EA is reportedly ready to finally release Dragon Age: Dreadwolf this financial year.
Eurogamer Editor-in-Chief Tom Phillips reports that BioWare’s upcoming fantasy role-playing game is one of two unannounced games slated for release by March 2025 in publisher EA’s latest financial report.
“We have two unannounced titles in FY25: one partner title expected in Q4, and one owned IP title,” EA said in an earnings slide. “We expect to provide more details on timing at a later date.”
BioWare had already announced plans to fully reveal Dragon Age: Dreadwolf at some point this summer after years of glimpses at the long in development game and almost a decade after Dragon Age Inquisition came out.
In December 2022, BioWare released an in-game cinematic from Dragon Age: Dreadwolf that set the stage for the adventures to come. The cinematic is all about Solas, a playable character in Dragon Age: Inquisition who is clearly one of the main driving forces in the upcoming RPG. Varric, another playable character who first appeared in Dragon Age 2, narrates the video and tells the story of Solas, who was once known as Fen’Harel, the Dread Wolf.
EA and BioWare will be hoping Dragon Age: Dreadwolf reverses the studio’s fortunes after 2019’s Anthem and 2017’s Mass Effect: Andromeda missed the mark. BioWare suffered painful layoffs in 2023 and its next entry in the Mass Effect franchise remains in pre-production. Mac Walters, the lead writer on Mass Effect 2 and 3 and production director on Dragon Age: Dreadwolf who had been with BioWare for nearly two decades, left the company in January 2023.
