Future Dragon Age Installments Unlikely As Fans Lose All Hope

Expert Verified By

Dragon Age On Ice Following Veilguard Flop!

Story Highlight
  • Following Dragon Age: The Veilguard’s failure, BioWare’s RPG franchise has been put on ice and is unlikely to return anytime soon.
  • Fans are upset over the sudden death of the series despite the promised revival from last year.
  • Many believe there is a lesson to be learnt here, warning the industry about the horrors of live-service trend chasing.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard has been through an unfortunate series of events over the last few months. Despite showing promise early on, the RPG failed to meet expectations, ultimately leading to BioWare being reduced to less than 100 developers.

While developers from the studio have insisted the franchise is still alive, fans are all but convinced this is not the case. In fact, it seems more than likely that Dragon Age won’t be coming back anytime soon.

Why it matters: This franchise was among BioWare’s most successful IPs, propelling the studio to the top of the RPG genre of gaming.

With support for Dragon Age: The Veilguard wrapped up and BioWare moving on, fans have thanked the studio for its work.

Many have also acknowledged that the series is now on ice, leaving little room for another entry in the near future. It is important to note that the series’ latest installment arrived after a decade-long gap.

Extremely sad that Dragon Age is on ice.

Because AAA development timelines have grown significantly in the modern era, a new title would require another decade, even if Dragon Age: The Veilguard was a major success.

With this not being the case, EA is unlikely to greenlight another entry for the franchise after BioWare wraps up work on the next Mass Effect. Effectively, this means that Dragon Age will not be a part of the larger gaming industry over the next 10 to 15 years.

While the situation is far from bright, some fans are trying to look on the brighter side. Over on Reddit, one user stated that Dragon Age’s death should be a lesson for the entire industry, highlighting why forced live-service elements are always a bad idea.
