So before the call, what's everyone thinking?
1. Dreadwolf is slotted for FYQ3 (Oct-Dec) 2. Dreadwolf is slotted for FYQ4 (Jan-Mar) 3. Dreadwolf is not mentioned (or into the next fiscal year)
Also, I went back to the DA Day blog post and it says this summer's reveal will include a release date. So I guess even if we hear nothing on this call, we won't have to wait long to get a release date.

Both DAO and DAI have their anniversaries in November so it would make sense for DAD to release sometime in November 2024 but big if they need more time (could be because of the layoffs last year) i could imagine that DAD gets released in 2025. But there is no way in hell that EA will allow DAD a 2026 release.

A 2026 release and I am passed caring about the game or the franchise. I think it comes out this November.

So really only Cole and Sera are on my mind, until further info. Sera is a romance option so we can rule her out. Speaks for Lace Harding. By the way i know this always a boring argument for her but Lace Harding was in the last scene of DAI Trespasser which was basically a big tease with the dagger in the Tevinter map. If Harding is really that unimportant why have Bioware shown her in this final scene?
Ok, sorry, but I only meant DAI's playable characters. I'm in the middle when it comes to Harding, which actually possibly makes me think she's more likely than either Sera or Cole. I don't take romance options as 100% no, but it definitely turns it from a maybe-yes to a maybe-no in my mind. There's arguably a place for Cole in some kind of interaction with the Tevinter Circles and spiritual stories. I'd be surprised if Harding's not in DA4 at all, but things aren't clear enough to me that she's a companion, until there's marketing material that at least suggests she may be. But like, I'm not *disagreeing*. A female dwarf companion voiced by Ali Hillis wouldn't at all shock me. But on the other hand, I do like the little 'tradition' of a past companion going to the next installment, so I err on Cole or Sera, but good point about Sera (even if it doesn't convince me about her as much as it convinces you). I can imagine all sorts of stories that elevate Harding, involving Titans, sneaking in the streets, magic, stepping into influence - honestly I wouldn't even oppose her having a story that 'rhymes' with the Inquisitor in DAI, including scenes where she looks back on the events of DA4 in a sort of 'I looked up to him/her, but I had no idea that _____ etc'. Its fine to turn a smaller character into something bigger, and the series already has a record of doing that successfully. I just don't yet buy her being a companion, part out of estimation, but yes, part out of just wanting a past companion to be a companion again haha

Not going to talk about any investor calls, but I'll predict the upcoming while of May-July game announcements: Oct-Nov release or otherwise Feb-Mar. Get it over with already. I'd be low-key stunned if we go through this period and Dreadwolf still has nothing. Like come on! I'd be surprised if it becomes a late 2025 date.

I don't take romance options as 100% no, but it definitely turns it from a maybe-yes to a maybe-no in my mind. I do because Bioware made a clear statement in the past about this and second DAD is the 4th maingame in the series who never have a returning romance companion. So Sera is out. If we don´t have the statement about romances no question this won´t be Sera it would be Dorian who is returning. Sure but the main problem with Cole ist that he can be a spirit or a human. If Cole returns as companion Bioware have to ignore this and retcon him because i highly doubt that they wrote for both human and spirit Cole the same dialogues. I think that DAD will break this tradition. Of course if Varric isn´t returning. Lets hope not By the way DAI would have broken this tradition already if Bioware hadn´t cancelled the DA 2 Addon Exalted March in which they had killed Varric.
Remember this DAI concept art? No Varric and Blackwall has been a dwarf.
Harding is a good choice for a normal (for some boring) character which has to deal with stuff which are way bigger than herself. Also 11 years have passed since DAI so who knows what happened to Harding offscreen?
Edit:Also there obviously some jokes about some of the DAI areas like the Hinterlands in DAD. And is there any better person to tell to jokes than the one who has always scouted those areas?

Looking at concept art makes me sad in a way. 'What could've been but never will' is always such a sad thing to say. It's like we were shown a gorgeous Qunari lady but will end up with nothing like her.

By the way i am currently watching the first semi finale of the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 so out of the reason of pure fun which should be songs from each nation of Thedas? I am aware this more an european and australian thing and most americans have never heard about it but what the heck. Also the Eurovision is weird so you can chose some crazy song and not the more typical popsongs. Edit: WTF Ireland!?! What have i watched?!? I start with David Garrett aka Anders with Dangerous for Ferelden.

It's like we were shown a gorgeous Qunari lady but will end up with nothing like her. At this point '' gorgeous Qunari lady '' has persisted in several concept arts surrounding Dreadwolf I'd be SHOCKED if the game didn't have one. But yes, concept art is a double-edged sword. On one hand '' oh this is cool! '' but on the other '' ugh, this is cool, why isn't it in the game.. '' My favorite is the male qunari Inquisitior as the new Divine concept art. Oh what could've been...

What, you've never seen a female Qunari before? This was more like Hellblade meets Diablo. Germany and the UK as usually not that good. And Finland is pretty crazy like always.
My favorite is the male qunari Inquisitior as the new Divine concept art. Oh what could've been... I am glad that Bioware had cut this. I would hate this player power fantasy choice which would ruin the believable rules of the ingame world.

I think or should i better say i want to believe that this IP title is Dreadwolf. Edit: But to be honest i have currently no idea what other EA IP this could mean otherwise.

This is what I was expecting, as well. BioWare has a full reveal planned this summer and EA didn't want to steal their thunder.

Yeah, as much as we were talking about maybe some info this evening, it was also quite likely there'd be nothing.
But yep, summer reveal stuff and all that, it'll all be clearer soon (hopefully!)

This is what I was expecting, as well. BioWare has a full reveal planned this summer and EA didn't want to steal their thunder. A. I still think it's because they aren't one hundred percent sure of the release date. And B. If you'll notice everything else on there, pretty much, are things we'd know were coming for awhile. Mostly Sports games. *if* DA is the owned ip title EA might still feel its too early to announce it here given their recent history *IE JS*. Probably want to get closer so they can do what they feel is a proper marketing campaign.

If the game is scheduled to be released this year, we'll find out the release date definitely during the 'reveal' (and in this case it's really unlikely they won't be at aiming for November/the week between DAO and DAI's release). If the game will be released next year, I think there are good chances they'll at least reveal if it'll be released in summer/fall/etc.
