BioWare Gives An Update On Next Dragon Age And Mass Effect Games
BioWare GM Gary McKay has provided an update on the development status of two of the studio's upcoming high-profile games, which are new entries in the Dragon Age and Mass Effect franchises. In short, the new Dragon Age game is in the middle of development while it appears the next Mass Effect title is at a much earlier stage of development and is thus seemingly further out on the horizon.
In a blog post, McKay confirmed that the untitled new Dragon Age game is «right in the middle» of production. «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,» McKay said. «The blueprint for the game is well understood and the team is focused.»

McKay also provided some background on the various stages of development that BioWare games go through. The first are concept and pre-production, which is when a team determines the creative vision for a project and begins to lay the groundwork for its technical underpinnings. In this stage of development, «iteration and flexibility are key,» McKay said. New ideas are suggested, tested, and refined during this stage. When this is complete, full-on production begins, and this is all about taking the ideas and making them into something playable. After that comes the alpha and beta phases of production, where further refinements and polish are applied ahead of launch.
