Bioware revealed the title of the much anticipated next chapter in the Dragon Age saga this week: Dragon Age: Dreadwolf.
For fans of the franchise, you know this is a reference to one of the protagonists in the series: Solas.
“Solas, the Dread Wolf. Some say he might be an ancient elven god, but some say not. Others say a betrayer of his people…or a savior who now seeks to rescue them at the cost of your world. His motives are inscrutable and his methods sometimes questionable, earning him a reputation as something of a trickster deity—a player of dark and dangerous games,” the blogpost on the Bioware website reads.
“Whether you’re new to Dragon Age stories or you’ve experienced them all, using Solas’s namesake no doubt suggests a spectrum of endless possibilities on where things may go. But at the core of this, like every past game, is you. If you’re new to Dragon Age, you have no need to worry about not having met our antagonist just yet. He’ll properly introduce himself when the time is right, but we did hint at his return when we announced #TheDreadWolfRises back in 2018.”
The company said that Dragon Age: Dreadwolf will not release in 2022, but that fans will get more information about the game later this year.
“Rest assured, Solas is placing his pieces on the board as we speak,” the Dragon Age team wrote.
May the Dread Wolf take you.
