Bioware shared a post this week which gave a small insight into the development of upcoming Dragon Age 4 which coincided with the news that Executive Producer Christian Dailey would be leaving Bioware.

Dragon Age 4 Small Update Shares in “Middle of Production”; Executive Producer Leaves Development Team

This week a small shred of news for Dragon Age 4 was revealed. In a post on the official Bioware website, the developer revealed that the next Dragon Age game was in the “middle of production”. While good to hear, the news was bittersweet as it also was released at the same time as the announcement that the executive producer Christian Dailey would be leaving the team.

Christian Dailey has been working for Bioware since 2018. Bioware states there is still a strong team behind Dragon Age with the game’s Production Director Mac Walters who has an 18 year history with the studio also leading Mass Effect Legendary Edition development, Game director Corrine Busche who has had 15 years of experience at EA. As well as Benoit Houle, who is the Director of Product Development, with 16 years experience working on Dragon Age games such as Dragon Age: Origins.

Hi friends. I wanted to pass on the news that I am leaving BioWare. The next Dragon Age is in great hands. Looking forward to cheering on the team and playing as a fan. Please follow my friends on the latest and greatest moving forward. Much love #DragonAge #Anthem family. 🐲🤖 https://t.co/y3OZ5vb8D2

This isn’t the only change up or departure we have seen so far, with Senior Creative Director Matt Goldman leaving Bioware last November.

Dragon Age 4 Middle of Production

The blog outlines that they are currently creating “amazing environments, deep characters, strong gameplay, impactful writing, emotional cinematics” and more. However, no time frame was given in terms of the Alpha and Beta.

As for when we will hear more about Dragon Age 4, it looks slated to be later this year, as the blog post states there will be “blogs and social content” coming from the team.

What We Know So Far About Dragon Age 4

Bioware has yet to reveal any gameplay, and most updates have been a slew of concept art, teasing the content. The recent blog post seems to indicate we’re still quite far off from seeing anything in-game.

Bioware shared last December that Dragon Age 4 will remain “single-player” focused. Emphasising that the franchise won’t be going in the direction of the previous report back in 2019, which came from chief financial officer Blake Jorgensen saying they would “double down on live services”. Instead with the difficulties that Anthem faced, and the overall success of single-player titles such as Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, the direction remains with a concentration on the single-player experience.

Bioware has shown concept art teasing the Antivan Crows, as well as the Grey Wardens and a magic archer. There has also been featured artwork for a mage standing in what appears to be Dragon Age’s biggest city Minrathous, the capital of Tevinter.

The last trailer was the teaser shown at The Game Awards 2022, which featured a familiar face, Solas. We get also got a taste of some of the environments.

Previous reports had many to believe that the next Dragon Age game wouldn’t be releasing until fiscal year 2022, but with everything that has happened since and the recent blog post it looks like we could be waiting much longer. We will have to wait and see what will be revealed in future updates later this year. Dragon Age 4 will be released on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X / S, no release date has been announced as of yet.
