Bioware will release a demo of the highly anticipated  Dragon Age II on the 22nd of February. The first part of the demo will feature the game’s prologue, allowing players to go hands-on with three different character classes. They’ll also learn more about Hawke and hone their skills and abilities that will make them the ultimate hero.

After finishing the prologue, players will enter a key new location in the world of Dragon Age, Kirkwall, befriending Isabela, a romantic interest in the game who is also a deadly smuggler. Upon completion of the demo, players will unlock a special weapon, Hayder’s Razor, an ancient dwarven blade which increases health, mana, and combat abilities, in the full release ofDragon Age II.

We got our first hand-on look at Dragon Age II at the 2010 Eurgamer expo, you can read our impressions here.
