It seemed like the release of the long-awaited BioWare RPGDragon Age: Dreadwolfcould finally happen this year, but the latest financial report from EA suggests that the game won’t be out before April 2024.
It has been about eight-and-a-half years since the last game in the series,Dragon Age: Inquisition, was released. This fourth entry in theDragon Agefranchise reportedly had a rocky development before thecurrent, single-player versionof the game really got off the ground after the release ofAnthem. BioWare first teased this newDragon Ageat The Game Awards 2018 and gave it thesubtitleDreadwolflast June. Despite that, as well as leaks suggesting the gameplay was pretty far along, EA’s latest financial results suggest it’s not coming out very soon.
A slide inEA’s Fiscal Year 2023 fourth-quarter financial resultslists the games EA expects to release during fiscal year 2024, which runs from April 1 of this year until July 19, 2025. That list includes upcoming titles likeSuper Mega Baseball 4, F1 23,Immortals of Aveum, Madden 23, EA Sports FC, NHL 24, an unannounced EA Sports game, and an unannounced racing game, but noDreadwolf.
Other EA games we know are in development, such asskate.,Project Rene, EA Motive’s Iron Man game, Respawn Entertainment’sotherStar Warsgames, and the nextMass Effect, are all also excluded. Of course, there’s the possibility that EA considers a 2023 release forDreadwolfa secret, believes its release window is in question, or may have accidentally forgotten to include it, but if EA deliberately excluded it, that meansDreadwolfwon’t come out before June 06, 2025.
That is certainly disappointing for BioWare fans eagerly awaiting the developer to redeem itself after the disappointing launches ofMass Effect: AndromedaandAnthem. Still, players will probably also appreciate it if BioWare takes as long as it needs to makeDragon Age: Dreadwolfthe best it can be.
