  • New Mass Effect Has A Late 2014- Mid-2015 Release Window

    Take heart Mass Effect fans, EA and Bioware are already hard at work on the next game in the series.

    The fact there is going to be a new Mass Effect game is no surprise with Bioware’s Casey Hudson tweeting about this back in November but now Mike Gamble, producer on Mass Effect 3, has given the game a very early release window.

    “Late 2014 to mid-2015. I honestly can’t tell you an exact because full development on the game started a month or two ago.”

    So I guess we can be pretty safe to say that the next title in the franchise will be on next-gen consoles. The game will be a completely new story not involving Commander Shepard (for obvious reasons). It has not been announced if the title will be a prequel or a true sequel.

    Gamble went on to talk about the use of a new engine for the game and more.

    “The game isn’t far along in development so I can’t comment on specifics because they isn’t any yet. Frostbite 2 is a really good game engine that we are also using on Dragon Age 3. As far as release date, there’s nothing to be announced yet. You’ll hear more about the new Mass Effect game in 2013.”

     

  • Dragon Age 3 Officially Announced

    Can Bioware Win Back Dragon Age Fans With Third Entry?

    Bioware has announced that the Dragon Age franchise will be returning to consoles next year and will be using a new engine.

    General manager of Bioware Montreal and Edmonton Aaryn Flynn also seems to know that a lot of fans were turned off by Dragon Age 2 (this one included) and wants fans to know that a lot of work is going into making this game a brand new Dragon Age.

    “The Dragon Age team has been working on Dragon Age 3: Inquisition for almost two years now. 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.”

    Bioware is not resting on their laurels when it comes to how Dragon Age 3 will run. They have partnered up with DICE to use the Frostbite 2 engine as the games base. Frostbite 2 was used in the creation of last year’s Battlefield 3 and the game looked stunning so one can only guess how well it will be used in the hands of Bioware.

    Dragon Age 3: Inquisition will be released in late 2013.
