Controversial combat system, online elements and constant concept changes: Insider talks about the current development phase of Dragon Age: Dreadwolf
Renowned insider Tom Henderson has once again shared exclusive information. This time the focus is on BioWare's highly anticipated role-playing game Dragon Age: Dreadwolf.
Here's What We Know
Henderson's sources claim that Dragon Age: Dreadwolf has been in development since 2015, and in that time the game's concept has changed drastically several times.
The game was originally planned to be multiplayer, but then they decided to make a classic single-player RPG. Still, the game retained a significant portion of the network elements, so Dreadwolf is reminiscent of games like Destiny.
Insider has information that, in its current form, the fourth Dragon Age has an extensive hub-location from which the player is sent on various quests. Again, and this is similar to Destiny, indicating a conflict in the overall idea and its implementation.
As for Dragon Age: Dreadwolf's combat system, it's not all good either. Henderson reports that it resembles the battles from Final Fantasy XV, and that's clearly not good news for Dragon Age fans. The player can only control the protagonist, and the companions act at their own discretion.
According to sources, the game will clearly not be released in 2023, as much of the game's text is unwritten, the characters have no lines, and the game as a whole is far from finished.
To recap, the last game in the Dragon Age series, titled Inquisition, was released in 2014 and received mixed reviews from gamers and critics.
