Mark Darrah, the executive producer at Bioware has teased Dragon Age 4 reveal in a series of tweets with cryptic statements about all sorts of things that will appear in the next Dragon Age title.

Fernando Melo, a BioWare employee for over a decade recently announced his departure from the studio and Dragon Age 4 which he was the lead producer for. This the second high profile departure from the developer which doesn't look good.

EA and BioWare have suffered two major failures due to the focus on games as a service in just two years, with Mass Effect: Andromeda and Anthem. It appears that the second take on Dragon Age 4 is being influenced by the same mentality.

We must admit that seeing two very familiar BioWare mugs smiling back at us after a lengthy absence from the scene is a great way to start the day but the company's co-founders Greg Zeschuk and Ray Muzyka only came for the Order of Canada.

Rumours about the next entry in Dragon Age series kept popping up for months until The Game Awards and an official announcement happened. Unfortunately it didn't show much as the game is still several years away from full release.

Mike Laidlaw, of Dragon Age fame, took a break from AAA gaming in October 2017 when he left BioWare after 14 years of working there. He is now back to making, one year later, but this time on Ubisoft's roster, working on a secret project.

EA and BioWare have been slowly warming Dragon Age fans up lately, which culminated in a cryptic blog post where the latter announced more info about the next installment coming soon, likely hinting at a reveal during The Game Awards.

Bioware General Manager Casey Hudson has teased a Dragon Age announcement which could come in December. In a blog post on Bioware's official website, Hudson said that the development team have been working on some secret Dragon Age stuff.

Mike Laidlaw has recently been interviewed and he talked about the development of Dragon Age:Inquisition. Laidlaw admitted to certain parts of the game being "hollow" and if he could, he would try to remake it in Witcher 3's image.

Dragon Age II is the black sheep of Dragon Age family but it made its way to Xbox One. Origins received backwards compatibility treatment in 2017 and Inquisition was launched on current-gen consoles so Dragon Age trilogy is now complete.
