When will we get our DA4 prequel novel?

Asunder was pretty good. Even if it was technically and alternate timeline since Wynne and Shale were in it. I was actually hoping we'd see more of Rys and Evangeline in DAI, but they just got the War Table treatment.

I found Evangeline to be one of the most likable characters BioWar has made in a long time. Too bad she was wasted on a novel.

A new dragon age novel would certainly be welcome, but I'm guessing won't be announced DA4 has, which isn't gonna be any time soon

In a fairly recent pod cast Mike mentioned we had more Dragon Age things coming our way after Knight Errant, I don't know if he was talking novel or more comics or something else, but I got the impression he meant within the next six months.

I am super eager for another novel. The comics have been enjoyable, most especially Knight Errant, but I'm really hoping for a novel next year sometime, probably later in the year. This isn't based on anything other than me simply wanting one. At this point we're not even sure when the game is coming out so it's hard to predict when a novel might, but, as others have pointed out, they are usually released a month or so before the game. I think it was six months prior when Masked Empire came out, but I could be mistaken.

We don't KNOW because they haven't officially said, "We are in the process of making DA4." But we have brains and can understand what their intentionally unsubtle hints on twitter and hiring advertisements are for.

I really liked Liane's book so I would be thrilled if she wrote another.

I liked all of the outside game content except for Magekiller. Sadly, there is a lot of nuance not in DAI that was covered by Asunder and MAsked Empire, the two games that spanned the time between DA2 and DAI.

You learn a lot about what really started the Mage/Templar war (not really Anders)
the politics of the Winter Palace (who are you REALLY choosing and what are all the gossip you collect really talking about.)
Asunder also explains Cole's existence prior to the Inquisition. (Who is Rhys and who are these "friends" Cole used to have?)

Magekiller is, at best... a Calpernia story? Stuherland and Crew? Maybe? it had two good jokes. Showed a smidge of Tevinter? But anything important or that particularly added to the world of Thedas- no.

The Stolen Throne- fucking masterpiece
Calling - good, adds ton of backstory
Asunder - a very good and complex story
Masked Empire - kinda good with a suprising ending

Ugh...Bethany. That would be as boring as the first half of Masked Empire, which took me several months to read.

So, assuming there is a novel, what would it be about?

Hey first part of the Masked Empire was the best part

I don't know why people here hate politics so much

Not the same kind of politics. I meant courtly intrigue and all that
