Dragon Age 4: Story, trailer and everything you need to know
(Pocket-lint) — The Dragon Age series is one of the most monumental in all of gaming, with enormous storylines playing out with dozens of characters, factions and demons to consider, but we haven't had a new game since Inquisition came out back in 2014, quite a hiatus.
However, EA and BioWare have finally confirmed what was long suspected — the next Dragon Age is in the works, and we've even got a trailer to go with the news. We've gathered all the key snippets of information you need to know about the upcoming game, right here.

Of course, it's very much all CGI, without any gameplay at all, so this is definitely an early look at the game's themes and not much more.
As such, we think that even late 2022 is even a bit optimistic target, to our minds, although EA and BioWare might well have the resources to spin it up more quickly than we're expecting.
EA has previously indicated that the game won't make it out before the end of 2022's fiscal year, though, and a recent VentureBeat report indicated that 2023 is the most likely release year for the project.
That's recently been backed up by industry insider Jeff Grubb, who thinks it will arrive in 2023 at the earliest, so don't expect it any day now.
When it comes to which platforms Dragon Age 4 is likely to appear on, we can be a little bit more confident. Given the timescale, and the fact that the game is still in fairly early development, it's very likely to be aimed at next-gen consoles only, coming out on the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S and skipping their forbears.
That's become all the more likely
