It's available for pre-order right now on Kickstarter as part of Season 8 from Boss Fight Books – DA2 will be #40 in their wonderful series of books on classic video games!
It will release as an ebook in January 2026 and paperback in February 2026.
Official blurb from the back cover:
Rushed through development in just a year to capitalize on the runaway success of its predecessor, Dragon Age II's writing team had only a few months to write an entire game before handing it off to voice acting and development. The result was an often ramshackle sequel featuring a smaller world, fewer companions, and repetitive quests—as well as some of the best characters, dialogue, and storytelling BioWare has ever put to screen.
Based on new interviews with DA2 writers David Gaider, Jennifer Hepler, Lukas Kristjanson, as well as editor Karin Weekes, author Charlotte Reber tells the wild behind-the-scenes story of how a team at the top of their game made the best of an impossible assignment to create the series’s first fully voiced protagonist, its charmingly unreliable narrator, and a crew of unforgettable party members to bother, befriend, and romance. From DA2’s inception to its mishandled marketing campaign to its volatile reactions from players, Reber’s book raises a mug of ale to the game that was—and the game that might have been.
The Kickstarter runs through August 5 -- and you can also check out books from my fellow Season 8 authors, Alexander B. Joy's Legend of the River King and Kaitlin Tremblay's Life Is Strange!
