BioWare isn't ruling out releasing remasters of older parts of Dragon Age, but there is a serious problem

A few days ago Dragon Age: The Veilguard was released. There is a lot of attention to the new part of the famous series and the developers do not miss the opportunity to make various statements.

Here's What We Know

Back in January 2024, a rumour appeared in the network that BioWare is developing a remake of the role-playing game Dragon Age: Origins. The source was questionable, but as it turns out, his information might be true!

The Veilguard's creative director John Epler said in an interview with Rolling Stone that his team doesn't rule out developing remasters (or maybe remakes) of older parts of Dragon Age.

However, the game designer noticed that it wouldn't be as simple as releasing Mass Effect: Legendary Collection. The thing is that the games about Commander Shepard are created on Unreal Engine, which is easy to work with and most developers are very familiar with it. In turn, Dragon Age and Dragon Age 2 are created on their own Eclipse engine, which is practically unfamiliar to modern BioWare employees and is obviously technically outdated. Accordingly, if the idea of remasters gets to the realisation, most likely they will be created on another engine, probably on Frostbite, on which Dragon Age: Inquisition and The Veilguard are made. But in that case, they could be completely different games, as the engine plays an important role in game mechanics and graphical design.
