Dragon Age 4was first announced at The Game Awards 2018, and while BioWare has released some concept art for the game since then, it’s otherwise remained mostly quiet. Since fans haven’t gotten a look at anyDragon Age 4gameplay yet, there are some who are worried about the state of the project, especially when considering BioWare’s recent history and its missteps withMass Effect: AndromedaandAnthem.
Those worried aboutDragon Age 4’s developmentcan rest assured that the game is in good shape. According to industry insider Jeff Grubb,Dragon Age 4development is going well, with the game currently on schedule to meet its planned release date. Apparently, theDragon Age 4release date is expected to be in about 18 months or so, meaning that it will likely release in late 2023.

IfDragon Age 4releases in late 2023 as expected, it will mark a whopping nine years since the launch ofDragon Age: Inquisitionin 2014. There was a period from the launch ofDragon Age: Originson 2009 toDragon Age: Inquisition’s release in 2014 that new entries in the series were released on a regular basis, withDragon Age 2launching in 2011 and the intervening years occupied by expansions likeDragon Age: Awakeningas well as spin-offs. However, the series has been dormant sinceInquisitionlaunched in 2014.
If this information about theDragon Age 4release dateis accurate, then it stands to reason that fans could start seeing the game relatively soon, though that hasn’t been specified. It’s possible that EA will show offDragon Age 4as its big marquee game at EA Play this year, but it’s also possible that fans will have to wait a little later to see anything substantial about the game. Since it’s not expected to release until late in 2023, it’s possible that EA will hold off until next year before really ramping up the marketing push for the game.
While there haven’t been a ton of details released aboutDragon Age 4just yet, it’s known that the red lyrium substance will be featured in the game’s plot. Fans can also expect a number of returning characters inDragon Age 4as well, withSolas the Dread Wolfand Varris Tethras both expected to appear in the new game. It’s highly likely that there will be many other familiar faces inDragon Age 4as well, though details on that end remain scarce at the time of this writing.
