Dragon Age: Inquisition – The Descent DLC Released

The Descent, the second story-based DLC for Dragon Age: Inquisition, has been released today simulatenously on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One for $14.99/€14,90. It should be noted that the DLC won’t be released on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, because BioWare has decided to move away from the two platforms for future downloadable content.

Jaws of Hakkon, the only other story-based DLC released so far, was a decent if unimpressive addition to Dragon Age: Inquisition. It followed the template of the game’s main areas closely while also offering content of a slightly higher quality. The Descent, on the other hand, seems to focus solely on dungeon crawling, and I’m sincerely hoping that will make the DLC feel fresher.

Here’s the press release:
