When Will DA4 be released?/ Bioware's release strategy.

Maybe like the Dishonored series? With co op potential and story/characters at Bioware levels? Hmm . . .could get interesting. Also, Bioware has yet to enter the post apocalyptic Fallout, Horizon Zero, Last of Us type scene. Or the Bioware version of Red Dead?

New ip or not, 2020 is WAY too long, and even 2019 is long. I don't know when they started working on it, but i can't say that i would be ok with waiting from 2014 till 2019 for a DA game that uses the same engine as the previous one.

Way too long anyway, and with DA class system and specs, you can never know if there's gonna be what you like to play as, in the game. It almost never is anyway. So bleh >.>

If they are planning to release it then worst case 2020 probably but i doubt EA allows a 6 years delay between entries. then again i never thought they let Mass Effect IP rest for 5 years. not that it helped much anyway sadly. i would say 2018 but the new IP makes me go for 2019 since they probably want to put a distance between their releases.

What would you like to play as?

All I know is, if the release date for the next single player Elder Scrolls is announced, any other game due for release around the same time will suddenly have production problems.

I think that it will be a world ending story the ending of DAI seems to lead that way.

Couldn't have said it better myself. The only thing we knew about Ostwick is that Isabella was halfway there after taking the relic before she knew she had to come back

*hugs*

And... it looks like we'll need a new poll. 

I said H1 2019 and thought that seemed too long between releases.

As far as I'm concerned, it's already taken too long. They were fools in the extreme to abandon a well-regarded franchise to work on a new IP that wound up being sub-par.

They also should never have released that teaser trailer. They built hype without having anything significant to show, they are burning the goodwill of the fans that have already waited five years with no news. Nobody else even cares they exist.

It's still in preproduction... it will take a few years unless they crunch it out from start to finish which I really, really hope they won't do.

2023 is my guess.

If they crunch, and I am talking mad crunch, like take Anthem crunch and x2 it, then it's 18 months to release, if they leave pre-production today. So q1 2021 is the absolute earliest they could come out with it. Realistically, it's looking more like Q4 2023, with the inevitable delay to Q1 2024. That makes it around 9 months short of a decade, between DA:I and DA4. And it's not like it is a forbidding timespan. After all, it's been how many years since FF7 to get that remake? And how many years since BG2 for Larian to announce BG3? But DA:I is nowhere close to the league of such a heritage to justify anyone's wait. At least, anyone that isn't a hardcore Bioware fan and, even so, 5 years of wait after the release of Anthem? Anthem? You need a cheap intermediate title to flush out, just to stay in people's minds. I mean, even in the slow march to Dragon Age: Origins, which had production start around after ... KotoR? You had Jade Empire. You had Mass Effect. You're going to keep traction going with Anthem Updates? Casey, my man, I don't see it happening. You need something out at some point in 2021. And the way you are going right now, you're not going to hit that.
