Dragon Age: Origins – EA didn’t want to pay for a makeover (EA)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The failure of Dragon Age: The Veilguard has put EA<\/a> off from making any more entries in the series, including a remaster of the original.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s little point in us saying that Dragon Age: The Veilguard<\/a> is a really good action role-player, because its fate was sealed just weeks after release, when it failed to meet EA\u2019s expectations<\/a>, following a disastrous marketing campaign.<\/p>\n

Despite being the first new entry in the series for a decade, there was no buzz at all around the game, from the moment it was first unveiled<\/a> – with a trailer that many fans compared to Fortnite<\/a> in terms of its visuals and sense of humour.<\/p>\n

Needless to say, that\u2019s not how anyone imagined the game\u2019s long-awaited comeback, with its failure leading EA to think it had been right all along and that the game should\u2019ve been a live service title<\/a>. What they\u2019ve also apparently decided is that there\u2019s not going to be any remaster or remake of Dragon Age: Origins from 2009.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s often forgotten now, but BioWare were the creators of the first two Baldur\u2019s Gate games and Origins was, at the time, considered a spiritual sequel, and the closest thing there\u2019d be to a Baldur\u2019s Gate 3<\/a> until this generation.<\/p>\n

In 2021, BioWare produced remasters of the entire Mass Effect trilogy, despite the sci-fi series always having sold less than Dragon Age, and it seemed to do very well.<\/p>\n

The success of Mass Effect Legendary Edition<\/a> led many, including developers at BioWare, to imagine something similar could happen with Dragon Age, despite no one liking Dragon Age 2.<\/p>\n
