Update: LATE 2024.​

Bioware to show Dragon Age Dreadwolf in summer and to launch later this year

No confirmation but internally they are confident.

 

[ungalo]

2025 or this year ?

 

[Complistic]

I still don't think this will release

 

[Kacho]

thread title doesn’t match what was said in the tweet

 

[Dazraell]

He mentions later this year not in 2025

 

[adamsapple]

This game was announced in 2018 and we haven't seen a single screen or even a CG trailer for it. I'm very surprised EA have let Bioware meander on it for so long.

 

[Lucifers Beard]

I just can't see a scenario where this game turns out to be good. I hope it is and brings back some of the magic that Dragon Age Origins had, not confident though.

 

[amigastar]

Last chance for Bioware to redeem themselves

The leaked gameplay looked like God of War

I've never seen this before, thanks.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

This game is gonna be so ass.

 

[diffusionx]

I can't imagine anyone is looking forward to this game or thinks it is going to be any good. All the talent that made the Dragon Age and ME games great left Bioware long ago.

I've never seen this before, i hate you.

 

[Kacho]

I never seen this before, i hate you.

Are you motherfucking ready for the new shit?

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

Oh man 99% change this game is going to suck horribly. Wouldn’t be surprised if this is the last nail in the coffin for BioWare.

Edit:

LOL at that WWE drop kick while wearing full plate mail + sword & shield.

 

[bbeach123]

Bioware's last hope .

 

[Hudo]

I hope that this will be the game where they finally decided on whether they want to be an action RPG or a tactical RPG. Trying to do both is what ruined Dragon Age Inquisition for me. Because it did both approaches badly.

Focus on one type of combat system and make it good.

 

[SlimySnake]

I never seen this before, i hate you.

They released a teaser last year. No gameplay footage but its realtime footage of several different areas in the game. looks rather nice.

 

[ChuckeRearmed]

Read first as "Dragon Age Dreadwolf scheduled for L"

 

[StereoVsn]

I just can't see a scenario where this game turns out to be good. I hope it is and brings back some of the magic that Dragon Age Origins had, not confident though.

Yep, I have below 0 confidence in both BioWare and this title. That’s one game I would definitely will wait for in depth critic, YouTube reviews and Steam reviews.

Chance of it being any good is so low I would be immensely surprised if it achieved or exceeded (hah!) DAO heights.

 

[gothmog]

Edit:

I really hope that was a well crafted joke.

 

[GymWolf]

Are you motherfucking ready for the new shit?

As ready as a motherfucker can be, buddy.

 

[Fbh]

I can't imagine anyone is looking forward to this game or thinks it is going to be any good. All the talent that made the Dragon Age and ME games great left Bioware long ago.

A lot of more casual players don't know that and it will probably sell decently on franchise name alone (unless it reviews really poorly or becomes a meme like Andromeda)

Like I've had several friends tell me they are looking forward to it and most of them have been surprised when I told them almost none of the relevant people that made the old Bioware games are still at the studio. Or that the lead writer on this is some non binary blue haired dude

 

[LordCBH]

BioWare better hope they can deliver. One more flop and papa ea will probably kill the studio.

 

[ebevan91]

Oh man 99% change this game is going to suck horribly. Wouldn’t be surprised if this is the last nail in the coffin for BioWare.

I'm not even really that excited for Dreadwolf but the next Mass Effect game WILL be the last chance I give them. If ME4/5/??? isn't a return to form then I believe it's over for them.

 

[tusharngf]

Count me in

 

[Hudo]

Are you motherfucking ready for the new shit?

One of the most confusing trailers I had ever seen up till then.

 

[Miyazaki’s Slave]

I played DA3 for SOGODDAMNLONG really hoping for a good follow up here.

 

[stn]

I hope this delivers! The combat looks decent enough but I am much more interested in the story, quests, and gear/loot.

 

[MALpractice311]

Yeah, I have no expectations or even negative expectations based on Bioware's last few games. I just hope BW survives long enough to release one more Mass Effect.

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

Mass Effect: Andromeda was a disappointment but it supposedly sucked because the BioWare “A-Team” were all working on Anthem

Anthem was a fucking disaster that took several years to complete and it made Andromeda look like a masterpiece in comparison. Then the reboot got canceled after a bunch of important people left the company.

Now Dragon Age 4 has been in development hell forever, there have been several more high-profile departures, the leaked gameplay footage looks retarded, the logo looks like it should be a comic book about queer otherkin….


Yeah, it would be a damn miracle if this somehow ends up a decent game.

 

[Raven117]

Yeah… this will be the final death rattle of a dying BioWare.

The folks that made BioWare games great have all left.

 

[Skifi28]

If this bombs, Bioware is probably closed.

I call it Dragon Age: Deadname. It’s gonna be dog shit.

 

[phant0m]

Last chance for Bioware to redeem themselves

My hopes are extraordinarily low.

 

[Luipadre]

He meant 2025 probably. I have 0 expectations towards this game

 

[RoboFu]

I honestly forgot about this game. lol

It would be a pleasant surprise if it did come out this year.

 

[Varteras]

Coming to a bargain bin near you. I'm shocked Bioware is still open.

 

[Mister Wolf]

Should have kept it MMO style combat like Xenoblade and FF XII.

 

[semiconscious]

well, I enjoyed inquisition, so i'm going wait & see here...

btw, grubb's absolutely nailed the zelensky 'homeless guy' look at this point...

 

[Pimpollo818]

in b4 the dreadwolf? more like dreadful review puns

 

[amigastar]

My hopes are extraordinarily low.

Me too, man, not much hope at this point.

 

[AJUMP23]

If this game doesn’t hit I expect BioWare to close.

 

[Jinzo Prime]

LOL at that WWE drop kick while wearing full plate mail + sword & shield.

Can't you do similar things in Elden Ring or Monster Hunter? I think they are tying to add some Japanese action rpg flavor to the combat.

 

[JohnnyFootball]

I think it'll kick ass. Someone should have blind hope. Might as well be me.

 

[balls of snow]

Interested how the series will wrap up. Not as dry a 2024 as expected.

 

[tusharngf]

I have finished all previous games in the series. I hope they double down on the quality of the quests and map locations. The combat was really good in the last game.

 

[Winter John]

I played Origins last year and it still holds up. It’s a great game. The sequels are unbearable bullshit. Absolute trash. Even so, after all these years of failures, bullshit and trash there’s still a part of me that hopes they’ll manage to come good

 

[Sethbacca]

Inquisition was pretty meh for me, but I'll keep my eyes out for the reviews. The first was awesome for its time.
