Dragon Age: Inquisition – Release Date Slips Back (But It’s Not Too Bad)
Originally planned for an October 7th release, Dragon Age: Inquisition has now been put back to November 18th for North America and the 21st for Europe. The delay however has a number of benefits, such as the delay being only just over a month to receive some extra polish as a result and being a better game for it. Not to mention that October is already a very packed release month in gaming, so this delay will give our bank accounts some much needed breathing space.
The news of the release date being pushed back was revealed on DragonAge.com when executive producer Mark Darrah wrote:
Since we began working on Dragon Age: Inquisition almost four years ago, our goal was to create the best Dragon Age experience ever. It was that goal that motivated many of our decisions: moving to Frostbite, bringing race choice and customization back, improving tactical camera, building a team of characters whose relationships evolve based on your actions, and most importantly, crafting an epic, nation-spanning story that both draws upon past games and takes you to many new places in the realm of Thedas.
I’m privileged to be a part of a team that has been working very hard to surpass every measure they’ve set for themselves. That has meant completing huge amounts of game content, fixing bugs both big and small, and improving the overall experience. This last bit of time is about polishing the experience we want you to see. Ensuring that our open spaces are as engaging as possible. Strengthening the emotional impact of the Hero’s choices. And ensuring the experience you get is the best it can be in the platform you choose to play on.
Thank you again for your patience and support!
Mark
