Don’t hold your breath for remasters of the original Dragon Age<\/a> trilogy – they’re pretty much impossible, BioWare’s former Dragon Age boss has said. <\/p>\n

In an interview with FRVR<\/a>, ex-Dragon Age series producer Mark Darrah was asked about the chances of a remastered collection of the first three Dragon Age games, similar to the Mass Effect collection. He noted that while he had previously envisioned a “Champion’s Trilogy” that would attempt to unify all three games (since they’re quite different from each other), he doesn’t think it’s likely anymore. <\/p>\n

So unlike Mass Effect, which is Unreal\u2026 there are basically no companies that could help you.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dragon Age began life in 2009 with the much-loved Dragon Age: Origins<\/a>, and was quickly followed-up by Dragon Age 2<\/a> just two years later. The hugely successful Dragon Age: Inquisition<\/a> came out<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
