Dragon Age: The Veilguardcreative director John Epler “would love to do something” to wrap up what the RPG’s Netflix spin-off began, but don’t expect anything on that anytime soon.
That comes fromYouTuber Kala Elizabeth, who asked Epler if we’re getting any resolution to Dragon Age: Absolution and was essentially told not right now.
“I can’t get into too many details because it’s a Netflix thing, which makes the rights complicated,” hesays. “I will say I would love to do something to wrap that up, but not in the immediate future.”
While Dragon Age has an animated show and film, not everyone thinks the RPG would take well to something more live-action. As Fallout’s effort won rave reviews, Dragon Age co-creator David Gaider saidsomething similar for the RPG or Mass Effect would be a “terrible idea.“It didn’t sound like he was too keen on previous efforts, either.
“I’ve never seen them, nor am I interested to,” hesaid, beforeadding, “As I recall, none of the folks who did the animated shows (while I worked at Bio, at any rate) were particularly interested in authenticity. My (baseless) assumption was always that the IP had been foisted on the animation team out of necessity.”
Regardless, the next serving of Dragon Age is nearly here, with The Veilguard set to launch on October 31.
