Anticipation is building towards The Game Awards 2018 this week where
more than 10 new games will be announced. We don't exactly know what those games will be, but there's
strong evidence pointing towards a new Dragon Age being one of them.
Though its reveal was never quite confirmed, BioWare studio boss Casey Hudson strongly hinted at it in a recent blog post. Now, a new report from VentureBeat claims
Dragon Age 4 (or whatever it'll be called) will indeed be revealed. But don't get your hopes up for a new installment any time soon.
The same report, citing "sources familiar with the studio, says that the new
Dragon Age is still at least three years ago. The site acknowledges that the timeline could still change, but that BioWare and EA "have not even settled on a name for the new
Dragon Age," which should give you a good sense at how far along they are with the game.
Assuming the report is accurate and the new
Dragon Age is still at least three years away, we're looking at a launch on the next generation of consoles. That begs the question exactly how much of this new game will be shown during The Game Awards on Thursday, or if it'll only be an announcement.
If it's the latter then we can probably expect a reveal similar to what Bethesda did with
Elder Scrolls VI and
Starfield. Both of those games aren't expected to release for quite a few more years, likely on next-gen systems, but Bethesda announced them each with a simple teaser trailer that revealed little more than a logo.
You can tune in to The Game Awards on Thursday, December 6 at 5:30 pm PT/8:30 pm ET to see what EA and BioWare have in store for
Dragon Age. It'll be streamed on most major services, including YouTube, Facebook, Mixer, Steam TV, PSN, and Xbox LIVE.
