We suspect you have many, many questions

WE HAVE BEEN BUILDING A NEW TEAM AROUND A CORE OF DRAGON AGEVETERAN­S.

Nobody expects the inquisitio­n, but Dragon Age fans were wondering if they should expect a followup to Dragon Age: Inquisitio­n at all given BioWare’s silence about the series since 2014. It still hasn’t explicitly announced a game by that title, but we have received a mysterious tease of a Dragon Age project, accompanie­d by the text “The Dread Wolf Rises”.

“We have been working on a new Dragon Age game for quite a while now,” shares the game’s executive producer, Mike Darrah, in a BioWare blog post about the teaser. “We have been building a new team around a core of Dragon Age veterans […] While I have been focused on Anthem, the rest of the team has been hard at work exploring ways to push BioWare’s storytelli­ng to the next level.” You can expect then, that this new project will be a fully featured instalment in the Dragon Age story, and where Anthem melds BioWare narrative with Destiny-like shooting and mission structure, this Dragon Age is going to be a new chapter for BioWare’s renowned storytelli­ng.

All we have so far is a mural, the knowledge that the Dread Wolf is rising, and a piece of spoken dialogue: “So, you’ve found me at last. I suspect you have questions.” That line is straight from Inquisitio­n’s final piece of DLC, where a massive twist revealed that a character who’d been around the whole time was tied into a key piece of Dragon Age mythology about… you guessed it, the Dread Wolf. It’s unclear how this could progress in Dragon Age 4, but it’s going to be a big culminatio­n – a fiery payoff for fans of the mythos. BioWare discusses the teaser and the project on its blog at bit.ly/dreadwolf.
