But for me, a person who has been not-so-patiently waiting to see just who the protagonist of the next Dragon Age was going to be, the phrase “new hero” is an immediate red flag to me that this fourth game is going to perpetuate what I feel is one of the series’ greatest recurring failings: its commitment to undermining its own characters’ stories by constantly changing perspectives before their stories are done. To most people, this doesn’t feel like much to read into.

However, this also came with an update to the Dragon Age website, complete with the following text: They were crumbs, but when we’ve literally heard nothing of substance about this game since it was announced at the 2018 Game Awards, it was enough to reignite the fandom. There was concept art, in-progress animation, and even clips of voice actors recording their lines like Gareth David-Lloyd reprising his role as party member turned surprise villain Solas. I might’ve even thrown my lunch across my living room when Bioware General Manager Casey Hudson showed up on yesterday’s Gamescom stream. The developer diary wasn’t much, but it was enough to send the fandom screaming into The Breach.

Yesterday, Bioware finally acknowledged the next Dragon Age game in a way that went beyond tweets for the first time in literal years.
