A former Dragon Age developer has said they doubt the franchise will return, pointing to EA's large collection of dormant game franchises as evidence that reviving beloved series is not something the publisher tends to prioritise. The comments add to ongoing uncertainty about the future of the Dragon Age series following its mixed commercial performance, and reflect a wider industry concern about how major publishers manage long-running IP once it falls out of active development.

The veteran described EA's backlog of shelved properties as "frightening" in scale, suggesting it illustrates how easily a franchise can be left dormant rather than revisited, and said "I suspect it wouldn't happen" when asked about a possible Dragon Age comeback. No official statement from EA or BioWare accompanied the remarks, leaving the series' status unresolved for now.
