Geoff Keighley just released concept art for the brand new Dragon Age, teasing that fans will want to tune in for the Game Awards next Thursday on December 10.
It makes sense that announcements are trickling in given that December 4 is ‘Dragon Age Day’ which has seen a fair few other tidbits follow suit, such as BioWare’s own Minrathous Shadows, a short story by Sheryl Chee.
What exactly will be shown at the Game Awards is unknown but fans are already flooding Geoff’s mentions begging for it to be more than just concept art. However, with the release date being April 2022 at the earliest, there might not be much to show just yet.
The last time there was a Dragon Age announcement at the Game Awards, in 2018, fans were given an official teaser trailer in the vein of Square Enix’s first-ever Avengers drop. It didn’t show much but it let the world know that Dragon Age 4 was underway.
The trailer showed off the Dread Wolf moniker, a reference to Fen’Harel, as well as a red lyrium idol which featured in Dragon Age 2 as a key component in the corruption of Kirkwall’s templars. It resurfaced again in Inquisition in a quest that saw players thrust into the future where Corypheus was unleashing chaos.
Hopefully, in the coming Game Awards, more will be shown than trickles of lore and references to games past. The hyped-up splash might not be quite so big if all that is revealed is more concept art. For now, Geoff has shown off a beastly foe standing toe-to-toe with a knight looking like Artorias of Dark Souls himself. It’s a nice distraction from all the troubles going down at BioWare, if anything.
