Bioware has officially revealed the title of its upcoming Dragon Age sequel, now called Dragon Age: Dreadwolf.
In a blog post, the studio explains the history behind the name, which should be familiar to anyone who played Dragon Age: Inquisition:
Solas, the Dread Wolf. Some say he might be an ancient elven god, but some say not. Others say a betrayer of his people…or a savior who now seeks to rescue them at the cost of your world. His motives are inscrutable and his methods sometimes questionable, earning him a reputation as something of a trickster deity—a player of dark and dangerous games.
Whether you’re new to Dragon Age™ stories or you’ve experienced them all, using Solas’s namesake no doubt suggests a spectrum of endless possibilities on where things may go. But at the core of this, like every past game, is you. If you’re new to Dragon Age, you have no need to worry about not having met our antagonist just yet. He’ll properly introduce himself when the time is right, but we did hint at his return when we announced #TheDreadWolfRises back in 2018.
The Dread Wolf rises! We’re excited to reveal the official title for the next chapter in your story – Dragon Age: #Dreadwolf! https://t.co/bNLy9ALN8g pic.twitter.com/XrNhBj3Ymz
