BioWare, makers of the Dragon Age and Mass Effect games, have released a new screenshot of their upcoming role-playing game, Dragon Age: Inquisition. The screenshot is a follow-up to last week’s image, which also depicted the Exalted Plains in the Dales.
Powered by DICE’s powerful Frostbite engine, Dragon Age: Inquisition has the capability to depict large-scale environments. It’s also an open world game, unlike its predecessors in the series.
BioWare provided a description of the region depicted in the screenshot, the Exalted Plains:
“The Exalted Plains of the Dales are characterized by equal measures of beauty and strife. It was here, centuries ago, that the elven nation met its bitter end. On these fields, the holdouts of the elven army faced the forces of the human Chantry and died, defending their promised land to the last breath. This legacy of conflict has endured, and battle once again rages in the Dales.
“The Exalted Plains are now a contested battleground in the Orlesian civil war, and soldiers fight and die here in vast numbers. As the boundaries of reality weaken across Thedas, the memory of injustices past and present draws the attention of restless spirits who rise to possess the dead and stalk the living across the blood-steeped earth.”
The game is the third main entry to grace the fantasy role-playing series and is set for release sometime this year.
