Dragon Age trilogy remaster "wouldn't be easy", because hardly anyone at BioWare knows how its old engine works


Following a seemingly solid launch for Dragon Age: The Veilguard, there's probably a fair few series newcomers consider…

But anyone hoping for a Mass Effect: Legendary Edition style remaster shouldn't hold their breath; Dragon Age: The Veilguard creative director John Epler says the project would be challenging because hardly anyone left at BioWare knows how the studio's old engine works. Mass Effect: Legendary Edition was well-received when it launched back in 2021, introducing the likes of improved performance and visuals, enhanced models, new lighting, gameplay tweaks, and more. The publisher hasn't yet trumpeted any official figures, but The Veilguard did manage an all-time peak of 89,418 concurrent players on Steam, setting a new record for a single-player EA game.
