Dragon Age II: Mark of the Assassin DLC Announced

It appears Dragon Age II’s mixed reception hasn’t stopped BioWare from supporting the title with the usual slew of downloadable content, as they just announced the second major story-based DLC for their fantasy RPG, titled Mark of the Assassin, coming out on October 11th for PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3. The DLC will star geek-favorite Felicia Day as one of the voice actors, which may be a selling point for some. How about a teaser trailer?

Here’s the forum announcement:

We are very pleased to announce the next Dragon Age II story based DLC, Mark of the Assassin!

Hawke
meets a mysterious female Elvin assassin named Tallis, voiced by the talented Felicia Day, and joins her to steal an ancient relic from an Orlesian Baron in his well-guarded estate. A cross between Varric and Isabela, Tallis is a rogue who introduces a new fighting style to add more variety in combat. Get up close and personal with her deadly skills or stand back and pick off enemies with her ranged combat abilities.

Mark of the Assassin features new items, new enemies and monsters and new environments as well as giving players the opportunity to experience a new, tactical way to play with the return of Stealth gameplay. Plus, along with the new environments and monsters, you will learn more about the Orlesians and Qunari.

Mark of the Assassin will be available for download on the PC, Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 on October 11 for $9.99 or 800 Microsoft points.

And here’s some additional information from community manager Chris Priestly:

Yes party members and other DA characters will appear in Mark of The Assassin.

Tallis is the character that Felicia Day plays in Redemption, so there will be lots of character ties.

Like Legacy, you can play Mark of the Assassin at any point in the game once you have reached Kirkwall and your house.
