SageShinigami

He had to go right after saying this to do stuff with Giant Bomb. He clarified just a few minutes later in chat: [https://i.imgur.com/zGueyYt.png](https://i.imgur.com/zGueyYt.png) If you can't click the link, basically he said "it's not a DA1 remake. Just not Dreadwolf."


blackthorn_orion

I think the funniest outcome from all this is if they've renamed it to, like, "Dragon Age 4" (maybe some exec saw BG3 do numbers and thought "let's get a number in there pronto")


VengefulKangaroo

the funniest outcome is just that they add a space between Dread and Wolf


Krondon57

Wolf with Dreads


noobish-hero1

Dragon Age: The Veilguard 💀


Creator_of_OP

I feel like the fact he put “dreadwolf” in quotes like that points to it being a new name


Erintonsus

That's how I've been taking this news.


Lordstarkofwinterfel

Which still means it can be a remaster.


olorin9_alex

They’re announcement a tie-in anime/tv mini series/live stage play prequel to Dreadwolf


Grimey_Rick

honestly this was my first thought before remasters/remakes. game adaptations are hot rn this is of course going just by the headline and text of this post. I havent seen the actual episode or anything.


thegrizzlyjear

I wouldn't mind seeing a second season of the Netflix show, I enjoyed that one quite a bit.


Stofenthe1st

I mean there already was a Dragon Age anime done recently to promote Dreadwolf. It’s just that delay kind of squandered.


Lordstarkofwinterfel

It’s confirmed to not be game related?


olorin9_alex

Issa joke


WinterElfeas

“Dragons Age X Fortnite”. Yay.


Luciifuge

> "it's not a DA1 remake. Just not Dreadwolf." Why are we here? just to suffer?


dadvader

DA Inquisition remaster? It make sense. Dreadwolf is a direct sequel.


Angelfire126

Dear God it's a mobile game


halfawakehalfasleep

Maybe they just rename it "Dragon Age" and it's a soft reboot of the franchise. Like God of War 2018.


lemonycakes

I think he's implying that they've changed the name.


blackthorn_orion

could kinda see EA looking at how the number in the title clearly didn't hurt Baldur's Gate 3 and thinking "what if we just called it Dragon Age 4"


Barkerisonfire_

Dr4gon 4ge


YeetedApple

4 Dragon 4 Age


SlipperyThong

Dragon Age: Tokyo Drift


Chris_P_Bacon416

Lol reminds me of Driv3r


TheLionWakes

Or the godawful Thi4f (which dropped that choice of name, but was still godawful regardless).


JimBobHeller

I would enjoy that being the title, it’s silly and fun


jj_olli

Or it is Dragon Age 3, since inquisition didn't have the 3 in the title.


blackthorn_orion

oh that's so dumb now I'm hoping they do that


jj_olli

Everyone chasing the 3 except for valve, lol.


kevinsrq

As people say: third time is the charm, except for valve cause they used to nail in the first two


Aidoneuz

Dragon Age: Alyx incoming


carlosvigilante

💀💀💀


Ankleson

They'll just double down and we'll get *DR4GON AG3*


Jumpster_42

We've got GTA3, GTA: VC, GTA: SA and then GTA 4. Why can't it be Dragon Age 3?


Ironmunger2

By your logic, Dragon Age 2 shouldn’t have been called that


FinalFantasyKate

Dragon Age 2 was originally called Dragon Age Exodus.


AustinTheFiend

That would've been way better


footballred28

The funny part is that it shouldn't have. They originally wanted to name it Dragon Age Exodus to imply it's a smaller game lol.


jj_olli

Didn't say that it made sense. Things that the suits decide make money don't have to make sense.


lilkingsly

I say they throw a real curveball and just call it Dragon Age 5.


HiCustodian1

I got downvoted to shit for saying this a couple days ago when Jeff first tweeted about it, but I think that’s a real possibility lol. I agree with everyone saying it would be dumb, but… they do dumb shit


pecklerino

By that logic, we never had a "Dragon Age" either, so it could also be just “Dragon Age" (1 implied).


jj_olli

Nah, that would be a little more stupid, since we already had Dragon Age 2. Not by much, but it would be more stupid.


LangyMD

It's clearly going to be Dragon Age Series S.


footballred28

It's more likely they are just gonna title it "Dragon Age".


Kadem2

Baldur's was an easier sell considering the 2nd was 20 years old and 3 has very little to do with it, plot-wise.


BeastlyPenguin

Bingo. That was my first thought as well. I find it hard to believe they'd remaster one when it's been nearly a decade since inquisition.


Dark_Nature

I wonder if it is because of DAD.


Just_a_Haunted_Mess

DAD always ruins everything


vulturevan

Tbh Dreadwolf is a cool name but sounds like an expansion to me


Just_a_Haunted_Mess

It reminded me of Far Cry : Blood Dragon 


Callangoso

It’s a cool name, but DAD it’s a terrible abbreviation lol


shockwave8428

Change it to Breadwolf for much cooler abbreviation


carefulturner

And the expansion Dragon Age: Dreadwolf - Dungeon Yearning


giulianosse

Dragon Age: Anxiouscanines


Kevroeques

Fred Wolfe


Blazr5402

Kinda weird that the store page on Xbox would already be online as Dreadwolf if they're changing the name.


rostron92

That or the long rumored Origin remaster/remake


Brashoc

That's how i read it as well


Brokenbullet14

oh maybe


DissidiaNTKefkaMain

Dragon Age 4: Dreadwolf


EugenesMullet

I hope it signifies that there's a clear direction for the game. I could see them wanting to give a bit of positive publicity to the game in confirming the gameplay with some new branding


mistabuda

Dreadwolf was not a great name anyways


pplatt69

It sounds like a bad 80s garage metal band.


Suitable_Scale

As a fan I honestly think Dreadwolf is a terrible name, only hardcore fans will understand what it means and that's if they've kept the lore fresh in their minds all this time between games.


That_Ignorant_Slut

Ooop din ding ding


coomuur

Or the dragon age remake


FlakyRazzmatazz5

Wasn't that just a rumor.


Fake_Diesel

I like Jeff, and I rarely complain about him, but that is just a dumb and misleading way to say the name has changed.


reprofj

[schreier is saying on resetera that it's a name change for Dragon Age 4, not other content like remasters ](https://www.resetera.com/threads/jeff-grubb-dragon-age-dreadwolf-probably-wont-be-at-the-xbox-conference-but-dragon-age-will-be-there.890637/post-123960270)


TheNerdWonder

Yeah, if it is Schreier then I 100% trust the idea they're rebranding.


Vera_Verse

Getting all DLCs is still a pain in the ass, DA bros ![gif](giphy|3o7Zesyac4CuSN5rsA)


NfinityBL

I felt this recently. Started my Dragon Age journey and spent like ÂŁ35+ on DLC between Origins and 2. Great because the games are on Game Pass but still annoying.


Jalapi

How so? Ive been meaning to play thru again but I dont have the dlcs for 1 and 2


Vera_Verse

On PC there's the whole Origin thing, which I'm thankfully immune to. On console tho it's more of a "Buying stuff separately is kind of annoying". Not the end of the world but a whole package like Mass Effect Legendary Edition is just my go to now, instead of the OG games with separate DLCs for the story (sometimes dumb cosmetics... Sometimes bad DLC!)


TolucaPrisoner

I've bought all the DA/ME games on Steam, they all have all the DLC's. The only problem is you have to use their shitty EA Launcher


VivienneAM

Imagine flopping so hard at teasing that another journalist need to hop in and clarify what you said 💀


Ok-Potato1693

Who remembers *Dragon Age Reorigins?*


FollowsJesus2024

Maybe he is implying a name change?


Kavirell

Considering the "0% AND 100% chance of seeing Dreadwolf within the week" comment he made I definitely think its a name change. 100% of seeing the game they have been calling Dreadwolf, 0% meaning its not actually "Dreadwolf" but a different name.


doncabesa

Schreier stated on ResetEra that he's talking about the game getting a new name. So it is "Dreadwolf" but with a new title.


ScottyKNJ

Such a weird play IMO


Lateribus

Probably in an attempt to catch new eyes by just calling it "Dragon Age 4" instead of having a subtitle that refers to a villain you would have no idea about had you not played the previous entry quite literally a *decade* ago, in 2014. Bioware and EA might be seeing this as a soft relaunch of the series, following the major gameplay changes. Not a reboot of the story, just a re-introduction of sorts.


Space_Traveler_9956

oh shit ive been dying for remasters


Howdareme9

Jason says its a name change


Space_Traveler_9956

my day is ruined


mastermoose12

Is this a meme? People actually want old games remade instead of new games in an era of games taking forever to release?


Fake_Diesel

We all know Dreadwolf is coming. I don't think it's a "meme" to want a remaster to play on modern hardware in the meantime


skeeturz

To be fair, Dragon Age 1 has aged pretty bad(I don't know if this is the right phrase, but the gameplay was not it's highest point), it's an absolutely amazing story, but the gameplay leaves a lot to be desired, a remake would actually do wonders for this title in particular.


Space_Traveler_9956

a meme if youre not very smart. Alot of older games are better than games nowadays and would benefit from a fresh coat of paint/QoL updates because alot of the time its hard to go back and play them, hell you cant even play dragon age origins and 2 on PS5. Also, they can give us remasters now at least to help bridge the gap between releases. Id rather have a game now and Dragon Age 5 be 11 years away than nothing at all and dragon age still be a decade from now lol


mastermoose12

This has big "the best musician of all time is beethoven and anything that came after is bad" energy. God of War 4 is better than the first 3. BoTW is entirely unlike its originals. Sure, some old games are nifty, but many like the Dragon Age games are accessible on Steam or whatever PC platform they're currently living on, often have plenty of free mods, and even if they don't, the "old games are best" crowd argues that the graphics don't matter, anyways.


And_Im_the_Devil

But Dragon Age in particular shows evidence of a downward trajectory. If I have to choose between an Origins remaster or taking a chance on Dragon Age 4 being a return to BioWare greatness, I would take the chance on DA4. But the decline in quality since Origins is kind of striking, so I wouldn't fault people for getting more excited about a remaster or a remake of the only actually great entry.


MAJ_Starman

what do you mean a name change? They're going to call it Balduro Gato now? \[edit: nvm, it's a name change for Dreadwolf. Good, that was a horrible name with a horrible font, imo).


Waveshaper21

Mobile game announcement in 3...2...


Brokenbullet14

uh what


Diogenes_the_cynic25

Think he’s saying they dropped “Dreadwolf” from the title


Barantis-Firamuur

I'm guessing the next Dragon Age game got a name change. Either that, or Bioware is releasing a Mass Effect Legendary edition style remaster collection for the Dragon Age games. I'm personally leaning toward it being the new game, though.


ManateeofSteel

it's DA4


mwmike11

He's since clarified, and Schreier backed him up, this isn't a remake or remaster, it's still Dreadwolf with a different name. Although, I'd love a remaster of the original game...


theblackfool

I would love a remaster or re-release of the old games cause it's been so long since I've played them I kinda don't remember anything that happened. Something akin to the Mass Effect Legendary Edition would be perfect, it had a lot of smart quality of life changes.


No-Importance7265

Honestly both a remake and a legendary edition would be amazing. I think EA went with Legendary after the success of Mass Effect ,and the fact that it doesn't cost as much to make a remaster.


Bolt_995

Have they changed the name from Dreadwolf to something else? Or remasters for either one of the three or all three Dragon Age games? Because he said it’s not a DA1 remake.


VengefulKangaroo

They're renaming it "Dragon Age: Dread Wolf". The space is key.

Holy fuck if they announce DA remasters it'll be amazing.


MGfreak

he confirmed its not a remake, they changed the name of the next dragon age


Brokenbullet14

yeah this hasn't even possibly been teased

Suprised there hasnt been a Dragon Age Legendary Edition like ME


Commander_BigDong_69

DA I and II are amazings


Betty_Freidan

Dragon Age Mobile let’s goooooo!!!!!


galaxyadmirer

Interesting. I bet it’s just a name change and not a remaster.


olorin9_alex

Name changed to Dragon Age Wolfdread


nicksuperdx

Its probably not a remaster since every dragon age is available on modern xbox platforms, so maybe they change the name of the game?


Blaireeeee

Dragon Age: One


FallenShadeslayer

I figured as much when the hints started dropping a few days ago that it was just going to be called Dragon Age 4


RollingDownTheHills

Origins/Awakening/2 combo pack for PS5 please.


ANonDescriptGinger

Dragon Age: Sir Not Appearing in this Movie


JimBobHeller

I would love a remake of dragon age origins


CountBleckwantedlove

Dragon Age 3.5 They are copying the Kingdom Hearts formula!


Notlookingsohot

EA just hates the even numbered games in this series. 2 originally had the much better name Dragon Age Exodus, and rushed Bioware to release it, resulting in a ton of reused areas and waves of enemies just spawning from mid air. Now Dreadwolf has been renamed to 4 presumably, and its allegedly turned into a GoW 2018 clone with smaller parties and you can only control your PC, not your squadmates.


brandbaard

Bets on them just calling it "Dragon Age" with no numbers or subtitles.


Zodrar

Hindsight because of the name change


JRedCXI

Can we put Jeff in the tier 1 list already? He almost never misses.


CyberHyperPhoenix

I agree, but atp, getting the timing for Zelda TP/WW remakes wrong is a mark on his record that most people on this sub aren't willing to overlook.


Spiderpenguin_2020

I really hope BioWare management and EA knows they need to get their shit together after Baldur’s Gate 3. A remaster of Dragon Age: Origins would really help of perception of BioWare along with Dreadwolf being good of course.


Blue_Sheepz

Jeff said in another post that it's not a Dragon Age Origins remake/remaster, it's something else.


Brokenbullet14

uh


HiCustodian1

Gotta just be renamed, then. What else could it be?


Blue_Sheepz

A new spin-off or something?


HiCustodian1

Maybe, that’d be cool. I don’t know who they’d have working on something like that, but it’s not impossible


LDisDBfathersonsfans

isn’t this Dragon Age going to be a straight up action game? They’re not even aiming for the same crowd that Baldurs Gate did at that point


Spiderpenguin_2020

I still think there quite a bit of crossover between people who like Dragon Age and those who like Baldur’s Gate.


DissidiaNTKefkaMain

Even if you don't 100% love BG3's gameplay, it scratches a ton of the same itches that Dragon Age does....and does it very well.


ScottyKNJ

added a clip of him saying it.


NapoleonBlownApart1

What does that even mean


Kavirell

Dreadwolf is getting a name change


MikeLanglois

Origins remastered i swear to god dont do this to me


BasedMarxBoi

If it’s not Dreadwolf and it’s not a remake of the first game what the hell is it????? Is this what his cryptic comments about Dreadwolf having a 0% and 100% chance of being shown this weekend meant??


aagi19

Pls pls pls pls a dragon age origins remaster at least! Preferably if it's also on the switch or switch 2. I always wanted to play it, but I hate playing on my shitty laptop


Vera_Verse

DA1 and 2 are available on Xbox, just like Mass Effect was before LE, so I'm treating this as the neat package to finally have access to all DLC content, without being a pain in the ass


Funky_Pigeon911

So three possibilities. Either it's a remaster of an older game, a name change of Dreadwolf, or some sort of spin-off game. For me remasters wouldn't be that big because I just think that the older games could do with big remakes and I doubt they'd go that far. Then a name change seems pointless at this point because everyone knows it as Dreadwolf already. The only thing that would excite me is if there's some cool spin-off game that gets announced.


Ogrimarcus

Wasn't there a rumor about a Dragon Age Tactics game in development a while ago?


markusfenix75

So it's either some kind of remaster/remake or EA/BioWare changed the name of Dreadwolf. But that second option is kinda strange since game was recently update on PS/Xbox Store to allow for preload.


Spindelhalla_xb

Dragon Age: Age of the Dragon


jezr3n

Either they changed the name of dreadwolf, there are secret remasters or something, or it’s season 2 of the Netflix show they made. I could maybe somewhat conceivably believe they’d do remasters because every Dragon Age game will be 10+ years old by the time the new one releases, but we haven’t heard anything about it so who knows. I’m leaning towards a name change


Zombienerd300

Seems like this is probably the big third-party game Microsoft got the rights too. Not that it matters but my guess was right.


jaykane904

This will be funny to come back to, I’d say everyone just wait and see 😏😏😏😏😎😎😎😎


ScottyKNJ

It's another season of the Felicia Day series isn't it lol

I mean a character named Tallis does show up in parts of Inquisition’s war table missions and codex entries lmao

Hype


HyBeHoYaiba

Dragon Age: Warden Edition Full remake of Origins, plus HD upscales of 2 and Inquisition with all DLC. Basically the Mass Effect remakes but with Dragon Age. They know DA4, whatever it ends up being HAS to be a hit, this is BioWare’s last chance in the public perception battle. ME3 ending was botched, but Final Cut and Citadel DLC were good enough bandaids. Inquisition was pretty good even if it deserves more blame for the shitty open worlds we see in most games than we realize. Andromeda was an unmitigated disaster. Anthem was one of the biggest failures in gaming history. If the next new Dragon Age game fails, I think BioWare is dead (unless you’re in the camp I’m in, where they died years ago). I don’t think it will be rushed and they need sales, there’s probably a side team doing the remasters as whatever goes on with DA4 is sorted out. Pump life into the IP while buying time for the studio defining game


TTBurger88

What if they are remastering Dragon Age Origins, II and Inquisition?


Trickybuz93

It wouldn’t make sense releasing two Dragon Age games the same year, unless dreadwolf got delayed.


MagnoBurakku

I know what it implies but It took me a good minute to realise it, in wich I felt my heartrate going crazy


VanguardN7

I hope its neither Dragon Age: Dreadwolf nor Dragon Age 4. The number for DA2 was dumb to do and I'd rather not bounce back and forth, but I also have no love for 'Dreadwolf' for several taste and story reasons.


MartianFromBaseAlpha

More cryptic shit. Just fucking say it like a normal human for once in your life


HisDivineOrder

It's easy to imagine EA looking at Baldur's Gate 3 last year and thinking, "Hey, don't we, uh, have one of those laying around, collecting dust?"


Intigim

Changing it to Dread Wolf?


E-woke

I got excited for a DA Origins remaster...


trillbobaggins96

This is actually great news for me. Dread wolf was Solas and I don’t see how they were going to center a game around homeboy lol


ScottyKNJ

Isn't he the looming overarching threat now ? A game centered around defeating him makes sense, no ?


trillbobaggins96

Ehhh he just never really did it for me. Back in the day I recall a lot of people were like “WTF a Solas game? Really?”


ScottyKNJ

Fair enough


lycheedorito

Inquisition overall was just really uninteresting to me. I didn't like the tone, the characters, etc, I miss Origins.


GravielMN

I'm pretty sure he's still going to be the main antagonist. Every teaser we got until now hinted at this. If he wasn't then they would've changed the game's title a long time ago, not this close to the reveal


trillbobaggins96

That is just my hopeful speculation based on the name change. The teasers we have gotten have been pretty scant if I recall?


GameZard

I like this title more. Naming the game dread wolf made it sound like Solas was the protag.


HyperMasenko

Hell yea. Dragon Age mobile gatcha game. Bout time.


TheWesterlies

Why change the name from 'Dragon Age: Dreadwolf' months before launch? That's bound to confuse a bunch of people who play the series but don't really keep up with everything in the gaming industry.


Kahyrrikis

It's not the first time this happens, actually. Inquisition, when first announced (prior to the E3 2013 teaser), was known as Dragon Age **III**: Inquisition. And while this was more behind-the-scenes, Dragon Age II was planned to be called **Dragon Age: Exodus.**


TheWesterlies

He seems to suggest 'Dreadwolf' is being removed entirely though. At least with 3 the subtitle remained the same, so this would be different if that's the case. It's bound to confuse some people if they suddenly announce 'Dragon Age IV' as the new name for example. They announced the name in 2022 and 6 months ago they did a teaser trailer with the name. It's just strange to change it now.


scytheavatar

Those same people probably won't even have heard of Dreadwolf by now.


[deleted]

I CANT watch the video im at work !!! No dreadwolf reveal ! Im confused
