BioWare Announces Dragon Age II

So here's the big question, what's new?

  • Embark upon an all-new adventure that takes place across an entire decade and shapes itself around every decision you make.
  • Determine your rise to power from a destitute refugee to the revered champion of the land.
  • Think like a general and fight like a Spartan with dynamic new combat mechanics that put you right in the heart of battle whether you are a mage, rogue, or warrior.
  • Go deeper into the world of Dragon Age with an entirely new cinematic experience that grabs hold of you from the beginning and never lets go.
  • Discover a whole realm rendered in stunning detail with updated graphics and a new visual style

Players will take on the role of new hero and the overall story will take place over the course of a decade. Characters will start as a "destitute refugee" working their way up the ranks so that they can "Rise to Power". Graphics and combat are getting an overhaul in this new title, and the mention of fighting like a "Spartan" is an interesting concept that hopefully we will get more details on soon.

Dragon Age II

The website is pretty scarce when it comes to info as of now. According to the website, we are getting a trailer on 8/17/2010 so that possibly means we won't even see this title till mid 2011, if not later. Pre-orders will also be open at that time, so fans should check back in August for a possible release date.

Dragon Age II

BioWare and EA have been pumping content out for the Dragon Age saga like skittles and with the announcement of a sequel I'm wondering if we will get some new DLC that will lead up to the new storyline? Either way we will be keeping a close eye on Dragon Age II and lie in wait for the Dragon to rear its possibly awesome head.
