Dragon Age Day just passed, meaning it’s been a busy time for the community eagerly awaitingDragon Age: Dreadwolf. Not only did BioWare release a new cinematic ofVarric detailing Solas' actions and past in and prior toDragon Age: Inquisition, but it also released a new short story for fans to devour. Many think the cinematic is just a tease for a brand new trailer at The Game Awards,Dragon Age: Absolutionreleases on Netflix on December 9, and even a comic is coming.Concrete details onDragon Age: Dreadwolfare scarce, but it has officially passed its Alpha milestone. BioWare is hard at work getting it prepared for release, whenever that comes around, but between the Netflix series and the newDragon Age: The Missingcomics, there’s plenty of content to consume before then.RELATED:Dragon Age: Dreadwolf Hits Alpha MilestoneDragon Age: The Missingis an upcoming four-issue miniseries from Dark Horse Comics that will release in January. BioWare confirmed that it is a prequel story toDragon Age: Dreadwolfand will focus on Varric andDragon Age: Inquisition’s scout Lace Harding, but that’s it so far. As to what exactly is missing,how long afterDragon Age: Inquisitionit takes place, and why Varric and Harding are teaming up are all left to the imagination for now.
Because this is a prequel comic releasing in 2023, many are hoping for a newDragon Age: Dreadwolftrailer confirming the release window soon. It should be noted that a follow-up trailer for that Solas cinematic is not impossible atThe Game Awards. BioWare has appeared there many times, bringingDragon Agewith it in 2018 and 2020. If it skips every other year, then it would make sense for it to be there on December 8. However, that doesn’t necessarily mean fans will get release date information.
BioWare has been very open about its development ofDragon Age: Dreadwolf, revealing it hit alpha stage a couple of months ago, and if it stuck to cadences it followed withDragon Age: Inquisition, this makes its rumored late 2023/early 2024 release sound plausible. However, many would agree it’s more important that BioWare make a game it and the community can be proud of instead of sticking to some arbitrary development timeline. A release window isn’t impossible at this point, but it may be better if BioWare held its horses and saw how the race toward the development finish line looked in a couple of months. Still, seeing anything would be nice.
