I said before that if the shift truly happened after that trailer, and the trailer was hinting at a MP-focused game, that changed to the protagonist's background/abilities, or even the decision in regards of which protagonist to go for, could change.
Regardless of the direction they took for the protagonist, planning one for a MP game and planning one for a SP aren't the same, so changes, to me, are very likely.
I hope you're right. It'll probably still e a new PC even with this change, but I hope it isn't.
That said, Trespasser did give us an option to "redeem" him, so I wonder what that means exactly? Or will it not matter too much and he dies no matter what, but the redemption option means he got a noble sacrifice ending?
I don't see, to be honest, how much that decision would affect his fate in Dreadwolf, without the Inquisitor back as a protagonist. Even if our new protagonist is backed by the Inquisition, why would they be restrained to that choice in Trespasser?
Yeah. If we have a new protagonist, they won't be held to the choices of the previous one. Otherwise what's the point since then they're just a puppet without a will of their own. More likely that choice will be used as a way to shape the Inquisitor's personality if they are a NPC.

I do think it's most likely a different kind of PC, but anything's possible. The main issue in regards of the Inquisitor is that we don't know how much the decision to go for a coop-based game (which, although I might be remembering it wrong, was also the path they took with the first version of DA4, lead by Laidlaw), could've affected the protagonist's choice.
If the reports are right and the game was truly a coop/Mp-based game, even if you had the chance to play alone, it'd have obviously affected the decision to not go for the Inquisitor, in the sense that it wasn't possible to bring him back as a MC.
Yep, that choice could help in shaping the Inquisitor as an NPC and the overall approach of the Inquisition's agents/forces towards Solas.

Vivid purple is an odd choice, but I’ll not read too much into it.
My only issue with the name is that I don’t know why it’s one word now.
Otherwise, yeah it makes sense. We knew Solas was going to be the major player since Trespasser, maybe even the end of vanilla Inquisition. I was never going to be wowed by the title of this game (unless it was something really out of left field), so I’m happy with this
Yeah that's kind of how I feel as well we already knew we were gtoing to be going up against Solas in this game. It's nice to have a name for it now but yeah I never really get wowed b ytitles onl yb ywha tgames show me when they're being marketed or when I play them.

Interesting how Dragon Age II is the only one not to get a name like this. This just 1000% confirms the game will be focused on the Dreadwolf, although it is not like we didn't already know that. Origins was based all around your Warden's start and their origin as the hero to stop the blight. Inquisition was based all around forming the Inquisition to stop Corypheus. Dreadwolf does the same with its name as those two.
I do wonder how much they will show later this year? I assume that means maybe on DA Day, since EA isn't doing an EA Play event this summer. They will be at Summer Games Fest on the 9th but with the wording from Bioware I doubt "later this year" is 7 days from now. I do hope that Dreadwolf wraps up the story they started in Origins. Origins came out in 2009, Dreadwolf is going to be releasing 14 years later. I don't know if I could wait until like 2030 for a DA:5 to continue it.

Oh, I'm still assuming the worst because most likely that'll be the case. I won't start hoping until we see a prosthetic left hand in the trailer when the protagonist appears or they straight up confirm it or something. Yeah if it was MP-based it made sense since there would be many playable characters running around. That was weird even in DAIMP where you could have two of the same person, so having four Inquisitors wouldn't make sense.
Yeah. Unfortunately with how terribly they've handled past protagonists I can see it now: Solas attacking a village Save: The Inquisition holds back because Solas might be killed Stop: The Inquisition attacks the village caring not for crossfire Either way, village ends up destroyed but technically they respected choices.
Wow, they really couldn't contain their excitement there. Their pride month tweets seemed way more spirited than this announcement. I'm getting vibes of somewhat naff mediocrity from it. Plus, it doesn't even make complete sense - to someone new to Dragon Age the words "Solas" or "Dread Wolf" won't mean anything nor would they be aware of the fact that they could meet Solas in the previous game.
Meh.

I wouldn't say DAO is that connected to the other games, in terms of plot. I think the other three are more connected, in some ways. While DAO had Flemeth and Morrigan, and it's very likely (to me), that they already had decided who Flemeth truly was, they never really gave any indication of her true identity. The connection to the elves came in DA2.
The only thing that would truly connect DAO to DAD would be the Old Gods being very relevant to Solas/the elves. And while Solas has some strong opinions on the Old Gods and the Blight, and I have little doubt that has knowledge on them, there's no confirmation yet. Even if I do think there's a connection between the Old Gods and the Evanuris, as of now it's just speculation.

I’d also say DA2 doesn’t really connect to this plot. Yes it stirs the fire of the Mage-Templar War, but overall everything that happened in it had no real relevance in the plot of DAI and DAD. Really only these last two are connected to the point they’re parts of the same story.

I think that's best for you, given how important this is to you, although overall it's also good to not expect anything specific from the game, beyond Solas having a big role in it.
I'd hope they'll strive to do better then the past, but I guess we'll have to wait and see.

DAI is definitely more connected to DAD, but I do think DA2 still has a connection with DAI, much more then DAO. Corypheus is still an antagonist first introduced in that game's dlc, and red lyrium/red templars is an expanded plot from the idol.

Hopefully, though I doubt it after Revan and Hawke. Please don't ruin the Inquisitor too, Bioware.

Eh, I suppose. But having those things I don't really see as connecting them as a story. I mean the Red Lyrium in DAI isn't even from the idol.

I understand that. I just meant that there's bigger connection between DA2 and DAI/DAD then DAO's. Expecially if the idol would return to have a role in the story.
Am I the only one slightly bothered by the visual design of the logo? I think the font is the same but "Dragon Age" is so big and bold while "Dreadwolf" is so small and skinny that they look like completely different types of font and it's off-putting. Is it just me?

To be honest the anagram name would have worked well. Dragon Age: Fadewalker
I don't think that's an anagram of Dreadwolf. What was suggested earlier was Fade world.
I'd have liked Fadewalker as a name, but I guess that even if we'll be able to walk in the Fade in some ways, they wouldn't spell it out in the title. Although, it could've indicated Solas.

I think it's more likely that we'll be able to go to the Fade, considerably more then in the past, and not that the Veil will be torn completely right away. The blogpost itself hints at Solas wanting to destroy our world, so I don't think it's something that would happen soon-ish in the game.
And fighting across Tevinter/the region to fix or stop the Veil to be torn apart would be same of Inquisition...without the ability to fix it.

Very happy to see a title announcement!
I like Dragon Age: Dreadwolf better than Dragon age: The Dread Wolf Rises. Which was to wordy.
I'm not gonna worry about the colour purple and things like the font until I see them in more marketing to confirm they weren't just a one time choice.
I'm excited to hear more later this year! Hopefully a trailer.
I wonder if this means DAD is coming out late next year?
Also lol dad.

I think the name would've worked for me better if revealed a long time ago, but maybe they hadn't finalized it until recently. Could be a thing where it was called Dread Wolf Rises so long they just couldn't detach from part of that name. Otherwise it is just weird to hold on to that name for so long just to reveal something that obvious.
The purple is interesting after the gold and black prominence in 2020 teaser. Not sure what to take from that. It comes across looking a bit like a kids mobile game but part of that is the new logo. It looked better in gold on black background IMO.
