Electronic Arts has finally announced the long rumored sequel to Dragon Age 2, called Dragon Age 3: Inquisition. The game is scheduled to be release in late 2013. Dragon Age 3 will use EA's Frostbite 2engine and is being developed by Bioware's Edmonton and Montreal studios.
"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," said Aaryn Flynn, general manager of BioWare Edmonton and BioWare Montreal. "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."
Executive Producer Mark Darrah said in statement on the game's official site that the development team contains many of the same people that have been working on the franchise since Dragon Age: Origins.
"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."
A survey leaked online last month that listed several tidbit of information and included potential subtitles for the game including Inquisition. But the information in that supposed leak has not been confirmed and Darrah wrote that fans would have to wait for story details.
"We are going to be as open as we can," Darrah wrote. "We will continue to have a dialogue with you and answer what questions we can. Keep providing us with your feedback. I'm excited about what we are working on and I hope that you will be too. I know this is going to be hard to believe, but it is just as hard for me not to tell you stuff as it is for you to wait."
