Summary
David Gaider said he thinks Dragon Age is unlikely to get another installment under EA after 2024's The Veilguard missed sales expectations.
Gaider told PC Gamer the series had long survived because earlier games repeatedly sold better than BioWare and EA expected, but Veilguard's weak performance may have ended that reprieve.
Gaider, who left BioWare in 2016, said he would still return if given the franchise, taking it back to Dragon Age's roots in a "dark and dangerous" direction that would "make people upset."
BioWare is now focused on Mass Effect 5 after moving many staff elsewhere in EA last year, leaving Dragon Age's future even murkier as the publisher favors safer bets.
