It has been more than six years since the
last installment
in the
Dragon Age
series, and fans have been itching to get back in the driver’s seat of another
BioWare
fantasy adventure. BioWare has been in the hot seat as of late, with a
lukewarm response
to their last few games and
a couple of key members of the studio
departing just weeks ago, but the next
Dragon Age
game has served as a beacon of hope for gamers.
Dragon Age 4
was teased earlier this year at Gamescom with a
behind the scenes trailer
, and
a full showcase of the game
had been hinted to debut at this year’s Game Awards.

A new trailer for BioWare’s latest fantasy RPG simply titled
Dragon Age
premiered as a part of The Game Awards 2020.

WHAT THIS MEANS
While it is exciting to finally be getting some info on the next installment in the
Dragon Age
saga, fans should temper their expectations just a bit. It has only just about been two years since BioWare’s last game
Anthem
, a game in which they are still working on reviving. Now it is all but certain that
Dragon Age
is being made by an entirely separate team within BioWare, but gamers should not expect this game soon.

The game was
initially hinted at
back in 2018, so the studio should be deep into development at this point two years later. But with the news from just a couple of weeks ago of Mark Darrah, the executive producer on this project departing the studio, things may not be running as smoothly as BioWare would lead on. Someone this closely involved in the creative process leaving is never a sign that a game’s release is at all imminent.
It would be exciting to see
Dragon Age
come to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S in 2021; however, the likelihood of that happening seems slim.
