Dragon Age: Dreadwolf Seemingly Isn't Launching This Year

EA’s latest earnings report contains no mention of BioWare’s upcoming RPG Dragon Age: Dreadwolf in its list of upcoming games, suggesting the next entry in the beloved franchise won't release until April 2024 at the earliest.

As reported by Eurogamer, EA’s latest earnings report included a schedule of previously announced games that are slated to release in the 2023/24 financial year, which runs until the end of March 2024. The list featured a range of upcoming titles including The Lord of the Rings: Heroes of Middle Earth, Immortals of Aveum, and Madden 24, but contained no mention of Dragon Age: Dreadwolf.

EA’s omission suggests that BioWare’s highly anticipated RPG won't be released until April 2024 at the earliest. Officially revealed back in December 2018, Dragon Age: Dreadwolf is set to be the fourth entry in the fantasy series.

The game has yet to be given an official release window. However, BioWare revealed in October 2022 that an alpha version of the game was now playable from start to finish, giving fans hope that a release might not be too far away.

Further evidence that BioWare was ramping up for the release of Dreadwolf came with the January 2023 release of Dark Horse Comic’s prequel miniseries, Dragon Age: The Missing. Written by George Mann and illustrated by Kieran McKeown, Dragon Age: The Missing helps set the scene for the upcoming game while following protagonists Varric Tethras and Lace Harding’s descent into the blight-infected Deep Roads beneath Marnas Pell.

January also saw Dragon Age: Dreadwolf’s production director Mac Walters step away from the project, and BioWare as a whole after spending almost two decades with the developer. Walters had previously worked on the second and third entries in the Mass Effect series, along with the most recent title Mass Effect: Andromeda, and EA’s ill-fated sci-fi RPG Anthem.
