BioWare is working on an unannounced game that is “very Dragon Age”, shares details about Anthem

In a new blog post, BioWare’s Casey Hudson revealed that the company is currently working on some unannounced projects, including one that is very Dragon Age-ish. In addition, Hudson has shared some additional details about BioWare’s next title, Anthem.

Let’s start with the unannounced project. As Hudson revealed, there are some internal small teams that are envisioning future BioWare games, and they’re designing approaches that are different from Anthem — including one that’s very Dragon Age. Hudson did not reveal whether this Dragon Age-ish game is a part of the series or a new IP that shares gameplay similarities with it.

Regarding Anthem, Hudson claimed that players will be the centre of the story, they will decide what happens next and they will become the heroes (even though this is a multiplayer and not a single-player game).

“In a BioWare game, you should feel like the story is about you. You create your own character, you decide what happens next, and you become the hero. I think the reason people are concerned about whether these things are possible in a multiplayer game is because it just hasn’t been solved well before.”

Hudson concluded that BioWare is taking this problem head-on and structuring the entire game design to provide a specific solution for this, and it will be sharing details on how it works very soon.

  1. Thats true, i cant believe what they do Mass Effect and Star Wars,Dead Space, Red Alert Etc.. They just kill small game companies.

  2. What a coincidence, as EA is working on something for BioWare as well. It’s something very “Maxis” style for when Anthem falls on its face.

    Look forward to it BioWare.

  3. That was the plan originally, no sequel was planned for it, that’s why you could kill Lelianna or the warden could die for example, they had to find loop around as soon as it was proven such success as to get an expansion pack and sequels…

    1. They should have gone with a canon ending with minor variables instead of making crappy retcons. That or the sequels should be spin offs kinda like “what if i choose ending A” and other game showing ending B,etc

  4. Yawns-ville man. I cant think of anything less interesting than Bioware and their offerings. They’re just trying to appear relevant I suppose.

  5. “very Dragon Age-ish”

    So, wait, let me get this right; they’re making Dragon Age 4 and a Dragon Age ripoff?

    Wow, the originality is truly seeping out of BioWare’s every orifice these days…….

    1. I means instead of Forgotten Reams lore, they will stuff it with sexual orientation stories and land-whales winning.

  6. I wonder if they’ll allow you to map controls to more than just the right and left mouse buttons in this one.

    BioWare. What a travesty….

  7. Cisquisition was bad and I think it didn’t sell well (EA never released the sales number). After ME: Andromeda it’s clear that Bioware doesn’t have a good writing team anymore so why are they wasting their time and money on another Dragon Age? A reboot?

  8. If this was Bioware of BG2- or (at least) NWN-era there would be a reason for excitement. But post-Mass Effect Bioware can only make either a by the numbers cover shooter with primitive dialogue wheels or a MMO-like grind with repetitive activities.

    Even an utterly forgetable, mediocre cargo-cult/necromancy of Obsidian is more interesting than what a yet another soulless EA-puppet can make

  9. This is what is known as a dead cat bounce. Because BioWare is no more.

    EA is simply using the name to hide a group or SJW and feminazis that use once beloved game franchises to dispense political propaganda.

  10. For most of us, it did.
    I never infected my computer with Origin so Dragon Age 2 and 3 were left untouched.
