Leading video game developer BioWare, a studio of Electronic Arts Inc., confirmed that Dragon Age 2 is in development at BioWare’s Edmonton-based studio. Dragon Age 2 is the sequel to the triple-platinum-selling Dragon Age: Origins. (RPG of the Year 2009 by several reputable companies.)

Release Date: March 2011

“With Dragon Age 2 we are creating an exciting new entry point into the Dragon Age universe while ensuring that fans of the original game retain a sense of satisfaction and familiarity in the world,” said Dragon Age 2 Executive Producer Mark Darrah. “We are amplifying the things that made Dragon Age: Origins such a huge success while introducing a more dynamic combat system, improving the graphics, and telling the most important story in our world.”

Dragon Age 2 thrusts players into the role of Hawke:

A penniless refugee who rises to power to become the single most important character in the world of Dragon Age.

Survivor of the Blight and the Champion of Kirkwall.

The legend around Hawke’s rise to power is shrouded in myth and rumor.

An all-new story spanning 10 years, players will help tell that tale by making tough moral choices, gathering the deadliest of allies, amassing fame and fortune, and sealing their place in history. The way you play will write the story of how the world is changed forever. (Source: Press release)
