Dragon Age 4 in 'Mid-development'; BioWare Lost Another Producer
BioWare has confirmed the current status of Dragon Age IV. Work on the game is progressing, although the project has lost an executive producer.
BioWare has assured that Dragon Age IV is "in mid development" and work on the game is progressing smoothly. Gary McKay, the head of the studio, presented this information in the context of his mentioned stages in the development of the video game, i.e. concept, pre-production and alpha and beta versions.
In other words, the fourth Dragon Age is still far from completion, but work on the project is well underway. McKay also promised that the developers will be active on social media this year, which can be taken as a promise to share teasers, however modest.

The information coincides with what was reported by journalist Jeff Grubb last week. According to him, BioWare has no major problems with the work on DA4 although we will have to wait at least 18 months for the game's debut.
BioWare Loses Developer Associated With Anthem 2.0
Unfortunately, this basically good news was not the only one revealed. McKay also announced that Christian Dailey, who was the executive producer of Dragon Age IV following the departure of Mark Darrah in 2020, has left Bioware. The creator had been a member of the studio since 2018, albeit he was "made famous" only for his work on a would-be revised version of Anthem.
The news was confirmed by Dailey himself on Twitter, but he also did not give reasons for his departure or reveal what he plans to do after parting ways with BioWare.
Mass Effect 5 Not Coming Anytime Soon
There was mention of the new installment of Mass Effect, which is still in the prototype stage. It looks like the team will make us wait a long time for the next part of the space opera series:
"All of them [creators of the fifth Mass Effect ed. note] are actively preparing new ideas and experiences. Next-gen AAA games take a long time to develop. We know our fans may want to see them sooner. But our top priority must be quality, and that takes time to achieve."
