Jason Schreier @jasonschreier I think we are in a strange new world where everyone's still trying to figure that out. Final Fantasy XV seems like the closest example of a live RPG
It'd be hilarious if, after threads and months of speculation, it turned out that DA team simply scrounged up resources to implement New Game+

Casey Hudson @caseydhudson Reading lots of feedback regarding Dragon Age, and I think you’ll be relieved to see what the team is working on. Story & character focused.
Too early to talk details, but when we talk about “live” it just means designing a game for continued storytelling after the main story.

Thank you for asking that. As usual, you get to the heart of the matter pdq. 💋
Not a problem! I hate that whole obscure PR speak bullshit, so I figured I'd just ask directly lol.
Is it wrong of me to feel grateful for what you did and at the same time kinda disliking you for the whole "years away"? I mean, I shouldn't kill the messenger, but...

Hmm, how can I overanalyze this? [insert thinking emoji]
EDIT:
I got it! If you Google Simpson freak out gif you get what Darrah used, I take this as irrefutable soft evidence that DA4 is indeed an unsalvageable MMO dumpster fire.

I've changed my prediction from a 2019 release (til 2020 expansions), to 2020 release (til 2021-2022 updates/expansions). And Mass Effect to only happen in whatever we call 'next gen', but either the first or second major Bioware release for then (early to mid 2020s).

They've hardly done anything with SWTOR for the past year, and we've yet to hear about future plans...if there are any. The only thing to get regular updates is the cartel market (cash shop). Pretty sure most of that team was already moved to Anthem also.

Not sure what this means for the future.
They have released some content last year - like two flashpoints, a daily area, a warzone, 4 Ops bosses, companion content etc. but yeah they've kept their card pretty close to their chest. they are apparently bringing out a roadmap mid - February so that might reveal more what's happening. It's kinda weird since their last two expansions were their most sucessful by a longshot.

I can't, I like your content too much, curse you!
But... next time, try to bring more cheerful news please!

That was the whole point of Montreal's existence. So, these three could- in theory still produce games. It's just going to take much longer now...😑

With Mass Effect gone, I think Star Wars would be next. That MMO has been winding down a bit hasn’t it?

You're more optimistic than me.
Christ, I remember when Inquisition first came out, and someone told me "Well, there's usually only three years between games, so you should get your resolution by 2017 or so," and I thought that was an unbearably long time to wait.
What youthful naivete. What beautiful halcyon days.

A while back there were rumors of something new brewing for SW in BW Austin, but whether that's still the case I don't know...

Eh, Solas can wait to destroy the world and everything he's patient. He's only waited an eternity to start having his plans come together. He can wait a little more.😉

The ancient elves have the right idea.. Maybe we should just wait out DA4's release in uthenera

They are looking for a 'live service executive producer for Anthem' in Austin. I think Anthem will be taken care of by Austin soon after its release, and then Mark Darrah can fully work on DA. And I wonder what Mac Walters is doing right now.

January patch: -raid boss, story/veteran mode -storyline with returning characters/companions
Later news: -more companions, sooner than later -roadmap in Feb
So far, to me, this spells out that SWTOR, while still in development/support and can't be called dead this year, it might not have plans for an expansion-sized update and is at least trying to wrap up return of companions before either moving on into what will be something bigger (or at least a new stage of the game) or closing down. Theoretically they don't 'need' a major story/content expansion this year, but there should at least be a great feature list to keep people coming. Will that happen? I dunno. They've been mostly releasing the relatively smaller stuff over last year (real stuff, but more of the 'slow the subscriber decrease' sort rather than 'come rejoin!' sort).
Its nice that there is some Zakkul-story related operation, but it should have come all or mostly at once and in 2015 (instead of just the consolidation of all other operations), with 1+ more in 2016. This appears to be a studio that either really lacks the skill to satisfy even basic demands of a playerbase, or lacks the resources by higher ups to do more than move from feature set to feature set and never really satisfying anyone. But SWTOR isn't dead. Perhaps 'dying', we'll see, but not dead.
