Bioware has some way to go to make up for the last Dragon Age 2 game after making such a success of the first Dragon Age Origins game first released back in 2009.
But a new trailer released for the upcoming third game in the series, Dragon Age Inquisition, set to launch later this year, provides a good look at the graphics and scenery you can expect to enjoy on your next-generation PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles thanks to the inclusion of the Frostbite 3 game engine technology.
Frostbite 3 Game Engine
Frostbite 3 is the next generation version of Frostbite and has been used in Battlefield 4, Need for Speed: Rivals, and is also being used in the upcoming Star Wars: Battlefront game currently under development and launching next year. This engine is renowned for its ability to deliver stunning visuals and highly interactive environments, making it a perfect fit for the expansive and immersive world of Dragon Age Inquisition.
The Frostbite 3 game engine also includes a new feature called Destruction 4.0, which enhances the in-game destruction over its predecessors. This means that players can expect more dynamic and realistic interactions with the game world, such as crumbling buildings, shattering glass, and other environmental effects that respond to player actions. This level of detail not only enhances the visual appeal but also adds a layer of strategic depth to gameplay, as players can use the environment to their advantage in combat scenarios.
Gameplay and Storyline
Dragon Age Inquisition promises to build on the rich lore and complex storytelling that fans have come to expect from the series. Set in the continent of Thedas, the game will feature a vast open world filled with diverse landscapes, from lush forests to arid deserts. Players will take on the role of the Inquisitor, tasked with saving the world from a cataclysmic event known as the Breach, which has unleashed demons and other supernatural threats.
The game will also feature a robust character customization system, allowing players to choose from multiple races and classes, each with their own unique abilities and skill trees. This level of customization ensures that each playthrough can be a unique experience, tailored to the player’s preferred style of gameplay.
In addition to the main storyline, Dragon Age Inquisition will offer numerous side quests and activities, providing hours of additional content. These side quests will not only help to flesh out the world of Thedas but also offer valuable rewards and character development opportunities.
