The brief
A former producer of the Dragon Age series has indicated that he does not expect the franchise to return. This assessment is based on the internal greenlighting process at Electronic Arts (EA), which the developer suggests makes it unlikely for a new game to get off the ground.
Coverage from Video Games Chronicle, Tech4Gamers, and The FPS Review emphasizes the difficulty of the pitching process, with reports stating that those who pitch ideas are often "ripped to shreds." Other outlets, including games.gg and Push Square, describe the news as grim for the future of the series. Future developments depend on whether EA alters its internal pitching and approval protocols or announces a new entry in the series.
