Dragon Age: The World of Thedas Boxset Reprints Two Essential Lore Guides

Dark Horse's twin-volume Dragon Age: The World of Thedas series is pretty much the perfect resource for anyone who likes to geek out about the lore of this fantasy gaming universe. And while the original hardcover editions are becoming harder to find in print these days, that won't be an issue much longer.

IGN can exclusively reveal the Dragon Age: The World of Thedas Boxset, which features new softcover versions of both books packaged inside an exclusive slipcase adorned in Dragon Age artwork.

The two volumes in this set are act as both art books and lore guides to the Dragon Age franchise, covering the key conflicts in this universe and the important locales. The books cover everything in the series up through 2014's Dragon Age: Inquisition. Fortunately (or unfortunately, depending on your perspective), with the fourth Dragon Age game still deep in development at BioWare, that means these volumes are as up-to-date now as they were seven years ago.

This boxset is due for release in bookstores on July 11, 2023 and comic shops on July 12, 2023. It's priced at $59.99, making it a more affordable option than buying the two hardcover editions separately.

Even with the Dragon Age games in hibernation mode lately, Dark Horse has continued to dig deeper into the franchise with books like The Art of Dragon Age: Inquisition and collectibles like this eye-catching Iron Bull figurine.

As for the next game, EA finally revealed the official title and logo for Dragon Age: Dreadwolf in June 2022. The sequel won't be arriving in 2022, but EA did promise more info on the game before the end of the year.
