BioWare’s next big RPG is playable start-to-finish now
The nextDragon Agegame has passed a big internal milestone. In a new blog, BioWare confirmsDragon Age: Dreadwolfhas completed the Alpha milestone.
What this means, effectively, is thatDreadwolfis currently playable from start to finish. This doesn’t mean the work’s done quite yet, though.
In anew blog, BioWare general manager Gary McKay says the team is now looking at the narrative cohesion.
“We can take the story we’ve written and see if we’re expressing it well through the characters, dialogue, cinematics, and ultimately, the player’s journey,” said McKay. “Now that we have the ability to do a complete playthrough, we can iterate and polish on the things that matter most to our fans.”
Dragon Age: Dreadwolfis heading to a few new locales. Notably, this includes one fans have heard about more than a few times: the Tevinter Imperium. Today’s blog confirms players will visit Minrathous, the heart of the Tevinter empire.
McKay continues on to say that theDreadwolfteam wants to “continue being transparent” with fans about development, and keep people up-to-date. So far, the studio has released a few development updates this year. One slapped theofficial subtitleonDreadwolf. And another teasedsome codex entriesthat are in store.
The Dreadwolf rises
The next installment ofDragon Agewas first teased atThe Game Awards in 2018. Since then, BioWare’s been working on it, going through somebig shiftsin the process.
While we’veseen some teases, we’ve still had yet to see a full look at what’s in store for theDragon Ageuniverse. Hopefully, with such a big milestone passed, BioWare will cast more light on the Dread Wolf’s plans soon.
