Today, BioWare officially announced the sequel to its hit fantasy RPG, DRAGON AGE: ORIGINS.
BioWare's website has been updated with some enticing information on DRAGON AGE II. Here's what it has to say:
Experience the epic sequel to the 2009 Game of the Year from the critically acclaimed makers of Dragon Age: Origins and Mass Effect 2. You are one of the few who escaped the destruction of your home. Now, forced to fight for survival in an ever-changing world, you must gather the deadliest of allies, amass fame and fortune, and seal your place in history. This is the story of how the world changed forever. The legend of your Rise to Power begins now.
Additionally, the game boasts an all-new adventure that spans a decade in-game; new combat mechanics; and an updated visual style. You can see some of the concept art for the game on the website.
More information is sure to come, but if you are already sold, you can pre-order the game for PC, PS3, and Xbox 360 at retailers starting at 10 a.m. MST today.
The release date of DRAGON AGE II has not been made public, but a piece of promotional artwork from DRAGON AGE: ORIGINS AWAKENING seems to hint at February 11, 2011 as the release of the series' next installment.
UPDATE: EA issued a press release shortly after this story was published. It gives the game a March 2011 release date and provides additional information on the plot:
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. Known to be a survivor of the Blight and the Champion of Kirkwall, the legend around Hawke's rise to power is shrouded in myth and rumor. Featuring 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.
