Sorry, Dragon Age Fans, Don't Expect Another One Anytime Soon
Push Square • • technology
Key Points:
- Mark Darrah, former producer of the Dragon Age series, expressed doubt about the franchise's return anytime soon due to a challenging environment at publisher EA for pitching new games.
- The recent release, Dragon Age: The Veilguard, underperformed in sales, diminishing the likelihood of another installment in the near future.
- Darrah highlighted internal conflicts at EA and BioWare, where multiple parties claim control over the IP, making it difficult for new pitches to succeed.
- He suggested that even if another studio attempted to develop a Dragon Age game, BioWare executives would likely block the project to maintain control over the franchise.
- As a result, Dragon Age may join other dormant EA franchises like Need for Speed and Dead Space, with no clear plans for revival amid BioWare's focus on Mass Effect.
