Earlier in the week, Geoff Keighley disclosed that developer BioWare, the team responsible for Mass Effect and Star Wars: Knight of the Old Republic will be returning to The Game Awards this year to share a first-hand look at the next Dragon Age title. For the coming game, the developer previously shared that the next entry is still in early development and it came to be a surprise fans could get a glimpse at the game.

In the trailer, we do get a sense of the next entry with in-engine rendered footage of the project. But as expected, full-fledge gameplay is still left out, at least for this time. Thankfully, this does suggest the game might be arriving sooner than expected if BioWare is confident in showing footage this soon.

You can watch the teaser trailer in the video below:

“Enter Thedas, a vibrant world of rugged wilderness, treacherous labyrinths, and glittering cities,” the new Dragon Age website reads. “The Dragon Age is a time of warring nations, savage combat, and secret magics. Now, the fate of this world teeters on a knife’s edge.

“Thedas needs a new hero; one they’ll never see coming. Forge a courageous fellowship to challenge the gathering storm. Friendship, drama, and romance abound as you bring striking individuals together into an extraordinary team. Become the hero and light the beacon of hope in their darkest moments.”

BioWare in the trailer goes on to reveal that the tile for the game is ‘Dragon Age’. Rather than the presumed ‘Dragon Age 4’, perhaps the team is going to retell the story of the series in a new and modern approach. Of course, we will continue to learn more as time unravels – so take that with little fact until more is shared.

Are you excited for the newest Dragon Age after the latest trailer?
