BioWare promises Dragon Age 4 is coming along just fine

According to an update from BioWare, production on Dragon Age 4 seems to be going well.

Gary McKay is the studio general manager.

For the next Dragon Age, we are right in the middle of Production, which is a great feeling. Our blueprint was completed last year, so we’re now focused on building out our vision: creating amazing environments, deep characters, strong gameplay, impactful writing, emotional cinematics – and much more. The blueprint for the game is well understood and the team is focused.

It has been seven years since the release of Dragon Age: Inquisition and almost four years since the first images from DA4 were teased. There is a short trailer here, some concept art and short stories there, and a report that says that the developers abandoned plans to add more features to the game after Anthem failed. The studio promised a more regular stream of information on the game will start in the coming months, while some fans are more than content to wait patiently for BioWare to serve up some Eggs for scrambling.

McKay wrote that later this year you will start to hear more from the Dragon Age team in the form of blogs and social content.

The Dragon Age-focused part of the blog was not the only part. McKay said that the Mass Effect team is hard at work on new ideas for the next Mass Effect game, which sometimes masquerades as a very good action game.

Several high-profile Dragon Age developers have left in the last three years, causing concern that the game's production was in jeopardy. Fans have been concerned about the state of the game. McKay said that while he understands fans are eager for information on Dragon Age 4, the primary concern is a quality product that will inevitably take time.
