“We were clearly disappointed with some of the response from the fanbase, because we want them to be as excited about it as we are,” says EA Games Label boss Frank Gibeau.
Earlier this year, BioWare was hit with layoffs as part of a downsizing of parent company Electronic Arts, but fans have been reassured that the next Mass Effect game hasn’t been impacted. Likewise, Dragon Age: Dreadwolf’s development is still churning along, with BioWare putting it at the forefront of its focus and rumors suggesting that it could launch sometime later this year. Fans might be getting another look at the long-in-development Dragon Age: Dreadwolf at the Summer Game Fest in June.
If the recently posted job offering for a temporary development manager is any indication, BioWare could have yet another surprise up its sleeve for when Mass Effect 4 and Dragon Age: Dreadwolf are nearing completion. This mystery BioWare video game could truly be anything, from another spin-off of its two major properties to something entirely new. All there is to go on at the moment is a vague mention in the job posting, and it might still be some time before BioWare is ready to confirm any new games in its pipeline.
So a studio that spent years on anthem then this dragon age thing is now also working on another ip along with mass effect,
You think they would be worried that there brand has been on 3 major screw ups
Dragon age 3 launched broken with the frostbite engine yes its a good game but you can see in the late game how rough it was
anthem......
Mass effect 4 well that dev team was fired so yeah.....
They should make sure this new dragon age is a goat instead of putting more work on the table
How about they focus on those games and not over extend themselves? We don't need another Anthem.
Bioware died after Inquisition (some would even argue after ME3). They are no longer the same company.
Today Electronic Arts CEO Andrew Wilson provided a look into his ideas for the use of generative AI in the company's development processes.
EA is still a shady shitty company even with or without the help of Skynet. All they will use AI for is new ways to milk loot boxes and come up with the same sports title with a different year on the label. They are one company I truly do hate with a passion. They single handedly ruined some great franchise with their death touch. ME, Dead Space, Alice Returns, Dante's Inferno.
EA layoffs followed by 'Generative AI to Drive Monetization'
I knew it. Wonder what AI salary looks like? Nothing.
And take away creativity, and people's jobs as we've been seeing. Got it.
No thanks. I want my games created by people, not AI.
EA doesn't want to lose their title of worst gaming company ever, always trying their best to remain the champs!
What's sad is that they have so much potential to be a decent publisher.
SSX Tricky / SSX 3

Burnout 3 / 4 / 5
Remember when EA used to be awesome? It's all over with now. Unpolished, if not out-right broken games these days. Endless monetization and gambling in their sports games, and let's not forget wasting hours of your life trying to unlock characters or equipment using "surprise boxes!"
Gareth, Justin, and JoeyZ look at Layoff news for EA and Sony and reasons behind the downturn in the industry and more.
can they realy be suprised? dragon age 2 was junk.
Aiming for the mainstream was the first of many problems, much like Mass Effect 2.
I havent played either franchises, however from fans, I hear that the Hardcore intense and in-depth rpg elements from the first games were ripped out in favour of a more streamlined and accessible game for the greater market.
Its going to be interesting to see how they tackle ME 3 and DA 3, whether they will ultimately fold and get back to their RPG roots, or continue aiming for the massess.
Bioware more like. They've been drifting from me this whole gen anyway
I beat both Dragon Age games and I have to say I liked them both. After getting DA2 for $20.00 and playing it to the end, I have yet to understand the whining about the game. The only difference between D2 and DA2:
You don't get to pick a different race: That was only skin deep in DA.
Different environments: I don't care I done get to see the swamp if it is not in the story!
Dragon Age 2 is a very good game! And I like how DA2 mentions or show characters from DA and intertwines them!
Dragon Age 2 felt like a hit-or-miss with the changes. I loved parts of it, disliked other parts. Hopefully the slate will be made perfect for Dragon Age 3.
