A full Dragon Age Dreadwolf reveal is just a few months away, BioWare teased in a new trailer for the upcoming game. “Trailer” might be a little generous, as it’s essentially just 58 seconds of some artwork and a few voiceover lines, but like the studio’s recent Mass Effect 5 tease, there’s still a fair bit to dig into here.
The news comes over a year after BioWare announced it had a full, playable alpha build of Dreadwolf and gave us a (very) brief glimpse of Dreadwolf lore.
Antiva and the Crows make an appearance in the trailer, which is pretty much what we’d expect at this point. BioWare teased a big role for the Crows and their homeland since the first pieces of Dreadwolf concept art. This time, we hear someone who’s presumably a leader of the Crows saying they fight for everyone and will remain the rulers of Antiva. The trailer switches to a shot of Rivain, as another voice mentions the risen gods and a stylized dragon eye flickers on the map.
This is Thedas. Enjoy it while it lasts. 💜

Then it’s time for Andefells and a Gray Warden saying he refuses to hide away in his castle before ending with a generic map shot clouded in heavy purple fog and an unknown voice that says “All the world will soon share the peace and comfort of my reign.” Not ominous at all.
BioWare promises a full reveal in summer 2024, so don’t expect anything at The Game Awards. Who on the Dragon Age team is actually left to work on the game is a bit murky. BioWare laid off several high-profile writers and developers who had previously been with the team since the early Mass Effect and Dragon Age days. The studio also laid off unionized contract workers who, as of N7 Day, have yet to receive their severance pay.
