Dragon Age Dreadwolf Combat Inspired by ‘God of War’

The next installment of Bioware’s critically acclaimed RPG Dragon Age is changing up its combat system. Leaked gameplay and details surfaced on Reddit revealing hack and slash style combat, complete with parrying, countering and some fast-paced dodging. The playtester responsible for the gameplay gave a lot of other useful information, but first, have a look at what folks have been talking about:

Keep in mind this is coming from what’s likely an early build of the game, so it might look a little ugly. But if you’ve played previous Dragon Age titles, you’ll notice that this is a deviation from the sword and shield combat we’ve previously seen in the franchise. And if you take a gander at some of the more complete looking still images, it appears this may be Bioware’s most graphically ambitious game yet.

Additional tidbits we learned of include everything from the game having improved animations to them reimplementing a jump button just like in Inquisition. It doesn’t look like we’ll be seeing this game in 2023, but if things keep moving in the direction they are, it seems this game will be well worth the wait.
