Dragon Age Might Very Well Be Dead at BioWare, According to New Report
Mark Darrah says EA may keep the fantasy franchise idle after Dragon Age: The Veilguard fell short of sales expectations.
- According to longtime Dragon Age veteran Mark Darrah, fans should not expect a new Dragon Age entry soon, citing the difficulty of getting games greenlit at the organization during a conversation with FRVR.
- The Veilguard, released nearly two years ago, fell short of sales expectations and failed to become the savior fans hoped for, following previous struggles with Mass Effect Andromeda and Anthem.
- EA owns a frightening number of dormant IPs and has no problem letting them sit for long periods. While Darrah didn't directly mention The Veilguard, its poor performance likely left a sour taste.
- Darrah predicts BioWare would sabotage any attempt by other studios to pitch a new Dragon Age game to maintain control of the IP, questioning who at the studio would pitch a new entry.
- If the franchise remains frozen, BioWare will likely shift focus toward the next Mass Effect game or explore new IPs as the studio determines its future direction.
