Dragon Age: Dreadwolf - Everything We Know About BioWare's Upcoming Fantasy RPG

Developer BioWare first teased it was working on a new Dragon Age-related project in December 2018, confirming the project is actually an untitled fourth mainline Dragon Age game nearly two years later. Since then, we've learned the official title is Dragon Age: Dreadwolf, and a few other intriguing nuggets of information that have emerged slowly over the years.

With Anthem abandoned and Mass Effect: Legendary Edition completed and released, BioWare is most likely now focusing on its two announced RPG projects: Dreadwolf and a brand-new Mass Effect. And since we know a little bit more about the game formally known (unofficially) as Dragon Age 4, it's probably the game that we're getting first. Below, we go over everything that we know about Dragon Age: Dreadwolf.

Release date

Neither BioWare nor publisher Electronic Arts have officially revealed a release date for Dragon Age: Dreadwolf. An EA financial report confirmed that Dreadwolf (along with the reboot of Skate) wouldn't come until April 2024 at the earliest. Reporter Jeff Grubb also suggested late last year that it would be Summer 2024 at the earliest, and more likely sometime in 2025.

In February 2022, Grubbsnax host and GamesBeat reporter Jeff Grubb said that Dragon Age: Dreadwolf is "at least 18 months away" from release, which would put the game's launch sometime beyond August 2023.

It may be worth pointing out that both Origins and Inquisition launched in November, which does line up with a post-August release date for Dragon Age: Dreadwolf. However, we can't rely on precedence too much here, seeing as Dragon Age II launched in March.

What we know

While very little in the way of specifics were shared, the Dreadwolf name announcement does confirm that Solas will be a central figure to the story. That comes as no surprise, as anyone who played Inquisition would suspect. However, BioWare says that even newcomers will be able to understand and enjoy what Solas, the titular Dread Wolf, is up to.

In BioWare: Stories and Secrets, a book that encompasses the developer's history, it was revealed that the primary setting for Dragon Age: Dreadwolf will be Tevinter--a never-before-seen, but an oft-referenced location in the Dragon Age franchise. Inquisition's Trespasser expansion even teased that a visit to Tevinter was up next for the series.

Tevinter is most often referenced in terms of its influence and societal layout. It is commonly referred to as one of the most powerful countries in all of Thedas. Possessing a primarily human make-up, Tevinter is ruled over by a council of mages. Slavery is also still legal there (despite being outlawed everywhere else), and the country as a whole is on very unfriendly terms with the Qunari.

Executive producer Christian Dailey has also teased fans with Dragon Age: Dreadwolf concept art. The images showcase knights adorned in incredible-looking armor, one suggesting that Dreadwolf will see the return of the Grey Wardens.

Grey Wardens are an elite order of knights who defend all of Thedas from the Archdemons, old gods who have become deadly dragons. You could choose to become a Grey Warden in Origins, though not in Dragon Age II or Inquisition.

Platforms

We've gotten no news of which platforms Dragon Age: Dreadwolf will release on. However, it's been reported that Dragon Age: Dreadwolf will not release on Xbox One or PS4, so we assume it will only launch for Xbox Series X S, PS5, and PC.

PC system specs

BioWare has yet to reveal the PC system specs for Dragon Age: Dreadwolf.

Trailers

We have one teaser trailer for Dreadwolf, released during The Game Awards 2020. The trailer does not feature any gameplay footage, and only teased the involvement of Solas. That teaser turned out to be correct, as we later learned from the title reveal. A second cinematic trailer, which debuted on Dragon Age Day (December 4) 2023, teased story details with strife in Thedas, and promised a full reveal coming in Summer 2024.

## Multiplayer details

In February 2021, a Bloomberg report stated that EA had given BioWare the go-ahead to remove "all planned multiplayer components" from Dragon Age: Dreadwolf, making the RPG an exclusively single-player experience.

In December 2021, BioWare announced that Dragon Age: Dreadwolf would be a "single-player focused experience." Given the very specific use of the word "focused," that technically leaves room for an online multiplayer component to be included in a smaller capacity, but it at least confirms that the game will be geared towards single-player, not multiplayer.

## DLC/Microtransaction details

BioWare has not yet said whether Dragon Age: Dreadwolf will incorporate DLC or microtransactions but given the fact that Inquisition featured both, it seems likely that this new game will too.

## Preorder details

Dragon Age: Dreadwolf is not yet available for preorder.
