A little over a year had passed between the release of Origins and Dragon Age II but quite a bit has changed, mostly for the better, but along with the upgrade came some new issues that were not present in the original. It will be hard not to compare this game directly to Origins, as it directly set the foundation that lays under most of the sequel and the events that occurred in the first are also reflected in this, but I will keep it as limited as possible.
Mark October 11 on your calendars Dragon Age fans as the latest DLC package, Mark of The Assassin, is set to release then. It’s not only big news because it’s another reason to venture back to Kirkwall but because a certain up and coming indie film star will be voicing the new character present in the DLC.
The blood of Hawke is being hunted in the latest DLC from Bioware for their popular RPG Dragon Age II. In this adventure add-on Hawke must venture to a Grey Warden prison to discover why he is being hunted and why his lineage is the cause for this. This adventure outside Kirkwall will unearth secrets of Hawkes past
It’s a sad day when a great game such as Dragon Age 2 needs to have engineers boost the rating on, the popular game rating site, Metacritic. The BioWare employee has posted a positive review for the game with the username Avanost which he then linked to a Plurk account that revealed his name to be Christopher Hoban, a software engineer.
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.”
Those who have played Drgaon Age: Origins: The Awakening will certainly remember Anders as the sarcastic mage that tried escaping from the grasp of the Cirlce of Magi, players will discover him having abandoned the Grey Wardens as well in Dragon Age II. Hawke will run into the rogue mage in the city of Kirkwall.
This may not be big news, but it is exciting news. I have always been a fan of various collector’s editions of just about anything and Dragon Age 2 just happens to be my most anticipated game of the year. So, in case you share a similar excitement for the world of Ferelden then hop on the Gamestop website and pre-order this beautiful book.
Biowares’ Fantasy epic series is getting sequel which is not exactly a sequel. Regardless of how it fits into the storyline it will be a great improvement from its predecessor, or at least the folks at Bioware seem to think so. Check out the video below for all the details, as they have taken much of the fans feedback and also their own personal experience with Origins and turned it into some great.
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.

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.
Being the resident RPG fanatic here at IGXPro I have to say I was beyond ecstatic to be able to lay my hands on the sequel to my favourite game of 2009. Today I finally set aside the time at Comic-Con to wander over to the Hilton Hotel where they had demo stations set up of both Dragon Age II and Dead Space 2, and waited in line for my chance to play.
All of us in line were huddled into a room with red curtain-covered walls and classy-looking clear plastic chairs which were centred in front of HD screens displaying the DA2 logo screen, ready to be played. I had to hold back picking up the controller and getting right into it since we first had to be introduced to the game via the lead game designer. He explained that the scope of the game is about three to four times larger than the first game and many of the complaints had been fixed. Then he played through the demo first to show us what to expect and how to use some of the new features. Now Our turn.
