Newsflash: a studio that announced a game a few years back is still working on said title. We kid, but that message is just about all fans were treated to as Dragon Age Day 2021 was celebrated this past weekend. In amongst new short stories from BioWare and Twitch livestreams, the developer penned a post assuring Dragon Age 4 is still very much in production.
The team said: "Speaking of building new worlds and stories for you to explore, we want to let you all know that we're still hard at work on building the next single-player focused experience for Dragon Age. We're excited for next year when we can talk more about what we're working on."
It sounds like 2022 will be the year for Dragon Age 4 information, then, especially given the game is reportedly slated to launch the year after that for PlayStation 5. With the blog post's focus on delivering news next year, this also rules out an appearance during The Game Awards later this week. A teaser trailer was presented during last year's event, but it looks like a no show is on the cards for the 2021 version. Don't forget this will be a "single player focused experience" after live service and multiplayer trappings were dropped during development.

This reminds me of when I tell my advisor that my dissertation’s totally coming along well when in fact I’ve been up until 3AM playing Resident Evil Village.
With such important members of the team leaving, and no gameplay yet to be shown, I wouldn't be surprised if this game is still in preproduction.
@Jayslow they did it before with anthem who's to say they wont do it with dragon age smh.
I hopped into Dragon Age with the first PS4 entry and just couldn't get into it. Mass Effect on the other hand is a favorite series of mine. I'm far happier to hear that Mass Effect is continuing but this is good news to Dragon Age fans.
Not as much into Dragon Age as Mass Effect but hoping for the best for this one. I liked Inquisition well enough so I might give this one a try.
Dragon Age: Inquisition was my most played game of the generation at the time. This was because they deliberately made everything far more time consuming and grindy than it needed to be.
There was a great game in there somewhere, and it won several GOTYs, but it felt stretched very thin. I hope they address that and make DA4 FAR less grindy, the series deserves better.
still waiting on the day where bioware makes a good Dragon Age game
They have to get Dragon Age 4 right. I mean the setup for it after the excellent game that was Dragon Age Inquisition sets 4 up as an epic adventure, in Tevinter hopefully. Solar will be the big bad, and I hope they bring back Leliana and Sara and others who have been around through the whole thing.
It is my most anticipated game even though it's years away.
I also just wish EA would let them do a remaster for Dragon Age Orgins, the expansion Awakening, and Dragon Age 2 for Next Gen/Last Gen. I mean the Mass Effect Trilogy did great and I know Dragon Age would sell well. It makes all the sense in the world.
@Uncharted2007 Should've dropped onto Origins - the best (?) so far but sadly locked to PS3 and X360. DA:I was close....very close.
If they get this right, my first must-have PS5-gen game has been announced - set for release in another couple of years! Well, supply might've caught up by then.
@Uncharted2007 The first Dragon Age is a very solid rpg, DA2 is also pretty great but suffers a bit from repetitive environments. Inquisition is easily the weakest of them all. Here's hoping we get a remaster like the Mass Effects got.
Honestly it's not looking very good, judging from Anthem and Mass Effect Andromeda... Bioware is a shell of its former self.
I just want more sarcastic female Hawke. One of the best protagonists BioWare have created along with FemShep.
If the combat system is anything like the one in Dragon Age Inquisition it will be a hard pass for me.
@QBGaming12
Remaking or at least remastering Origins + Awakening is absolutely what they should, but won't, do to build up hype and customer faith in DA4 while they continue to work on it for the next (checks how many directors have left the game mid development) 7 years...
@greengecko007 Mass Effect got the Remazter treatment and that game won't be out for probably 2-3 more years. I wouldn't be surprised if we get an announcement about them being remastered by next summer.
