BioWare, an Electronic Arts label, has announced Dragon Age 3: Inquisition,
the next chapter in the award-winning role-playing game (RPG)
franchise, is in development at BioWare Edmonton and BioWare Montreal.
Scheduled to arrive in late 2013, Dragon Age 3: Inquisition
combines the storytelling legacy BioWare is known for, with deep RPG
gameplay, all on a brand new RPG game engine underpinned by EA’s
critically-acclaimed Frostbite 2 technology.
“The Dragon Age team has been working on Dragon Age 3: Inquisition
for almost two years now,” said Aaryn Flynn, General Manager of BioWare
Edmonton and BioWare Montreal. “We’ve been poring over player feedback
from past games and connecting directly with our fans. They haven’t
held back, so we’re not either. With Dragon Age 3: Inquisition, we want
to give fans what they’re asking for – a great story with choices that
matter, a massive world to explore, deep customization and combat that
is both tactical and visceral.”
Added Flynn, “At the same time, we know we need new technology to
truly make this vision become fully realized. And we’ve been working
with DICE to make Frostbite 2 the foundation for the engine that is
going to power Dragon Age 3.”
The Dragon Age franchise has received over 80 awards from critics
around the world, and has sold over 8 million copies to date*. Created
by BioWare, the property has spawned many novels, an animated film,
comic books, collectables and more since Dragon Age: Origins launched
in 2009.
