BioWare has announced Dragon Age 3: Inquisition. Set to arrive in late 2013, Dragon Age 3 will be built on a new RPG engine "underpinned" by DICE's Frostbite 2 technology.
“The Dragon Age team has been working on Dragon Age 3: Inquisition for almost two years now,” said BioWare Edmonton and Montreal general manager Aaryn Flynn. “We’ve been poring over player feedback from past games and connecting directly with our fans. They haven’t held back, so we’re not either. With Dragon Age 3: Inquisition, we want to give fans what they’re asking for – a great story with choices that matter, a massive world to explore, deep customization and combat that is both tactical and visceral.”
“At the same time,” Flynn added, “we know we need new technology to truly make this vision become fully realized. And we’ve been working with DICE to make Frostbite 2 the foundation for the engine that is going to power Dragon Age 3.”
The title appears to confirm a leaked questionnaire that emerged last month, with details suggesting that “The empire of Orlais is riven by civil war; the Chantry is divided; the Templar order has broken away; the Mage circles have rebelled. Some unseen force is manipulating events, bringing about disorder and destruction. Out of this confusion emerges The Inquisition.” According to that leak, players will take the role as the leader of the Inquisition and can make their player “a rogue, warrior or mage and set up your crew from up to ten complex companions to lead them against those who attack you by systematically spying on, revealing and destroying them."
Prior to that, BioWare said back in March that it had “fully moved onto the next thing” in the Dragon Age franchise. Earlier, BioWare mentioned Dragon Age 3 on Twitter back in May of 2011, advertising that it was looking for environment artists. In a later interview at Gamescom 2011, BioWare’s Ray Muzyka discussed taking fan feedback from Dragon Age II and Dragon Age: Origins to heart as it looked toward the sequel.
