A high-level pitch for a scrapped Dragon Age project has been revealed by a former BioWare graybeard, outlining some ambitious, promising ideas. Unfortunately, this vision for Dragon Age never saw the light of day, with Dragon Age: The Veilguard releasing in its place.
With BioWare's tragic closure by EA this year, it's highly unlikely that we'll see any Dragon Age game ever again, or at least for the foreseeable future. With Dragon Age's latest entry launching in October 2024 to a decidedly mixed reception, BioWare's next major release was ostensibly going to be a new Mass Effect, but that ship has sailed. Interestingly enough, a concept trailer for Mass Effect 5 (AKA Mass Effect: Universe) was revealed following the news of BioWare's closure. This trailer doesn't feature any in-engine footage, and was clearly made with the sole intention of capturing the "vibe" of the upcoming Mass Effect, but it did a bang-up job: many fans agree that the trailer paints an enticing picture of what could have been. A similar thing has happened with this newly unveiled Dragon Age pitch.
If we ever get a remastered version of Dragon Age: Origins, it almost certainly won't be from EA, unlike Mass Effect Legendary Edition.
Longtime BioWare producer Mark Darrah recently drew back the curtain on what the current state of the Dragon Age franchise could have looked like. In a pitch book detailed by Darrah in the wake of BioWare's closing, a very different vision for Dragon Age 4 can be glimpsed.
