We’ve been getting dribs and drabs of Dragon Age: Deadwolf, but BioWare’s latest community update shares a look at some codex entries while explaining that the game is aimed at both “veteran fans” and new players.
The Dragon Age: Dreadwolf devs explain that the new game “returns us to Thedas, where we can revisit friends and places that are familiar,” while also revealing a few codex entries offering a glimpse into the writing behind Dreadwolf.
Dragon Age 4 devs aim to welcome both “veteran fans” and newer players
“It’s been eight years since our last DA game came out. I’ve seen a lot of adults fondly reminiscing about how they played it as teens,” says senior writer Sylvia Feketekuty. “Dragon Age: Dreadwolf has been a balance of providing answers to long-standing questions for veteran fans while making a game that new players, or someone who only played DA:I years ago, can also get into.”
“Unlike the vast galaxies we explore in our other franchises, Dragon Age: Dreadwolf returns us to Thedas, where we can revisit friends and places that are familiar,” adds narrative editor Ryan Cormier. “Some fans haven’t spent time with Dragon Age since the 2014 release of Inquisition, while others have read every comic and story published since. Others never played a Dragon Age game at all and have no idea who the bald guy is (he’s Solas). It’s a varied audience, and development for Dreadwolf has included conversations about how the team can simultaneously reward our returning fans and welcome new ones.”
BioWare also gives us a look at three codex entries: one titled “misconceptions about the Necropolis,” one about a dragon named Vinsomer, and one from The Randy Dowager Quarterly.
