I think in general that is actually a disturbing trend in game development these days. Pure sequels are just taking longer and longer to release. Only Ubisoft and Call of Duty are the only major franchises which seem to be sticking to kind of yearly releases...and Ubisoft tends to rotate theirs...now Covid is probably a reason we haven't gotten another full release AC or Ghost Recon yet but we will have to see if even they join that particular pile. No, companies for better and worse, seem quite content with the perpetual expansion model rather then release an entirely new game model. I mean even the KOTOR remake which was announced last year has basically not had any new info drop since which makes one wonder when it will be coming out. 2025 at this rate? Anything on Mass Effect other then the poster? How about Hogwarts Legacy?

I guess, but I find myself not feeling like watching it. Not a big fan of League. For what it’s worth I know nothing of League or have any desire to play it but Arcane is still one of the best shows I’ve ever seen. It's worth seeing for itself, or even if only for how it will probably influence the CGI sphere for years to come, similar to how Spiderman: Into The Spiderverse did. Quite happy with that, 'cuz I love how both of them look.

Arcane's animation is gorgeous, but I wonder if DA would translate as well to such a style. LoL was already pretty cartoony in its design, and a disconnect between the show and the game is easier to stomach since LoL has no real story on its own, excluding supplemental material. Dragon Age is different. You could show me CGI Cartoon Alistair, and he would probably look sharp as hell, but I'm not sure my mind would go "Ah yes, it's Alistair Dragonage!"
EDIT: I should mention (Further confessions of a fake fan) that I've never seen the Dragon Age anime and only skimmed some of the comic books. Nothing I've heard of either makes me feel a need to rectify that.

I don't think creators of hypothetical DA show need to copy Arcane's look up to the last detail in order for it to still do nifty things with animation or textures used with 3d models, or the way they approach backgrounds, details or effects, etc. However, as much as I think DA4 will look like refined DAI (ergo: more on the realistic side, but with some sort of characteristic flair), there's one more thing DAI has introduced that I see now widely accepted as 'DA style' - the Tarot Card style, which is pretty well recognized among the fans (given the amount of fanart it spurred that's utilizing its characteristics) and I think it'd serve as a great basis for a very atmospheric kind of animated show.

I'd say come up with a distinct artwork of your own rather than copy what's established. I do think Dragon Age has a lot of material that it could explore if there's an animation.

- A very helpful DA Fan has pointed out this recent interview with Mark Darrah...
Mark - "I was the Executive Producer for Dragon Age: Origins, Dragon Age II and Dragon Age: Inquisition. I came onto Anthem to land that project in the last sixteen months or so, and then I came back to what is turning into Dragon Age 4. And then I resigned in late 2020, leaving in early 2021."
Q: Is the Inquisitor playable in the next game?
Mark - ''I am not working on the next game. I imagine it will continue to go with a new protagonist. Will the Inq show up, I don't know. I mean, they don't have an arm, so, uh."
Q: Was there ever any talk about bringing back the HoF?
Mark - "So, it's been discussed on and off, the problem is that's a very quantum character, you could be dead. But there has been conversations about like - probably never as a PC, but bringing them back in the same sort of way that Hawke shows up in Inquisition, to sort of have them as - to close that loop - it was discussed. I don't know if it'll happen or not, I don't know where the story for Dragon Age 4 is, at this point. But yeah, it is a conversation that's been had. The one thing is that it's a silent character, so it's like, if you bring them back as a cameo - do you voice them? Do you not voice them and then explain why they don't talk? It's not really clear what the right path is there, and often when you end up in situations where all answers are going to make a significant percentage of people mad, then those things tend to not happen."
Mark - "One of my pitches in the early days of Dragon Age 4, when we were trying to convince EA to do/make a toolset for DA4 was to find a talented modhouse, like a group that's doing mods, and essentially uplift them and turn them into a studio that could then rebuild Dragon Age: Origins. But [with] Origins, [out] of all of them [the DA games], you also have to really think about remaster or remake [and the differences between them]."

Though I like it's design. I’m still not interested in League, but Arcane floored me. It’s a very impressive show both in writing and visuals. It’s also extremely accessible in that you don’t have to know about League at all. In fact I think that might make it better since then you won’t have any preconceptions about which characters are important. That’s an important point that a Dragon Age series would have to master to appeal outside the fan base. Visually, what they might take notes on is Arcane’s near seamless blending of beautifully drawn 2D elements and 3D model animation with a “painted” texture. The exact art style wouldn’t match Dragon Age, but the approach is an interesting one.

From the EA Investors Conference Call...They did say they were looking into "scripted entertainment" (read: TV/Movie series) possibilities for their franchises, and BioWare was name-dropped as one with franchises they're looking into. Apparently not so much as a profit driver on their own, but as a way to boost those franchises. For more info on EA's latest Financial Quarter: ir.ea.com/home/default.aspx

Weird that “The Sims” was listed in that spiel about a potential show, but I guess he was just listing their big franchises.
The main thing that came across to me is that he wanted to get across that they were open to the idea of some sort of show from their IP but didn’t want to reveal anything specific. Emphasized the benefit of such shows is to raise the profile of the IP rather than direct revenue.
Could be: - Nothing in the works (yet if ever) - Something is in the works but they don’t want to talk about it yet
So, doesn’t tell us much but it’s neat.
