News BioWare's Considering a Dragon Age Spin-Off Title
Tactical advantage
"Would you play a Dragon Age Tactics game?" asks series executive producer Mark Darrah over on Twitter. The BioWare veteran even posted a poll on the social media platform, with 49 per cent of voters answering "Yes!" We suppose that means we could be getting a spin-off Dragon Age game in the future, then. Sure, it's a bit of an...
News Mass Effect: Andromeda's Lead Writer has Jumped Ship to Destiny
Andromeda will "blow people away"
Mass Effect: Andromeda's lead writer, Chris Shlerf, has revealed that he's left the project and is now working at Bungie on Destiny. Going by Shlerf's tweets on the matter, it would appear as though his role has been fulfilled when it comes to BioWare's latest, with him leaving on good terms with the Canadian...
News Veteran Dragon Age Writer David Gaider Leaves BioWare
The story begins anew
Ask many a Dragon Age fan who David Gaider is and they'll probably point out that he's partly responsible for bringing BioWare's fantasy role-playing series to life. Gaider's typically great writing can be found in all three Dragon Age titles that have appeared on PlayStation platforms. He also wrote numerous novels and comics...
News Mass Effect: Andromeda Is in a Playable Form Right Now
Still on target for late 2016
We'll be the first to admit that this isn't a huge slice of news - especially when it originates from a series of BioWare employee tweets - but it would appear that Mass Effect: Andromeda is now playable, at least to some degree. In other words, the game's development cycle is supposedly going smoothly. "Just finished...
News Key BioWare Developer Leaves Mass Effect: Andromeda
Making sense of the stars
Chris Wynn, otherwise known as Mass Effect: Andromeda's senior development director, has ended his career at BioWare.

News No, You're Not Getting Any Mass Effect: Andromeda News on N7 Day
BioWeary
Good lord, BioWare, how long will you make us wait? Between really vague and annoying employee tweets, game expo appearances that feature nothing but concept art, and a disappointingly short CG trailer, we've been shown next to nothing of Mass Effect: Andromeda. If you hadn't noticed, the 7th of November, otherwise known as N7 Day to Mass...
News BioWare Shares More Mass Effect News That You Probably Don't Care About
Give us games or give us death
At this point, we're just desperate for something - anything - on Mass Effect: Andromeda, the next instalment in BioWare's sci-fi series. Heck, we'd go barmy over the announcement of a remastered PlayStation 4 trilogy, but for some reason, EA mustn't like the idea of relatively easy money. In any case, the point is...

One last hurrah
There's a new Dragon Age: Inquisition patch out on PlayStation 4, and it weighs in at around 4GB.

Final fantasy
It's been a reasonably long road for Dragon Age: Inquisition and all of its epic adventures, but the Inquisitor and his or her chums can't stick around forever.

News You'll Probably Hear More About Mass Effect: Andromeda in the Near Future
Space to breathe
After a rather stunted showing at E3 2015, fans have unsurprisingly been clamouring for more information regarding Mass Effect: Andromeda ever since. The next instalment in BioWare's sci-fi series is currently deep in development, but that hasn't stopped the studio from supposedly showing some of the title off at San Diego Comic-Con...
News You Won't Be Able to Play Dragon Age: Inquisition's Future DLC on PS3
You can transfer your save to PS4, though
Sad news for those still battling demons on their PlayStation 3: BioWare has confirmed that future downloadable content for Dragon Age: Inquisition will only be available on new-gen consoles. While the reasoning for this is unclear, we'd wager that it's to make development a little easier and quicker. What's...
E3 2015 Is a Mass Effect Trilogy PS4 Remaster Happening? Even EA Doesn't Seem to Know
The cycle continues
If anything was missing during EA's 2015 press conference - well, apart from it actually being good - it was a Mass Effect Trilogy remaster announcement. Fans of Commander Shepard's epic sci-fi quest have been begging for such a reveal ever since new-gen consoles arrived on the market. BioWare, the studio behind the franchise,...
E3 2015 BioWare Spills Some Details on Mass Effect: Andromeda
Entering orbit
While we're sure that many of you were left disappointed by the big reveal of Mass Effect: Andromeda - which amounted to a 40 second long teaser trailer - we all need to step back and realise that these things take time.

Myths and legends
Brrrr, the spooky Black Emporium is back in Dragon Age: Inquisition as free DLC this week.

News Endure the Flames with Dragon Age: Inquisition's Free DLC Trailer
Get behind me
Truth be told, we've grown a bit cold on Dragon Age: Inquisition's multiplayer mode.

That said, we're actually tempted to hop back into the action...

It looks good, though
In what's been one of the strangest DLC launches that we've seen in recent years, Dragon Age: Inquisition's first downloadable expansion, Jaws of Hakkon, released today on Xbox One and PC. Meant as a surprise, the content was leaked before EA or BioWare had a chance to officially unveil its existence, and this has meant that...
News Dragon Age: Inquisition's Success Doesn't Guarantee a Sequel

Tell me more
It's been out for a little while on PC now, but consoles have finally nabbed Dragon Age: Inquisition's rather hefty patch.

Review Dragon Age: Inquisition (PlayStation 4)
Everybody expects the Inquisition
BioWare has had to endure a rocky road of late. Mass Effect 3 didn't sit well with everyone, and although there was a decent game at its core, Dragon Age II missed the mark almost entirely when it came to being a worthy successor to the great Dragon Age: Origins. As a result, a lot rests on Dragon Age: Inquisition's...

Forged in the fires of friendship
It certainly hasn't received the same sort of backlash that Mass Effect 3 got when it was announced that Commander Shepard's final chapter would sport its own co-op component, but perhaps that's led to Dragon Age: Inquisition's multiplayer offering flying a little under the radar. Indeed, much like the sci-fi...
