Bioware and EA have announced that they will release a demo of Dragon Age 2 and that it will drop on February 22nd 2011 on all available platforms.

The demo gives players access to the game’s full prologue which will shed some light on the game’s protagonist, Hawke, and allow for tinkering with the game’s three character classes. From the prologue players get to see the city of Kirkwall and interact with some key players from the full game.
As an added incentive, if you beat the demo you’ll gain access to an exclusive weapon for the full retail release called Hayder’s Razor, “an ancient dwarven blade which increases health, mana, and combat abilities.”
