Reiterates that a new Dragon Age "something" is in the works, I missed the original announcement apparently?

At 58 minute mark, mentions Jade Empire & supposed sequel. Basically it existed in the very earliest stages, was considered, but it sounds like they got too busy with Mass Effect & Dragon Age.

Also says he has an idea in his head what the game would be, but the game's (Jade Empire's) entire creative team is working on Dragon Age.

 

[Ushay]

Glad to hear Dragon Age is in the works. Possible unveiling next year?

It's a shame Jade Empire hasn't gone to full production, I really hope we get this someday it was one of the most unique RPGs Bioware have ever made.

 

[FelipeMGM]

It was never officially announced, but we all know its coming for a while. Eurogamer even had an interview with the writer of the game, Alexis Kennedy (Sunless Sea) a month ago where he talks about the challenges of writing the next Dragon Age

A shame about Jade Empire 2 not going forward tho, the first one is my favorite Xbox game

 

[RRockman]

I may be alone, but I would gladly sacrifice Dragon Age for more Jade Empire. Fite me.

 

[JimJamJones]

I may be alone, but I would gladly sacrifice Dragon Age for more Jade Empire. Fite me.

I was about to type out the exact same thing.

 

[Nesther]

I may be alone, but I would gladly sacrifice Dragon Age for more Jade Empire. Fite me.

Me three.

 

[Raide]

Eff more Dragon Age....Jade Empire 2....

 

[LastNac]

I may be alone, but I would gladly sacrifice Dragon Age for more Jade Empire. Fite me.

I fourth that.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

Didn't the main story for Dragon Age end? How many stories is there left to tell?

 

[AerialAir]

Please, PLASE, just don't use Frostbite bioware. Thanks.

Spoiler

I know EA will force them to use it

 

[Arxisz]

I may be alone, but I would gladly sacrifice Dragon Age for more Jade Empire. Fite me.

Nah you're not the only one, they need to let dragon age take a backseat and do a new Jade Empire.

 

[Rncewind]

after andromeda and inqusition im not s hot on bioware games tbh. but i hope something great comes out of it

 

[Sarcastic Poster]

Please bin the fucking current BioWare formula. No more single-player MMO fetch quest nonsense please.

 

[whatevermort]

I worked with an artist who did concept stuff for Jade Empire 2. He said it was set in a future version of that world - a blade runnerish SF setup. He said it was amazing. I am sad because I would murder to see that.

 

[Savinowned]

I may be alone, but I would gladly sacrifice Dragon Age for more Jade Empire. Fite me.

Woah... imagine a Jade Empire in this gen... That would be SO DOPE!

 

[Weebos]

Didn't the main story for Dragon Age end? How many stories is there left to tell?

No, they left a massive cliffhanger at the end of Inquisition, and then expanded on it in Trespasser.

 

[Rumblebones]

I would've much preferred Jade Empire 2.

Hear hear

Don't think DA will be unveiled next year, they will want to focus all attention on Anthem first. I expect an E3 2019 reveal.

 

[SliChillax]

Please bin the fucking current BioWare formula. No more single-player MMO fetch quest nonsense please.

They heard you! Now it's multiplayer MMO fetch quests

 

[YuriLowell]

Dragon Age needs to take a rest for a bit.

Bring back Jade Empire.

 

[Ooccoo]

More like Origins and forget Inquisition existed please

 

[RedlineRonin]

I may be alone, but I would gladly sacrifice Dragon Age for more Jade Empire. Fite me.

You're clearly not alone.

Spot on above to about it being one of the most unique things BW has ever made. It really was cool. I don't remember a ton about it, just that I beat it.

And that there's some drunk guy near the beginning called three sheets dutong.

Would gladly play another one of those. I've honestly had my Dragon Age fill with Inquisition for awhile. If they put that one on the back burner for some years, that'd be alright.

 

[DataGhost]

Please bin the fucking current BioWare formula. No more single-player MMO fetch quest nonsense please.

Great idea!

Unleashing the new dragon age game, Dragon age online. No longer single player, twice as many fetch quests

 

[Ahasverus]

Nooooo. Please bring Jade Empire back ;(

 

[Phamit]

Dragon Age needs to take a rest for a bit.

Bring back Jade Empire.

With Anthem coming we won't see a new Dragon Age before 2019.

 

[FaintDeftone]

Yeah I'm burnt out on Dragon Age. Give me Jade Empire 2.

 

[PantsuJo]

Just gimme Jade Empire 2, holy shit fydgjfdhh

Screw Dragon Age.

 

[Marvel]

Nice, I keep buying Inquisistion on all kinds of platforms, haven't actually completed it yet. Barely started.

I need JE2 tho

 

[Lister]

Eurogamer even had an interview with the writer of the game, Alexis Kennedy (Sunless Sea) a month ago where he talks about the challenges of writing the next Dragon Age

Wait, what?

The Sunless Sea guy is writing the next Dragon Age?

This takes my completely deflated hype for this franchise and at least pumps some life into it.

Give me some narrative agency and I'm there dazy zero!

 

[Carlius]

ya... after inquisition i don t really care for da much. they butchered what started out a great series.

 

[yunbuns]

Fuck off Dragon Age, I want my Jade Empire sequel.

 

[Phamit]

He's on the writing team, not lead Writer or something

 

[SeppOCE]

Didn't the main story for Dragon Age end? How many stories is there left to tell?

Main story for Mass Effect was shut tight until ME4 came long. Devs will always find a way if it leads to money.

 

[Svejk]

More Bioware?

eeehh, I dunno... They need to really step it up. They've flopped this gen so far.

 

[Khaos Kontrol]

I remember reading about Jade Empire 2 in an EGM circa 2005/2006.

 

[ArjanN]

I worked with an artist who did concept stuff for Jade Empire 2. He said it was set in a future version of that world - a blade runnerish SF setup. He said it was amazing. I am sad because I would murder to see that.

That sounds a lot better than just not-asia like they had before honestly.

 

[ArgyleReptile]

I may be alone, but I would gladly sacrifice Dragon Age for more Jade Empire. Fite me.

This person speaks for me.

 

[Mechanized]

I would gladly sacrifice a new Dragon Age in exchange for getting nothing instead.

 

[kris.]

existED?

 

[adversarial]

Can't even imagine how sick a new DA is going to be. I imagine they learned a lot from Andromeda, and Inquisition. There's no way they could release another dud.

..right? I'm pumped.

 

[Mivey]

I would gladly sacrifice a new Dragon Age in exchange for getting nothing instead.

 

[Lister]

More Bioware?

eeehh, I dunno... They need to really step it up. They've flopped this gen so far.

Hey, even heroes need to fart too.

 

[Vyrance]

I'll be the lone person in here to defend Dragon Age. I thought Inquisition was great, and I'm hyped for where the next one will be going.

 

[Steez]

I may be alone, but I would gladly sacrifice Dragon Age for more Jade Empire. Fite me.

Why tho? As if current BioWare was capable of crafting something remotely unique and with great RPG mechanics.

I would gladly sacrifice a new Dragon Age in exchange for getting nothing instead.

This guy gets it.

 

[Lister]

He's on the writing team, not lead Writer or something

That's you, deflating my hype dragon.

 

[nelsonroyale]

Hrmmm...Dragon Age...I will see what they show. Despite having completed the first and third games, I have no particular interest in the series. That may change depending ono what they show.

 

[Mister Wolf]

I enjoyed Inquisition but after what they did with Andromeda I'm really concerned.

 

[Crossing Eden]

More Bioware?

eeehh, I dunno... They need to really step it up. They've flopped this gen so far.

This wasn't made by the team that made Inquisition.
