“Basically no one at BioWare” knows how Dragon Age works anymore, says studio veteran, so don’t expect a remaster like Mass Effect’s even if one would sell “super well”
A BioWare veteran has said that "basically no one" left at the studio still understands the inner workings of the original Dragon Age games, making a full remaster in the style of Mass Effect Legendary Edition unlikely in the near future. The comment highlights how years of staff turnover and restructuring at BioWare have eroded institutional knowledge of its older titles, even as fans continue to call for a modern re-release of the fantasy series.
The veteran reportedly acknowledged that a Dragon Age remaster would likely sell "super well" given the franchise's enduring popularity, but suggested the technical and institutional hurdles make such a project impractical for now. No official remaster has been announced, and the remarks underline the wider challenges legacy game studios face in preserving and revisiting their back catalogues after significant staff changes.
