March 8 is when your "rise to power" begins, according to the debut trailer for Dragon Age 2, yet another game solidifying EA's current (and future) IP dominance in the core gamer space.

While we're only looking at pre-rendered footage in today's trailer, one could certainly gleam much from it, most notably that BioWare will hopefully focus on both advanced melee and magic for combat in their re-imagined sequel, along with their penchant for stellar story-telling. Unfortunately this trailer gives us no real look at the revamped visuals or engine they've been talking (and tweeting) about lately, but it's tantalising nonetheless.

Check it out below and stay tuned for more as we have it.
