In celebration of Dragon Age Day 2022, BioWare released an in-game cinematic of Dragon Age: Dreadwolf that sets the stage for the adventures to come.

The cinematics are all about Solas, a playable character in Dragon Age: Inquisition who is clearly one of the main strengths of the upcoming RPG.

Varric, another playable character who first appeared in Dragon Age 2, narrates the video and tells the story of Solas, who was once known as Fen’Harel, the Dread Wolf.

“I knew him as Solas, a brooding mage obsessed with dreams, but long ago he had a different name – Fen’Harel, the Dread Wolf,” narrates Varric. “Ancient Elven God of Lies or heroic rebel against tyranny, depending on which story you believe in. In his final struggle with the Elven Gods, Solas imprisoned them and created a veil that separated our world from the raw magic of the Fade. But now, he wants to tear down that veil and destroy the world, and we are the only ones who can stop him.”

While we still don’t have a release date for Dragon Age: Dreadwolf, BioWare has confirmed that the highly anticipated RPG has recently completed Alpha stage, meaning the game is now playable from start to finish. That said, there’s still a lot of work and refinement to be done.

BioWare had a few other surprises in store for Dragon Age Day 2022, including new character posters for Dragon Age: Absolution , the new series coming to Netflix on December 9, 2022. Check them out in the slides below.
