The upcoming fourth entry into BioWare’s Dragon Age series was reportedly rebooted in 2017, and is allegedly influenced by a canceled Dragon Age project the studio had potentially been working on since 2015.
Kotaku reports that the current version of Dragon Age 4 began development under the codename Morrison while the canceled project was known by the codename Joplin. Morrison is reportedly being made on Anthem’s tools and codebase, and is planned to have a “live service component” designed to sustain long-term gameplay and revenue. The current project is reportedly being made in BioWare’s primary Edmonton offices.
