Dragon Age Remaster Unlikely, Creative Director Says

Dragon Age: The Veilguard is out and it’s been a well received game overall. It’s launch 10 years after the last mainline Dragon Age game has had people wondering if the original games could get the remaster treatment.

While Creative Director John Epler would like it to happen, he doesn’t see it likely. In an interview with Rolling Stone around the game’s launch, Epler was asked about seeing the first three games remastered in some way.

“I think I’m one of about maybe 20 people left at BioWare who’s actually used Eclipse,” Epler told the outlet. “It’s something that’s not going to be as easy as Mass Effect, but we do love the original games. Never say never, I guess that’s what it comes down to.”

While he does say “never say never”, the technology of the original games could prove a sticking point. The first two Dragon Age games from 2009 and 2011 were built with the custom Eclipse engine. The third game, Dragon Age: Inquisition ultimately moved to the Frostbite Engine, making it more likely for a remaster than the others.

Rolling Stone mentioned the Mass Effect games getting remastered. Those games were built on Unreal Engine, making it an easier task to bring forward with newer technology.

If it were to happen, it would almost be a certainty that the first two games would have to be built from scratch in Frostbite, or a different engine.

Do you think the original Dragon Age games get remastered? Let us know below, or in the official Insider Gaming Forums.
