Concrete details on Dragon Age: Dreadwolf are scarce, but it has officially passed its Alpha milestone. BioWare is hard at work getting it prepared for release, whenever that comes around, but between the Netflix series and the new Dragon Age: The Missing comics, there’s plenty of content to consume before then.

Dragon Age: The Missing is an upcoming four-issue miniseries from Dark Horse Comics that will release in January. BioWare confirmed that it is a prequel story to Dragon Age: Dreadwolf and will focus on Varric and Dragon Age: Inquisition’s scout Lace Harding, but that’s it so far. As to what exactly is missing, how long after Dragon Age: Inquisition it takes place, and why Varric and Harding are teaming up are all left to the imagination for now.
Because this is a prequel comic releasing in 2023, many are hoping for a new Dragon Age: Dreadwolf trailer confirming the release window soon. It should be noted that a follow-up trailer for that Solas cinematic is not impossible at The Game Awards. BioWare has appeared there many times, bringing Dragon Age with it in 2018 and 2020. If it skips every other year, then it would make sense for it to be there on December 8. However, that doesn’t necessarily mean fans will get release date information.
BioWare has been very open about its development of Dragon Age: Dreadwolf, revealing it hit alpha stage a couple of months ago, and if it stuck to cadences it followed with Dragon Age: Inquisition, this makes its rumored late 2023/early 2024 release sound plausible. However, many would agree it’s more important that BioWare make a game it and the community can be proud of instead of sticking to some arbitrary development timeline. A release window isn’t impossible at this point, but it may be better if BioWare held its horses and saw how the race toward the development finish line looked in a couple of months. Still, seeing anything would be nice.
Dragon Age: Dreadwolf is in development.
