Dragon Age: Inquisition Has Gone Gold

From Mark Darrah, Dragon Age Executive Producer:

 

I’m excited to announce that Dragon Age: Inquisition has gone gold on all platforms! This milestone is a testament to the hard work of the developers (and their families!) who put so much into this game, and took on every challenge that was put before them. That we’ve made it this far is also an acknowledgment of tremendous support and patience from our fans: you’ve been an inspiration to us since the beginning.

 

We started working on this game in earnest more than four years ago, before we’d even finished Dragon Age II. Back then, our goal was simple: do whatever we had to in order to tell the biggest story we’d ever told in the Dragon Age universe. Achieving that meant leaving no stone unturned – from adopting a new engine in Frostbite 3, to reimagining combat so it could blend tactics and action better than ever. It meant bringing back playable races in addition to gender choice, to work in conjunction with the biggest and deepest character creator we’ve ever built. It meant building a beautiful and detailed online platform to ensure your decisions from the previous games carried over. But most importantly, it meant crafting a story that put you in the role of a leader, with the biggest supporting cast we’ve ever had, made up of both new and returning characters.

 

These are characters who can challenge you, support you, fall in love with you, and maybe even betray you over the course of hundreds of hours of playing. Perhaps you’ll do the same with them. Looking over the vastness of the game we’ve finished, it really is the Dragon Age experience we’ve always wanted to make for you.

The biggest story of the year is yours to play, very, very soon. Thank you.

 

Mark

All I have to say is WOOT!

I'm curious, however. I have to ask... so what's happening internally for the remaining 19 days before release? I do presume that it's pretty much well-deserved vacation time (if so, totally understand it and I hope you guys enjoy every single one of those days to relax). But if it's still not quite vacation time then... what's going on? I mean for Inquisition's dev team specifically (not in the whole of BioWare).

At least a chunk of us are moving onto Mass Effect (or back onto, like in my case), some remaining for release/post-release support, DLC team(s? I don't really know anything of DA DLC myself) are still fairly sizeable I suspect and probably already starting their stuffs. WORK IS NEVER DONE.

But definitely a good amount of vacation is being had for sure.

 

Also, woo! Gold! Shiny. preciousss

I did notice your tweet earlier about moving back on to ME, which made me think the game might've gone gold, which it did.

Not quite everything was golden at that point, but close enough!

 

Isn't the next Mass Effect being developed primarily by the Montreal studio, though?

 

I always thought Edmonton would simply oversee the project without much involvement. But I also know nothing.

Primarily, yeppers. I know at least a couple are actually moving to Mtl, but some in Edm will also work on ME from there still.

I'd like to point out that I have YET to see you in your BadNewsBarrett shirt. This is a crime. We have to make this happen before Inquisition launches. Get the "bad news" out of the way pre-launch, hahaha

The good news is that DA's gone gold, but I'm afraid I've got some bad news: YOU ALREADY HAVE SEEN
