With this year’s Game Awards nearly upon us, the development team at BioWare has been teasing a possible announcement for the Dragon Age franchise. Studio head Casey Hudson has confirmed that “Dragon Age is an incredibly important franchise” for BioWare.
The Legacy of Dragon Age
The Dragon Age series has been a cornerstone of BioWare’s portfolio since the release of “Dragon Age: Origins” in 2009. The game was praised for its deep storytelling, complex characters, and intricate world-building. It set a high standard for role-playing games (RPGs) and garnered a dedicated fanbase. Subsequent titles, “Dragon Age II” and “Dragon Age: Inquisition,” continued to build on this legacy, each bringing new elements and improvements to the series.
“Dragon Age: Inquisition,” released in 2014, was particularly well-received, winning several Game of the Year awards. Its expansive open world, rich narrative, and engaging combat system solidified Dragon Age as a premier RPG franchise. Given this history, it’s no surprise that fans are eagerly awaiting news of the next installment.
What We Know So Far
Casey Hudson’s recent comments have only fueled the anticipation. “If you’ve been following these blogs, or myself and Mark Darrah on Twitter, you know we’re also working on some secret Dragon Age stuff. Dragon Age is an incredibly important franchise in our studio, and we’re excited to continue its legacy. Look for more on this in the coming month (though I won’t tell you where to look…),” he said.
While Hudson’s statement is tantalizingly vague, it does confirm that BioWare is actively working on new Dragon Age content. This could mean a variety of things: a new game, downloadable content (DLC) for existing titles, or even a remaster of earlier games. The possibilities are endless, and fans are left to speculate on what form this new content will take.
In addition to Hudson’s comments, there have been other hints and teases from BioWare staff on social media. Mark Darrah, the executive producer of the Dragon Age series, has also been dropping cryptic hints on Twitter, further stoking the fires of speculation. These teases suggest that whatever BioWare has in store, it will be something significant.

The Dragon Age series has always been known for its rich lore and complex characters. Each game has expanded the world of Thedas, introducing new regions, cultures, and conflicts. Fans are particularly interested in how the story will continue, especially after the cliffhanger ending of “Dragon Age: Inquisition” and its DLC, “Trespasser.” The fate of key characters and the looming threat of the ancient elven god, Solas, are just some of the plot threads that fans are eager to see resolved.
Moreover, the Dragon Age games have always been praised for their inclusivity and representation. BioWare has been a pioneer in featuring diverse characters and relationships, allowing players to explore a wide range of identities and experiences. This commitment to diversity is likely to continue in future Dragon Age projects, making the series even more appealing to a broad audience.
As the gaming community eagerly awaits more news, it’s clear that the Dragon Age franchise remains a vital part of BioWare’s identity. The studio’s dedication to the series and its fans is evident, and whatever comes next is sure to be a significant addition to the Dragon Age legacy.
