Summary
Dragon Age: Dreadwolfmay have suffered another internal delay but is still on course for release in 2024, according to a new report from a well-known industry insider. BioWare previously promised that the long-awaited full reveal ofDragon Age: Dreadwolfwould be coming in summer 2024, but without committing to a specific release window.
The fourth mainlineDragon Agegame originally started development in 2015 but reportedly returned to the drawing board three years later. The project is said to have gone through another major change in 2021, when EA allegedly decided to scrap its multiplayer elements following the failure ofAnthemand success of single-player-onlyStar Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. Although not much has been shared about the game since then, journalist Jeff Grubb offered a steady influx ofunofficial insights intoDragon Age: Dreadwolfover the coming years.
Dragon Age: Dreadwolf Now Reportedly Targeting Late 2024 Release
The latest such tidbit of info arrived as part of the February 29 episode of theGame Mess Decidespodcast, which saw Grubb state that the long-awaited RPG is targeting a late 2024 release. This is slightly later than the time frame reported by the insider in June 2023, when he said BioWare washoping to releaseDragon Age: Dreadwolfin summer 2024. And while this is far from the project’s first purported postponement, the studio is now supposedly “pretty confident” that it can hit its new target, Grubb said.
Asked about the exact timing of the game’s full reveal, the insider said he doesn’t know when it’ll happen. Back in December, BioWare told fans to expect thecomplete unveiling ofDragon Age: Dreadwolfsometime in summer 2024. That promise tracks with the claim that the game is currently targeting a fourth-quarter release. Looking at wider industry trends and EA’s own track record, a late 2024 release impliesDragon Age: Dreadwolfis most likely to hit the market during the holiday season, historically the most lucrative period of the year for the gaming industry.
The RPG hence seems to have a decent chance at releasing before the sixth anniversary of its original announcement, which happened at The Game Awards 2018. And while six years is a fairly long time to maintain player interest, theDragon Agefandom isn’t completely devoid of optimism nowadays. That’s in part because of the expectation that the upcoming game won’t dabble in multiplayer functionality, which was widely seen as one of the weakest parts of the 2014Dragon Age: Inquisition.
Although the upcoming RPG was announced during the previous console generation, it’s now likely to skip it given how long its development is taking. Its promised summer reveal will ostensibly mark the start of a steady wave of officialDragon Age: Dreadwolfnews that fans can look forward toin the run-up to the game’s release.
