Ever since Electronic Arts and BioWare confirmed the official title of DA4 to be Dragon Age: Dreadwolf earlier this year, the hype has felt more palpable. One reason is the serious implications for Solas, the Dread Wolf, and much more from the title alone. Another, of course, is the promise fans will see more of Dragon Age: Dreadwolf before the year ends.
Now, the obvious scenario is that The Game Awards 2022 showcases a new Dragon Age: Dreadwolf trailer, perhaps one with a late 2023/early 2024 release window. That's months out, but many fans are still excited, so much so in fact that any cryptic Dragon Age: Dreadwolf social media post (like the recent PS5 testing one) has seen fans go into a frenzy. A recent social media post by the official EA Twitter account almost did the same, before another fandom showed up.
EA made a recent post where it tagged Dragon Age: Dreadwolf and asked fans what difficulty they would play it on. Casual, Normal, Hard, and Nightmare difficulties are seemingly confirmed as a result, but these are nothing new. It's just the fact that the main EA page was tweeting about it that got fans riled up, yet Need for Speed fans quickly spammed the post with calls for the title. Some made a joke, one asked for Most Wanted difficulty, and others just said the title. Dragon Age fans were still excited, but fans on the post will quickly see Need for Speed overtake it.
As unfortunate as it is to see a Dragon Age post hijacked, it's a method that somewhat works. Skate fans bombarded EA for what seems like years, and eventually, it announced Skate was in development. There are plenty of rumors about the Need for Speed game out right now, and it seems to be a cartoon-like game in a fictional setting. It has reportedly been internally delayed by about a month, but Criterion is reportedly shaping up to announce the game. It does all remain to be seen, of course, but it seems to be coming sooner rather than later.
In the meantime, there is still plenty of reason for Dragon Age: Dreadwolf fans to be excited--as this is the latest in small bouts of activity surrounding the franchise. It's not much, but for a game originally announced in 2018, a little something is better than nothing. Hopefully, the next trailer shows up and finally gives fans a more concrete looking at the upcoming game.
Dragon Age: Dreadwolf is in development.
