It is finally a good day to be a Dragon Age fan. After months of no news, middling news, and bad news, BioWare released a short teaser trailer for Dragon Age Dreadwolf earlier today, offering a glimpse at Thedas ahead of a new "full reveal" scheduled for summer 2024.
Is there any gameplay? Does this teaser tell us how the game will look? Have new story details been teased? No, no, and sort of but not really.

The stage is set. The Dread Wolf is ready to make his move."
