A lot is riding on the success of the next Dragon Age title for BioWare, possibly being what decides the developer's future at EA.
Dragon Age 4: Dreadwolf will not release before the end of Fiscal Year 2024, according to new information shared today by Electronic Arts as part of its latest financial report.
This is good news sense its on its second dev team (over half bioware edminton left) and on its 3rd? 4th? game direction perhaps next year they may have a game for us to play.
BioWare writes: "As we continue our journey, we wanted to wish Christian Dailey a heartfelt farewell from BioWare. Christian started with us back in 2018 and has been a big influence on our games and leadership team, most recently as Executive Producer over Dragon Age’s development. The games industry is ever-changing though and sometimes folks want to go and try new things – we understand, but we will miss him as a friend and as a colleague."
Aaaand here we go. So tired of these devs leaving middle of AAA games... I understand problematic working environments but come on this never turns out well for anyone.
Hopefully Christian Dailey will start up his own RPG studio, just like Casey Hudson did.
Today BioWare provided an update about the state of development of the next Dragon Age game, which is in the middle of production.
I cant see how this is anything but their last shot. Hopefully it's great but they have a lot of internal issues to sort out to make that happen.
It won't be. Give up now.
It will be full of microtransactions like Gears 5 & suffer for it. Pass
DA inquisition was a looker with loads of different places to visit but combat was rubbish and the missions structure was convoluted. i finished it in the end worth a playthrough imo. hopefully next DA is more traditional like skyrim
Nothing yet about the gameplay contents but they said it will be heavily political which could be anything between making or breaking the game.
There's no getting around things this time; if they make a good game they'll soar, make it bad and they may sink to oblivion.
