The fourth instalment in BioWare's RPG series Dragon Age now has an official name: Dragon Age: Dreadwolf. Revealed in a BioWare blog post, that's the only detail the developer is willing to share at the moment, but information and further details will be shared later this year. The game won't be launching in 2022 either, but we are "growing closer to that next adventure".
The blog post then expands on who Solas, the Dread Wolf actually is. "Some say he might be an ancient elven god, but some say not. Others say a betrayer of his people…or a savior who now seeks to rescue them at the cost of your world. His motives are inscrutable and his methods sometimes questionable, earning him a reputation as something of a trickster deity — a player of dark and dangerous games."
BioWare suggests you'll be able to jump straight into Dragon Age: Dreadwolf and begin playing without any knowledge of the three previous games since the Dread Wolf will "properly introduce himself when the time is right". Past reports have claimed Dragon Age: Dreadwolf will release in 2023.

I Wonder If They Will Update Dragon Age Keep So You Can Make Your Choices For The Previous Games To Carry Over Into This One Or Will We Get The Mass Effect Legendary Edition Treatment For Dragon Age.
Not that this has any indication of how the game will turn out, but something about the name and logo seem off to me.
N.i.c.e. i l💚ve dragon age inquisition.especialy as a mage.the magic is really good. Dragon dogma still have the best magic ever.cant wait for this game.word up son
I only played Inquisition and loved it. I will play this one too someday!!
@Ryguy2784 that was the first thing I though too. The neon small line weight font looks more futuristic then something I associate with medieval.
@Stragen8
Exactly. It doesn't seem to fit it all
I really want to see the gameplay for this. I hope it's more like Origins than Inquisition, but the story with Solas and the
Tevinter Imperium might keep my interest if it's not.
I've really tried to like this series but somehow RPGs where you have to manage a party aren't for me. It sounds weird but something about it seems to put me off.
I only pick up DA:I because it was something like £4 in a sale and I was looking for something to play, had a good time with it. Hand played any other DA games.
Will probably look to pick this up at some point
I'm so excited for this game and have been waiting for years since I beat Inquisition to play it. I do hope EA announces a Legendary Edition(Like Mass Effect) for Dragon Age 1, 2 and maybe you throw Inquisition in their(All DLC and Awakenting for all 3 games included). I think it would sell well and be perfect before the media rollout for Dragon Age 4 starts.
Super excited about this one! My gut says this could be a summer release in 2023 but of course, no pressure lol.
This will defo have Solas returning with a name like that. Fingers crossed for some decent writing and characters.
This is a game worth getting a PS5 for so I'll pick one up at some point in the next year!
Logo looks like a dirty dog made it. Neon purple? Oh PLEASE no!
This is getting exciting. It's an amazingly unexpected return to form for a franchise I thought was mothballed for good!
@dschons It's a slightly dated design. The series started as a spiritual successor to the Baldur's Gate series without needing to pay for the D&D license and without being limited by the gameplay rules of D&D. DA:O started development in the late 90's!
The party management idea really dates back to these games being designed entirely around the mouse. I know BG itself was ported to console since, but it's clunky. It was designed entirely around a specific input device.
I loved the genre back in my PC days, but I admit it feels clunkier playing it on console. I also wouldn't want it to change, either, though.
I'm curious if we'll see more of Avowed at the MS show in a few weeks. That's supposed to be Pillars of Eternity's first 3D outing, and PoE, also, is based on the Infinity Engine, party management, mouse-driven games Black Isle (Obsidian) worked on with Bioware's original engine. It would be interesting to have two "AAA" console games based on a 90's PC genre both around the same time.
@NEStalgia I don't really know what it was. It's not like I didn't get it or anything, I could play it just fine but I just didn't find the whole party thing fun. Maybe it was my OCD that didn't want to turn on auto-equip and auto-assist, I have no idea, lol. Sometimes you just can't put your finger on it.
Terrible name. Why would they set themselves up like that?
Dragon Age is actually one of the few franchises that you should actually play all the games
Title screen makes it look like some kids friendly series about to drop onto Disney+
I agree with a few comments here, that logo looks child friendly. Almost fortnite font style. It doesn't give off a medieval rpg feeling.
I played Inquisition and liked right up to the point Witcher 3 came out. I realised that was the style of game I wanted. I just can't face going to to Inquisition.
I couldn't get into Inquisition. Maybe this one will be better. I'll wait to have any hype for it until after I get more info.
@dschons I think it's maybe about being a victim of too much choice. We have a lot of games and non-games that spoil us for interesting things today, and the minutae of managing every member of a party as a player character just feels like a chore now. Back in the 90's it was fun. But I can't even get myself to sit through BGII, one of my favorite games of all time, today. So much tedious tasks. Why did I love it back in the day? IDK. More free time, less options for other interesting things I guess
Big Dragon Age fan, I don't mind the font, looks into line with concept art they showed of Tevinter. but the title really sounds akward to me.
@NEStalgia Couldn't agree more with that! Yeah, that's probably what it was. Me not being able to let go of the micro managing and spending too much time in menus to optimize everything. I think that's what it was.
@Stragen8 @Ryguy2784
Fen'Harel, also known as the Dread Wolf, He Who Hunts Alone, Lord of Tricksters, The Great Wolf,[ Roamer of the Beyond, the old wolf,[ is the elven god of betrayal or rebellion.
Small section of the lore.
Goinh to be amazing
Great, now give us a full trailer with a release window at least!
Also I still want them to remaster or remake Dragon Age Origins + DLC.
The Dreadwolf font reminds me of the neon font in Snapchat.
Title reveal and nothing else? Boring.
@Mauzuri They’ve set themselves up for the pun dragon age dreadful if it turns out not to live up to previous dragon age games… Witcher 3 is not quite the same…
Dreadwolf is a Dread-ful name.
I'll see myself out.
@Mauzuri right… 🫥🙄🫣🫠
