Summary
Industry insider Jeff Grubb once again reaffirms his claim thatDragon Age: Dreadwolfis launching this year. This is despiterecent information from EAindicating that it could be with us as late as March 2025, sparking fears that we’re still almost a year away from the long-awaited sequel.
However, speaking in a new YouTube video, Grubb says that the team is “happy” with the state of Dragon Age: Dreadwolf, and that it’s set to release in 2024. He adds that the game’s summer showcase, which hasalready been confirmed by BioWare, will reveal “all of the details”. So, hopefully much more than the cinematic trailers we’ve been shown so far.
Dragon Age: Dreadwolf Still On Track For 2024 Launch
In Grubb’s latest video, he shares some more details about Dragon Age: Dreadwolf (at the 4:11 mark), following speculation about its release date earlier in the week. Here, he has good news forDragon Agefans, who have been waiting almost ten years for a sequel toDragon Age: Inquisition.
“At this point, it seems like we should see that game at Summer Game Fest or around that time,” says Grubb. “They should have all of the details for that thing because everyone seems really happy with that game. They’re pretty pleased with how it turned out, and the plan is to launch that this calendar year.”
Grubb then clarifies that this means the game will launch in 2024, not before the end of EA’s fiscal year in March 2025, as some had feared.
Grubb has previously shared thathe believes Dreadwolf is launching this year, so these latest statements hopefully mean that all is well behind the scenes. Unfortunately, we already know that the team has faced cuts, asBioWare laid off around 50 developers in 2023. These layoffs affected both the Dragon Age and Mass Effect teams and even included a BioWare veteran who hadbeen with the studio since it worked on the Baldur’s Gate series.
This was just the latest shakeup in Dragon Age: Dreadwolf’s messy development cycle. BioWare has been trying to release a fourth instalment since the success of Inquisition, butmultipleiterationswere scrapped, and key figures within the company have since left. It remains to be seen how Dreadwolf performs, whenever the studio is ready to launch it.
