, Dragon Age will be getting the multiplayer treatment. This rumour is not entirely far off as Bioware has included mutiplayer in their 3 iteration of their popular sci-fi RPG, though this makes less sense to me, in terms of gameplay. The mutiplayer will include PVP and PVE interactions as well as the ability to fight, and play as, a dragon (awesome if true).
Game Informer posted the first teaser pic for Bioware’s next game today, and the internet is already rife with speculation about what the new game could be. With the Mass Effect trilogy wrapping up next March with the release of third (and presumably, final) game in the series, Bioware seems to be reaching out of their traditional nerd-focused sci-fi and fantasy comfort zone with their next game, which, judging from the lone screenshot, looks like it might be some sort of vehicle focused, post apocalyptic action game of some kind.
Only six days to go until Dragon Age II is released and I couldn’t be more excited, especially after playing the demo.The PC peripheral company, Razer, also seems to have taken an interest in the title as they plan on releasing DA2 branded devices and messenger bag, all of which look fantastic. This is similar to what they had done with the Tron line of peripherals.
Bioware has just released a trailer for the launch day Downloadable content for Dragon II, which will feature a new character and extra missions. According to EA, the DLC lets you “adventure alongside Sebastian Vael, an archer of noble birth, as he seeks revenge for the brutal murder of his family. Aid him in his quest, and direct his righteous wrath on your enemies.”
A couple days ago, the new trailer for Dragon Age Redemption debuted on Jimmy Fallen Show as Felicia Day was a guest star on the show to promote the new live action mini-series. You can check out Felicia Day with her cute elf ears below. In the mini-series, she plays an assassin that has set out to stop an insane mage from destroying the world of Dragon Age.
If you weren’t one of the lucky ones that got early access to the demo of Biowares’ latest RPG at Comic-con or other such events then you will still get your chance to see the changes and upgrades before the official game release in March. The demo will be about 15 minutes of gameplay allowing you to play as Hawke or his mage companion.
BioWare has announced a free-to-play Facebook game for the Dragon Age universe called Dragon Age: Legends. The game will be tailor-made for Facebook-obsessed users of all ages. Facebookers will enter in tactical combat co-op gameplay made especially for social networks. The game will launch in February 2011 and will also give gamers a chance to unlock exclusives for Dragon Age II, also coming in 2011.
The dreaded Archdemon has been slain and the advance of the darkspawn halted by a lone, heroic Grey Warden. The kingdom rejoices, but at least one question remains: what happened to Morrigan? That may have a been a burning question for some Wardens out there. I mean, you just let her get away, who knows what power she holds after slaying the Archdemon. Wonder no more! Witch Hunt is going to unravel much of the mystery that is Morrigan.
While at ComicCon this year I did get a chance to get some hands-on time with this game. Now for those of you who were not lucky enough to be there, here is the trailer for your viewing pleasure. It looks amazing and this trailer does a good job of showing off the epic-ness of it, also the updated logo makes an appearance here as well. Bioware has already announced that it plans to release DLC soon after the games release on March 8th 2011, much like we have come to expect with Origins, hopefully. Excited? I know I am.
The now legendary company, Bioware, has released their latest heavy-hitter franchise. No, it doesn’t relate to space or even shepards. It’s a fantasy epic built from the ground up by one of the best story-tellers in gaming history. So pause WoW for a minute and pop this game tape in to your deprived disc drive.
