[Jeff Grubb] Dragon Age: Dreadwolf probably won't be at the Xbox Conference, but "Dragon Age will be there." (up: not a remake, see marks)
- Thread starter IDontBeatGames
- Start date
- Rumor Microsoft
I always thought the "Dreadwolf" title was not great. Confusing to folks who don't know the lore. I expect it's either going to be Dragon Age 4 or just Dragon Age.
You do realize that third party games appear on these shows all the time, usually as a result of who has the co-marketing deal?
You do know there will be plenty of third party stuff, right? AssCreed and SW Outlaws will be there too.
this would be so based, nothing I love more than confusing title shenanigans
This is funnier considering Darrah had a video recently about naming your game and acronyms hah.
LOL, I saw that. Haven't tuned in yet, but damn, yeah.
I just hope they don't decide the potential new name is "Dragon Age"
I mean if you want to be technical, there's never actually been a game just titled "Dragon Age" before.
A name change?! Interesting. Been playing inquisition. I'm ready
I hate tricking newcomers into thinking something is a reboot when it absolutely is not in general.
I'm doubtful numbering will return as like "Dragon Age 4: Something."
Like yeah it's the 4th game but given it's been 10 years since the 3rd game kind of weird to remind people of that fact and turn them off even more if they haven't played any of the others. So I'm guessing it will be "Dragon Age: Something Else." Highly doubt they'll just go with a straight up "Dragon Age" as the title.

Likely marketing. If it's just "dragon age" then new players will think it's something new, or at the very least something they can jump into without having to play decade+ year old games
It's similar to how EA pushed them into slapping the 2 on Dragon Age… 2. Probably sold them more copies but it set the wrong expectations for what that game ended up being
There's no better time to begin Shepard's award-winning journey than Mass Effect 3, this March
Dreadwolf doesn't really signify it being the fourth game in a series though.
Without any knowledge of the story it just sounds like a cool subtitle.
Tbh I can see them testing the title and seeing consumers think it's some spin off title, so they chose to change it, or even just go with a reboot title "Dragon Age"
Well apparently there is no such deal because it won't be there... I know there are often deals like that but I just don't see the logic in why it should show up at Xbox. It was announced before on The Game Awards and shown at Gamescom. There is no connection with Xbox whatsoever. If we see it again it will be at a bigger event like Summer Game Fest, next Gamescom Opening Night or The Game Awards.
Dragon Age Dreadwolf won't be at the conference, because , based on what Jason Scheier said on Grubb's tweet, the game title could have changed.
It'd also fit with what Grubb said before about the game being both at 0% and 100% Sunday...the fourth Dragon Age will be shown, but it's not Dreadwolf.
intuitively I agree with you, but it's easy to imagine how they might have reached the conclusion that dropping the subtitle altogether would allow them to reach more people. I don't love the decision (assuming that's what's actually happening), but it's the only explanation I can think of
"We just decided that the abbreviation 'DAD' is bad for SEO."
(and it is, and it would be, so it's probably good if they're changing it)
