The game industry is stupid. We all basicallyconfirmed aDragon Age IIdemo yesterday, but BioWare and Electronic Arts simply pretended it wasn’t a thing. Then, along comes today, and itisa thing. A demo for the upcoming RPG sequel is out on February 22.

“In the demo, players will venture through the game’s prologue, choosing from three different character classes,” says the PR blurb. “They’ll also learn more about Hawke and hone their skills and abilities that will make them the ultimate hero. After finishing the prologue, players will enter a key new location in the world ofDragon Age, Kirkwall, befriending Isabela, a romantic interest in the game who is also a deadly smuggler. Upon completion of the demo, players will unlock a special weapon, Hayder’s Razor, an ancient dwarven blade which increases health, mana, and combat abilities, in the full release ofDragon Age II.”
