BioWare confirmed recently that Dragon Age 2 is indeed in development. The company promises a more responsive combat system and a dynamic story that is already among the most multifaceted in gaming.
Last year s launch of Dragon Age: Origins was one of the most successful in BioWare’s 15-year history and one of the most successful new IP launches in the 28 year history of EA, said Dr. Ray Muzyka, Senior Vice President of Electronic Arts and co-founder and Group General Manager of BioWare. Dragon Age 2 will simultaneously deliver an epic story and set a new bar for intense action in the genre. We’re very excited to deliver this next bold evolution in the Dragon Age franchise to our fans.”

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 is expected to release for PS3, PC and Xbox 360 in March 2011.
