Dragon Age: Dreadwolf Suffered Slight Delay, Insider Suggests

Dragon Age: Dreadwolf may have suffered another internal delay but is still on course for release in 2024, according to a new report from a well-known industry insider. BioWare previously promised that the long-awaited full reveal of Dragon Age: Dreadwolf would be coming in summer 2024, but without committing to a specific release window.

That promise tracks with the claim that the game is currently targeting a fourth-quarter release. Looking at wider industry trends and EA's own track record, a late 2024 release implies Dragon Age: Dreadwolf is most likely to hit the market during the holiday season, historically the most lucrative period of the year for the gaming industry.
