Dragon Age: Dreadwolf is skipping The Game Awards, and won't be revealed until summer 2024. This comes after fans have already waited years for a proper trailer, only to now get another teaser that tells us that we'll have to wait months longer.

In the teaser, which states that the "full reveal" will come summer 2024, we hear from various factions dotted around Thedas. From the Crows to the Grey Wardens, it seems that almost every group will be involved in the story of Dragon Age: Dreadwolf.

In a statement put out after the trailer dropped, BioWare confirmed to us that these locations will appear in the game itself.

"Today, BioWare is celebrating Dragon Age and the beloved franchise’s incredible community with a glimpse at some of the locations players will venture in Dragon Age: Dreadwolf," reads the statement.

"The new in-game video showcases the desolate yet beautiful badlands of the Anderfels, the twisting canals and gleaming towers of Antiva, and the turquoise seas of Rivain which are just some of the locales waiting for players."

Want to feel old? Good. Dragon Age: Inquisition launched in November 2024. So it's very possible that Dreadwolf will launch almost exactly ten years after the last game.

So, we won't just be stuck in Tevinter for the whole game, even though that's where Solas has run off to after the events of Dragon Age: Inquisition. Like Inquisition, it instead seems that we'll travel across multiple regions. With Rivain, Ativa, and the Anderfels being just some of the areas we'll see, this will be the biggest largest game in the series yet. We'll have to wait and see if that's a good thing or not, since bigger doesn't always mean better.

Of course, being a teaser trailer, this only leaves us with more questions than answers. The biggest question being: who the hell is speaking at the end of the trailer? I mean, that definitely doesn't sound like Solas, and he was very much being set up as the big bad in this game. But the way that he promises us the "peace and comfort" of his "reign" is absolutely sinister, implying Solas won't be the only villain in the main story.

There's no word on who's behind this mysterious voice, but the other characters we hear likely represent the groups highlighted in the trailer. It could be that they will be companions, since previous promotional material hinted that one of our followers will be a Warden. Having another Crow on our team would also be nice, since we haven't had one since Zevran in Dragon Age: Origins.

For more concrete answers, we'll just have to wait until next summer. We're unlikely to get a release date until then too, but it's safe to say we're not getting the game anytime soon. It might still make it in as a winter 2024 release, as previous reports have said it could launch next year. But these same reports said it would be with us in the summer, and it's hard to imagine such a huge game getting shadowdropped.
