Dragon Age III
Developer(s)	BioWare

Dragon Age III, currently in development by BioWare,^[1] is an upcoming sequel to Dragon Age: Origins and Dragon Age II^[1][2] It was first (informally) announced on Twitter,^[2] the evening of May 19, 2011, by BioWare's Creative Lead Alistair McNally.^[2]

Development

BioWare is planning on fusing elements of both earlier games in the series, Dragon Age: Origins and Dragon Age II, into the creation of Dragon Age III.^[1]

Combat is also expected to differ somewhat from its predecessors and focus more on a player's ability to prepare, position and form a cohesive team with his or her party members,^[3] requiring fewer repetitive finger strikes but better thinking.^[3]

Plot

Dragon Age III will be set in Thedas, the fantasy world in which the two previous games are set. The game will cover more geographic territory than its predecessors, with one map being described as four to five times the size of Ferelden, the setting of the first game in the series.^[3]

The plot will involve a war between mages and templars, the foundations of which form the main plot of Dragon Age II.^[3]

As in Dragon Age I and II, Dragon Age III is planned to showcase a new protagonist hero.^[3]
