BioWare has softened the blow ofthe newsthat neitherDragon Age 4or Mass Effect 5 will make an appearance at EA Play Live later this month by releasing some brand new Dragon Age 4 concept art.
Dragon Age 4 executive producer, Christian Dailey, shared the new image on Twitter with an accompanying message that reads, “sorry for no EA Play news this year but please know that the team is heads down with a lot of momentum and making great progress. We are excited to share more when the time is right. Please stay safe and have a great weekend!”
Hi Friends – sorry for no EA Play news this year but please know that the team is heads down with a lot of momentum and making great progress. We are excited to share more when the time is right. Please stay safe and have a great weekend! @SerGoldman @dragonage pic.twitter.com/eveXFbJtgYJuly 2, 2021
Based on the insignia in the corner of the image and the clothing of the characters, the art Dailey shared features the Antivan Crows, an organization of thieves, assassins and spies with a long, important and bloody history in Antiva and Thedas as a whole.
The Antivan Crows have made an appearance in the games before in the form of Dragon Age: Origins companion Zevran but there’s still a lot to learn about them. This image suggests there’s a chance we’ll see a little more of them in Dragon Age 4 and, based on the well-dressed chaos we’re seeing here, we want to.
This isn’t the first piece of concept art that Dailey has shared to tide fans over since Dragon Age 4’s announcement, either. Previous posts have featured another Thedas organization, theGrey Wardens, as well asa mageandan archerwith some pretty intriguing backgrounds.
What to expect
Solid information on Dragon Age 4 is still pretty thin on the ground and at the moment the game doesn’t yet have a solid release date. The mostrecent trailerfor the game was released during the 2020 Game Awards with a Varric voiceover teasing “demons, dragons, Darkspawn and even the Dread Wolf.”
While it’s disappointing that Dragon Age 4 and Mass Effect 5 won’t be present at this year’sEA Play Live, it seems that the show will still be worth watching for updates on some of EA’s other big franchises.
