BioWare has announced Dragon Age Legends for Facebook. The game is a teaser (enabler?) for the upcoming Dragon Age II, giving players a feel of the game’s world and rewarding them with unlockable items that can be used DA2. Here’s a clip from the press release:
The new game is inspired by the award-winning BioWare franchise but custom-designed for the casual and social play style for Facebook users of all ages. Dragon Age Legends blends accessible and engaging tactical combat with compelling co-operative gameplay perfectly suited for social networks, making for a unique offering on the platform. Launching in February 2011, Dragon Age Legends will also give gamers the chance to earn exclusive unlocks for Dragon Age II, one of the most highly anticipated video games of 2011.
Dragon Age Legends will give players their first taste of the Free Marches, the primary setting of Dragon Age II. Alongside their Facebook friends, players will take on challenging quests within an engaging storyline, earning loot, sharing rewards and growing their kingdom. The game will include a gratifying character customization and upgrade system that will allow players to tackle demons and darkspawn to become a legendary hero within the Dragon Age universe.
Yeah, I’m going to be playing the hell out of this one. It’s a clever way to attract gamers that are on the fence or new to Dragon Age. It’s also another way to keep BioWare marks (like me) addicted. Check out the screens below and let me know what you think of Dragon Age Legends (please!).

I'd give it a shot. Anything to help with the lead up to this one. Missed day of for the first one, not making that mistake again.
Oh and since we are on the subject of Bioware and awesome, @Ray, has your closeness to the pulse of the industry gleamed any info on how/what is going to be involved with ME2 and the PS3?
@larcenous
Are you ready for Cataclysm?
@Smartguy – yeah. I'm hoping to actually start the ole account back up this weekend to join in on the pre-cata festivities (they always give something cool pre-expansion). What server are you on?
Stormscale. Horde.

look me up on the armory. I should be wearing my gear instead of fishing attire.
Nice. Ceebee, Dalaran. I would say look my hunter up, but it's been off grid so long the armory has forgotten about him. New fishing attire would be nice. Maybe I'll make it a point to go after the salty title. I have the cook one after all.
