Setting and story: Where is the role-playing game set?
Dragon Age: Dreadwolf is set in various lands of Thedas. Bioware confirmed this in their post on (Dragon Age Day 2023)
The Empire of Tevinter was announced first (Bioware confirmed Tevinter as the setting) 2021 in their official book for the studio’s 25th anniversary. We have never been able to visit the dangerous mage kingdom ourselves
In addition to Tevinter, we will also be able to explore Antiva, Revain and Anderfels in Dragon Age 4. There are probably other locations too.
In Tevinter the mages are in power, dark arts like blood magic are not as frowned upon as in the rest of the world.
The following key points about the story are already known:
- New hero: As the Game Awards trailer revealed, we’re playing a completely new character this time, so our Inquisitor isn’t coming back, at least not as the main character. Apparently we’re a real nobody this time, not one of fate’s chosen ones.
- Old acquaintances: However, we certainly won’t have to do without old faces entirely – if Varric’s statements in the trailer are to be believed, then he will probably be back as a companion. Perhaps other companions from previous parts will also reappear? Because of the announced Tevinter setting, the mage and fan favorite Dorian, for example, would be a good choice.
- Dragon Age: Dreadwolf continues the story of Inquisition and we meet a familiar antagonist. Of course, you’ll know who the “Dreadwolf” is once you’ve played through Inquisition.
In teasers, red lyrium also appeared Lyrium is a crystalline, magical substance that mages and templars use to strengthen their special abilities. It gives users great power, but corrupts their minds.
Gameplay: How does the RPG play?
Dragon Age: Dreadwolf will be a role-playing game, that should be clear. Beyond that, however, there is little information on what the gameplay will look like.
What is clear, however, is that the RPG will be a single-player game. Originally, Dragon Age: Dreadwolf was supposed to have a strong focus on live service and multiplayer elements. But EA rowed back and confirmed that the role-playing game will offer a purely single-player experience
In Dreadwolf we will once again assemble a colorful group of different characters, to brave the dangers in the game. Friendships, dramas and romances will play a role within the group. It is not yet known whether it will be based more on the classic role-playing game Origins or the more action-packed Inquisition.
In February 2023 there was a major gameplay leak, which probably showed early gameplay of Dreadwolf. However, it is unclear how representative the gameplay shown there actually is of the role-playing game.
