If Schreier was right, I don't have much hope for DA4. He claimed that back in 2018, a 3 year in development build of DA4 called Joplin got cancelled, because it was too singleplayer focused for EA's liking (it also had development issues because devs kept getting pulled off the Joplin team to assist on Andromeda and Anthem). According to him, the new build of DA4, named Morrison, entered development immediately after Joplin was cancelled in late 2018. Morrison keeps the setting and storyline of Joplin, the Tevinter Imperium during the war between Tevinter and the Qunari with a heavy focus on Red Lyrium, and Solas, the Dread Wolf, as the main villain, and reuses many of Joplin's assets to speed it's development. However, Morrison was said to take heavy influence from Anthem, running on Anthem's build of the engine and with a live-service focus that EA can monetize long term. However, worth noting that Schreier released that article shortly after Anthem launched, before EA realized how badly Anthem flopped, so maybe EA changed their minds about making DA4 live service after Anthem flopped. Let us hope that Anthem flopping was enough to ensure that both DA4 and Mass Effect 4 are singleplayer now. |
Well, the biggest thing DA4 has going for it is that it's not Anthem, so how bad could it be?
If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.
