Summary
The Xbox Store page forDragon Age: Dreadwolfis up, which reveals that a full reveal of the game will come in Summer 2024. It has almost been a decade sinceDragon Age: Inquisitionlaunched, expanding on the world of Thedas and setting up an overarching enemy beyond the Blight. For better or worse, it embraced an open world approach, and blended the action elements of its predecessor with the tactical combat ofDragon Age: Origins. However,Dragon Age: Dreadwolfis expected to be a radical departure from both.
Gameplay leaks ofDragon Age: Dreadwolfpoint towards more action-oriented combat, where party members play a similar function to the squad mates from theMass Effectgames. While this decision has sparked major controversy amongDragon Agefans, the pivot in direction could pay off. Given thatBaldur’s Gate 3embraced the isometric style of older roleplaying titles, a fantasy take onMass Effect’s crisp, engaging combat would play up to BioWare’s modern strengths.
However, the continued silence andconstant delays forDragon Age: Dreadwolfhave begun to grate on the community. Though many remain cautiously optimistic about the project, the failures ofAnthemand shortcomings ofMass Effect: Andromedahave shaken their faith in BioWare. That being said, the team at BioWare will soon have a chance to present their vision forDragon Age: Dreadwolfin detail. TheXbox Store page forDragon Age: Dreadwolfhas come online, stating that a full reveal is coming in Summer 2024. The timing of it all leads to one strong implication.
Why Dragon Age: Dreadwolf Could Be At Summer Game Fest 2024
Summer Game Fest 2024 will be held on June 7, andDragon Age: Dreadwolfhas long been rumored to make an appearance during the event. With the Xbox Store page coming online suspiciously close to Summer Game Fest, on top of it confirming a Summer 2024 reveal, all signs point towards the rumor being true. Furthermore, with therelease window forDragon Age: Dreadwolfnarrowed down to Q1 2025, a deep dive at Summer Game Fest makes the most sense from a marketing standpoint.
Though not much is known about theprotagonist inDragon Age: Dreadwolf, the Xbox Store page describes them as being a leader who forges a courageous fellowship, implying that they may not be in charge of a large organization like the Inquisitor, but will instead forge connections with a smaller group like inOrigins. Players will find out soon, which is expected to take place in the Tevinter Imperium and its neighboring countries.
