He said that the release of Dreadwolf has been pushed back several times and that it was originally supposed to be released in September 2023. The date was then moved to March 2024, but now it looks like it might not drop until Summer 2024.

Will Dreadwolf Ever Become a Reality?

"At one point, the date they were looking at was next month – September 2023 – but internally, Dragon Age 4 keeps getting pushed back. They moved the internal expectations to March 2024 a while ago. March 2024, that’s pretty soon, right? Well, guess what, it’s not coming out then, either. They pushed it back again. It is not coming out until Summer 2024 at the earliest at this point. This is not them talking publicly, this is just from my reporting, so if it moves again, don’t be surprised in any way. I think it’s very likely it moves back even further"

In the wake of recent news, it has been confirmed that staff working on Mass Effect 5 – or whatever the next game in the series will be titled – were migrated over to bolster Dreadwolf efforts. With fewer resources focused on Mass Effect 5, it’s very likely that development on that project will also face sizeable delays.

Do you still hold out hope that Dreadwolf or Mass Effect's next instalment will be released at some point in the next decade?
