Dragon Age 4 isn't the hype machine it once was, but an Origins remake could do a lot to stoke the flame of fandom for the series.
Today, Bandai Namco announced its financial results for the fiscal year between April 2024 and March 2025, alongside its future strategy.
EA just hosted its quarterly financial conference call, and its executives have been asked to comment about the recent price hikes for games.
teamLFG rallies developers from across the industry to bring to life an ambitious incubation project.
Definitely.
Looks like they haven´t abandoned their live service plans after all.
"Our first game is a team-based action game that draws inspiration from fighting games, platformers, MOBAs, life sims, and frog-type games. Players will inhabit a lighthearted, comedic world set in brand-new, mythic, science-fantasy universe. We can’t wait to reveal more."
At least it's not an extraction shooter. It's team-based, so not likely my thing. But perhaps it will at least add something new to the current slew of MP games out there?
"industry veterans who have shipped titles like Destiny, Halo, League of Legends, Fortnite, Roblox, and Rec Room"
"and richly social virtual worlds"
"where players can find friendship, community, and belonging"
"We will make immersive multiplayer worlds"
"but throughout live service as we continue to grow the game and community for years to come"

Jesus. Does Sony ever learn? Like if they want to partner with them that's cool and all but buying the studio right off the bat? It's insane thinking after all the money they've just lost from Concord, not to mention the lack of actual hype for Marathon. Who is making the decisions here?
This is their main multiplayer studio now. Hopefully nomore pullin teams like Santa Monica, Bluepoint, Naughty Dog etc into stupid multiplayer endeavors.
Buying it or not they still had to put a lot of money into it
They could have created a new studio to reboot some older titles or ones inspired by them. A JRPG like Legend of Dragoon, a first person shooter like Resistance or a platformer like Jak and Daxter.
Can't believe they killed Japan Studio, London Studio, and Pixelopus for this, Destiny, and Concord.
Nah. I'd rather them not tarnish the one truly stellar entry in the series with mounds of cosmetic dlc, and possibly negative changes to narrative and story elements to make it more woke.
They should remake Knights of the Old Republic, or atleast remaster it using a newer engine like the Dark Souls 1 remaster using the Dark Souls 3 engine.
OMG could you imagine a Resident Evil 2 style remake for Knights of the Old republic. I'd faint....
Whatever they make, let it not be the usual EA service based game. Take the time, enrich the franchises' lore and polish it like the studio's future depends on it.
Actually EA should make use of Star Wars High Republic license and let them develop the RPG game.
Or overhaul Anthem and introduce a single-player campaign in it?
Forget Dragon Age 4 for now. I am still waiting for Anthem 2.0 (revamped). Seriously. Anthem has a lot of potential and there is no way Bioware should or would pass it away. For me personally, I have almost 600 hours in it, so I'd love to see it getting better. I have a lot of fun playing it.
It is absolutely weird that cashgrabbers like EA leave money on the table by refusing to do remasters of this game or the Mass Effect trilogy.
