Without a doubt, when BioWare general manager Casey Hudson revealednews concerning the next installmentin theDragon Agefranchise was coming soon, fans of the fantasy role-playing series turned eagle eye toward the Game Awards 2018. Now, fans have had their first glimpse at the next entry, which includes a voiceover by the fan-favorite companion and betrayer of the Inquisition, Solas.

ThisDragon Agetease falls in lines with rumors circulating before the game awards ceremony. As predicted, it was just a simple tease, showcasing images that tie into the character of Solas, and it ends with the appropriate hashtag, #thedreadwolfrises. Moreover, because it did not show any release window, it makes the 3-year release speculation seem much more likely.

It’s also worth mentioning that this game is likely super early in development, as the sameDragon Age 4rumors indicate thatthe game does not even have an appropriate title yet.However, many diehard fans of the franchise are likely happy just to hear confirmation that the next installment is in the works, so check out the officialDragon Age 4tease below:

As many may remember, the dread wolf Solas was last seen in theInquisitionTrespasserDLC when the elven mage permanently disarmed the Inquisitor. The story to that DLC likely hinted at the plot of the forthcoming game, but it also teased Tevinter as the next in-game location. Of course, until more details aboutDragon Age 4become available, this is all in the hands of BioWare, but Tevinter would make the most sense lore-wise.

All things considered, fans of the franchise probably have a long wait on their hands, and it’s worth mentioning thatInqusitioninitially launched back in 2014. If the game doesn’t launch for three years, that would placeDragon Age 4in 2021, seven years after the previous entry. While this may seem like an incredibly long period of time, it’s likely because of how focused onAnthemBioWare has been, which also had apowerful presence at the Game Awards 2018.
