Four Player Co-op Questing Allows Dragon Age Fans to Play Together for the First Time
BioWare™, a division of Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ:EA), today
announced the cooperative dungeon crawling multiplayer mode in Dragon
Age™: Inquisition. Created alongside the massive
single player campaign, this marks the first time gamers can play with
their friends in the Dragon Age franchise. The multiplayer mode
in Dragon Age: Inquisition will feature action-packed four player
cooperative quests separate from the single player open world story.
“For Dragon Age: Inquisition, a special team of veteran
developers from the Dragon Age and Mass Effect franchises
created fun, fast-paced multiplayer gameplay that requires strategic
teamwork on top of Inquisition’s party-based combat and extensive
loot and crafting system,” said Aaryn Flynn, General Manager, BioWare.
“It was early in the game’s development that we realized how much fun
fans of our series were having, with so many players teaming up in Mass
Effect 3’s multiplayer mode. We can’t wait to give Dragon Age
fans an even bigger and deeper experience.”
In Dragon Age: Inquisition’s multiplayer mode, four players will
team up across a range of multiplayer quests and objectives, exploring
intricate dungeons and vanquishing all who oppose them. While
dungeon-crawling, players will collect loot, salvage items, craft new
weapons and armor, and unlock new characters. At launch, players will be
able to unlock up to twelve characters across the three Inquisition classes
of Warrior, Rogue and Mage, each playing a different and strategic role
in multiplayer combat. Multiplayer in Dragon Age: Inquisition is
a standalone experience from the open world story players will embark in
the main game, and will not have an impact on single player progression
or story.
Fans of Dragon Age: Inquisition have the chance to experience
multiplayer August 29 – September 1 at PAX
Prime in Seattle, Washington. Hands-on will be available in the
Microsoft Booth located at the North Hall, 4th Floor, Booths
412, 422, 432.
