Fell beasts wreak havoc in this Dragon Age: Inquisition Gamescom 2014 trailer

By Adam Rosenberg August 13, 2014

The latest trailer for BioWare’s Dragon Age: Inquisition goes to some dark places. Large, fearsome creatures and dire circumstances. The world of Thedas that Inquisition reintroduces is a land in turmoil. War has gripped the region, and the strained tensions between various factions have spilled over into outright warfare. The root of all this strife appears to be a tear in the very fabric of space itself, and you get a taste of that in this trailer.

Dragon Age: Inquisition reimagines Thedas, with BioWare going bigger on exploration than it ever has before. The game spills out across multiple open world regions, with enough overall square footage to dwarf both of the two games that preceded it. You can see the newly revealed Bog region in a bunch of screenshots up top. It’s looking good for the upcoming November 18, 2014 release on PC and PlayStation/Xbox consoles.

Anthem is getting huge changes to save the game from irrelevancy

Anthem update version 1.1.0 patch notes Sunken Cell weapon loadout contract mission fort tarsis

To say BioWare's Anthem has been disappointing would be an insult to every other disappointing game we've played in 2019. Anthem was a colossal failure for the studio, with mediocre reviews that questioned whether the studio could ever achieve its former glory. But BioWare is willing to try: The studio reportedly plans drastic changes to the game in an effort to save it from becoming irrelevant.

According to Kotaku, several of Anthem's biggest elements are going to be completely overhauled, either in one large update or in a series of smaller updates. These include the structure of missions, as well as the world itself and the loot. The game has been criticized for the relatively arbitrary loot scoring system, with weapons not varying enough in power compared to those found earlier in the game.
