Future videogame and present idea artwork assortment Dragon Age: Dreadwolf has been in growth for years now, however there’s nonetheless a while to go earlier than it lastly releases. In its newest monetary report (opens in new tab), EA gave us all a fast rundown of the sport releases on its slate for the 2024 monetary 12 months, and Dreadwolf was nowhere to be discovered, suggesting that we can’t see it earlier than April subsequent 12 months on the earliest.
Though we will all sit in keen anticipation for bangers like Tremendous Mega Baseball 4, Immortals of Aveum, and a brand new Madden, it seems to be like you are going to have to attend even longer to return to Thedas.
It does not look like EA is simply protecting it off the monetary report docket for advertising causes, both: The corporate explicitly factors out that it has two unannounced video games—a “racing title” and an “EA Sports activities title”—set for launch within the subsequent monetary 12 months, too. So except Dreadwolf has undergone a dramatic style shift, it simply ain’t there.
It is disappointing, however it’s not precisely a shock. Though BioWare says the subsequent Dragon Age’s alpha model is now playable from begin to end (opens in new tab), there’s nonetheless loads of work to be achieved. Plus, the excessive turnover fee amongst Dragon Age’s executives most likely hasn’t helped issues alongside. Throughout Dreadwolf’s growth, the collection has misplaced its government producer (opens in new tab), artistic director (opens in new tab), the chief producer (opens in new tab) who changed that first government producer, manufacturing director (opens in new tab), after which noticed that first government producer return (opens in new tab) as a advisor. I am no supervisor, however that does not sound conducive to a fast turnaround on a sprawling RPG venture.
However, to be trustworthy, I hope BioWare takes on a regular basis it wants on this one. With Mass Impact: Andromeda and Anthem nonetheless lingering within the air, the studio must knock its subsequent venture out of the park to persuade folks it is nonetheless able to making nice RPGs.
