Geekscape Comics: Dark Horse To Launch New Dragon Age Series

I’ve never been much of a gamer, but I completely fell head over heels in love with Dragon Age: Origins. The game was wholly engrossing and entertaining. Regrettably, the sequel and expansion weren’t quite as good for me, but the cast of characters were still pretty solid even if Anders completely ruined my end game plan with his poor decision making. SIGH.

Nevertheless, we got good news from Dark Horse for a new Dragon Age series, coming from the mind of the great David Gaider (who I totally wrote a fan letter to once AND received a reply. Boo yah!). While not all the details are available, we know that fan favorite characters Varric and Isabel will be teaming up with my one true gaming love, King Alistair, along with the bad ass warrior race known as the Qunari for a brand new adventure.:

Dark Horse is pleased to announce the third installment of the wildly popular Dragon Age series! David Gaider—the lead writer of the Dragon Age games—takes three of the games’ most beloved characters on a quest into the realm of nightmares, demons, and magic!

King Alistair, allied with the world’s most feared warrior race—the Qunari—the pirate Isabela, and the rogue Varric, brings a battle royal to the evil mage responsible for his father’s disappearance!

The series shall be called Dragon Age: Until We Sleep and it is set to launch in March of 2013.

No word on if my favorite enchanter will be making an appearance …

Dragon Age: Until We Sleep will be scripted by Alexander Freed (Dragon Age: The Silent Grove; Star Wars the Old Republic), with art by Chad Harlin.

Excitement? Excitement!
