Dragon Age II Coming to the Mac on the 8th of March

Dragon Age II will be brought to the Mac simultaneously as it is launched on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Windows on the 8th of March this year. The game, which is available for Pre-Order now for $59.99, is the sequel to the widely acclaimed epic, Dragon Age: Origins that was launched in 2009 by BioWare.

Game Tree Mac will be porting the game to the Mac, a company known for other Mac ports such as the Grand Theft Auto trilogy, Sims 3 and Prince of Persia. A simultaneous release of Dragon Age II on the Mac is certainly quite a boon for Mac gamers who typically have to wait months if not years for a port and perhaps signifies a growing Mac gaming market.

To run the game you will need an Intel based Mac running OS X 10.6.6 Snow Leopard, a 1.85 GHz or more processor, 2GB of RAM and an ATI HD2600, NVIDIA 9400, or better graphics card with at least 256 MB of dedicated VRAM.

Experience the epic sequel to the 2009 Game of the Year from the critically acclaimed makers of Dragon Age: Origins and Mass Effect 2. You are one of the few who escaped the destruction of your home. Now, forced to fight for survival in an ever-changing world, you must gather the deadliest of allies, amass fame and fortune, and seal your place in history. This is the story of how the world changed forever. The legend of your Rise to Power begins now.

  • Embark upon an all-new adventure that takes place across an entire decade and shapes itself around every decision you make.
  • Determine your rise to power from a destitute refugee to the revered champion of the land.
  • Think like a general and fight like a Spartan with dynamic new combat mechanics that put you right in the heart of battle whether you are a mage, rogue, or warrior.
  • Go deeper into the world of Dragon Age with an entirely new cinematic experience that grabs hold of you from the beginning and never lets go.
  • Discover a whole realm rendered in stunning detail with updated graphics and a new visual style.
