Dragon Age 3: Inquisition Trailer Shows Off New Engine

Dragon Age 3: Inquisition is getting ready to bring you a brand new Dragon Age experience so grand it couldn’t be contained by the previous games engine. It sounds like they’ve taken the Frostbite 2 engine and tweaked it to make it their own. Thankfully the trailer, according to the title card, is all game footage so you can already see the fruits of their labor and it is looking mighty fine. BioWare hasn’t yet revealed too much about Dragon Age 3: Inquisition but given the subtitle I’m thinking we can expect raids, religion and rebellion aplenty come Fall 2014! Head down past the jump to check out the little taste of a trailer they’ve released so far.

PRESS RELEASE

BIOWARE ANNOUNCES DRAGON AGE 3: INQUISITION

The Return of Dragon Age will be Bigger, Deeper and Powered by Frostbite 2

GUILDFORD, UK – September 17, 2012 – BioWare, a Label of Electronic Arts, today announced Dragon Age™ 3: Inquisition, the next chapter in the award-winning role-playing game (RPG) franchise, is in development at BioWare Edmonton and BioWare Montreal. Coming in late 2013, Dragon Age 3: Inquisition combines the storytelling legacy BioWare is known for, with deep RPG gameplay, all on a brand new RPG game engine underpinned by EA’s critically-acclaimed Frostbite™ 2 technology.

“The Dragon Age team has been working on Dragon Age 3: Inquisition for almost two years now,” said Aaryn Flynn, General Manager of BioWare Edmonton and BioWare Montreal.  “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.”

Added Flynn, “At the same time, 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 Dragon Age franchise has received over 80 awards from critics around the world, and has sold over 8 million copies to date*. Created by BioWare, the property has spawned many novels, an animated film, comic books, collectibles and more since Dragon Age: Origins launched in 2009.
