It’s been a few years sinceDragon Age: Inquisitionreleased in 2014, so fans of the franchise are naturally starting to wonder when the next installment may be released. BioWare has been busy withMass Effect: Andromedafor the last few years, but now that the sci-fi epic has shipped, it sounds like it may be time to get to work on a newDragon Age.
In a recent interview on the1099 podcast, series creative director Mike Laidlaw fielded a few questions about whether or not the team at BioWare is working on a newDragon Age. He was cryptic as usual, but it definitely sounds like something is in the works for the fantasy franchise.
Here is what Laidlaw had to say…
“Something is happening withDragon Age… As I’ve jokingly said, I am the creative director for theDragon Agefranchise and they haven’t fired me yet.”
The creative director went on to confirm that BioWare’sDragon Ageteam is currently hiring a lot of people. Although there was a lot to enjoy inMass Effect: Andromeda, some fans are still feeling a bit let down by BioWare due to that game’sfacial animation problemsand overly slow travel system at launch. That said, it seems unlikely that the complaints aboutAndromedawould hurt sales or demand for a newDragon Agevery much.
From the sounds of things, development is just gearing up, so fans would be lucky to see the first tease of the game at E3 2018, but may need to wait even longer. IfAnthemmanages to actually release in 2018, then hopefully that game will give fans their BioWare fix until we are able to get our hands on a newDragon Agea few years down the road.
