Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
So yeah, doesn't look like this is coming out any time soon if they're not even revealing it until summer next year.

That purple logo looks horrible
It matches the developer’s hair
This was announced at The Game Awards in 2018.
Full Reveal - Summer 2024
Delay Announcement - Holiday 2024
Game Release - Second Half 2025
I think this announcement wasn't made to garner excitement but to reaffirm they're working on something and pleasing shareholders / executives who probably aren't happy about BioWare's performanceA teaser to announce they will have a reveal teaser in a year from now. It has to be a joke/error?
EA shut down Westwood Studios (RIP) and Origin Systems (RIP) for far, far fewer failures and general bullshittery. For some reason, BioWare have some sort of hall pass, it seems like.BioWare finally gets euthanized - mid 2027
The project has been marked by a high turnoverof leading staff. Several veteran Dragon Age staff, including Laidlaw, left the company in response to Joplin's cancellation in 2017.[3] After the 2018 restart, Mark Darrah remained as an executive producer, while Matthew Goldman took over the position of creative director for the project from 2017 to 2021.[10] By December 3, 2020, Darrah had resigned from BioWare, replaced by BioWare Austin studio head Christian Dailey as executive producer.[11] Goldman left BioWare by November 2021,[5] and was replaced as Creative Director by John Epler.[12] Dailey left BioWare in February 2022.[13] Corinne Busche became game director thereafter, Benoit Houle director of product development, and Mac Walters production director.[13] Walters in turn left BioWare in January 2023.[14] In March 2023, Darrah returned as a consultant for the game and the Mass Effectteam joined the production of Dreadwolf, according to EA.[15][16] In August 2023, BioWare fired 50 people working on Dreadwolf and the next Mass Effect game;[17] this included Mary Kirby who was one of the series' original writers and credited with "creating Varric and the Qunari".
Had to look up the history of this game’s development here https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon_Age:_Dreadwolf
Summary:
- started development in 2015 as “Joplin”
- put on hold so staff could help with Andromeda in 2016
- resumed development March 2017
- Joplin canceled in October 2017 because it didn’t have room for live service/monetization
- restarted in 2018 as “Morrison” to include a live service component and based on Anthem’s code
- in 2021 after Anthem’s reboot was canceled, they decided to remove the multiplayer stuff and make it SP only
And here’s the section about staff turnover holy shit:

Antiva looks really good. I still have hope Bioware can deliver a decent rpg, not every game can be Witcher 3, but I think they can still make a good game.
I think this confirms 2024 late release, if I remember correctly EA stated they dont want long marketing cycles anymore.
God damnit. We're never getting Mass Effect 5, are we?Had to look up the history of this game’s development here https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon_Age:_Dreadwolf

Barely even Bioware, anymore. It's basically a hollowed out husk, robbed of it's richest contents and taken over by people who haven't the faintest on how to recapture lightning in a bottle, twice.Sad. And to think Bioware was at one point my favorite developer.

Out of curiosity I just checked who is leading this game. Game director has they / them pronouns. Explains a lot
Welp... I had a low excitement about this game, but it tanked even lower nowDragon Age 4's New Game Director Is Trans And That's Rad
Dragon Age 4's consistent departures have me worried, but I'm still holding out hopewww.thegamer.com
Immediately after announcing her promotion was Corinne Busche came with this statement about LGBTQIA+ representation in gaming. Because quality representation is so much more important than a quality game ...
