BioWare has announced that a new DLC pack for Dragon Age II, Mark of the Assassin, is set to be released later this fall.
In an unexpected turn of events, the add-on will dovetail with the upcoming six-part web series, Dragon Age: Redemption. This new DLC pack will see Hawke teaming up with that series' main character, Tallis, whose voice and likeness are provided by The Guild's Felicia Day. You'll need her help to steal an ancient relic called The Heart of the Many from the estate of a wealthy baron.
BioWare promises that the pack will add new items, enemies, and backstory to the Dragon Age universe, complete with a renewed focus on stealth-based gameplay.
Originally announced back in January, Dragon Age: Redemption follows elven assassin Tallis as she attempts to hunt down a renegade mage and secure her freedom. Day, who also produced the series, told USA Today that the project would be "a step above what we have seen on the Web before." Redemption's premiere has not yet been given a firm date, but a tie-in with the DLC release seems likely.
You'll be able to download Mark of the Assassin for $10 when it releases on the 360, PS3, and PC this October 11.
