EA Hesitant towards Dragon Age Remaster or Legendary Edition due to Engine Differences and Budget Constraints
According to Mark Darrah, former executive producer for the Dragon Age series, EA is not enthusiastic about remasters. In an interview with YouTuber MrMattyPlays, as reported by PCGamesN, Darrah revealed that BioWare had considered developing a Dragon Age Legendary Edition, similar to Mass Effect’s. Darrah stated that EA “has been weirdly against remasters for some time now,” adding, “It’s odd for a public company to turn down extra cash, but they seem to be against it.” Beyond EA’s general stance, a Dragon Age Legendary Edition presented unique challenges compared to Mass Effect’s. Darrah noted that the Dragon Age games were built using different engines, making a comprehensive remaster more complex. Internally, BioWare made efforts to assemble a team for Dragon Age remasters, even recruiting mod creators for paid work. These discussions also extended to the possibility of a full remake of Dragon Age: Origins. Ultimately, Darrah indicated that EA was unwilling to invest further in BioWare for a Dragon Age Legendary Edition, explaining that even if desired, the project would not have been feasible within the current budget.
