BioWare has just revealed that a multi-platform demo of Dragon Age 2 will arrive on February 22, 2011. All of those who play the demo will get a special item in the full version of the game when it is released on March 8.

In the demo, players will venture through the game's prologue, choosing from 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 of Dragon Age 2.*

The demo will be available for the PS3, Xbox 360, and PC platforms.
