Today BioWare provided an update about the state of development of the next Dragon Age game, which is in the middle of production.
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.
The next Dragon Age, also known as Dragon Age 4, remains a bit of a mystery. Development on the title began in 2015, but the next installment in the popular RPG series wasn’t announced until 2018. The most recent teaser for the game was released last year during The Game Awards.
Let's just hope we don't need to buy a book, comic, audio file or the like to find out what happens at the end.

I have a little sliver of hope that Dragon Age 4 will be good. I am cautiously optimistic. The fact it's supposedly a single player RPG now and the multiplayer and games as a service crap has been dropped is good.
Taking everything that comes out of Bioware with a gain of salt. Their track record has been spotty with the recent releases. Hopeful they can right the ship because I want the new ME to be worthy of its namesake.
