BioWare CEO Ray Muzyka has said the developer are taking fan feedback seriously for the Dragon Age franchise, and has consequently described Dragon Age 3 to be a combination of Dragon Age 2 and downloadable content pack Dragon Age: Origins.
Speaking to PC Gamer, he said:
The team is going to have some things that are going to surprise both sets of fans, both core fans and new fans with a marriage of the best from both games. One of the core values of BioWare is that we take feedback really seriously, and we know that the core fans who were expecting more Dragon Age Origins – we have to respond to that – we're not willing to ignore that, we're going to take that head on.
We also have an obligation to our new fans, the ones who were surprised and delighted with some new approaches and accessibility in terms of action and combat.
He continued:
What we need to do as developers is take that feedback from both sets of fans to heart and see about marrying that in future games in the Dragon Age franchise. And we look forward more to talking about that in the future.
BioWare developer Alistair McNally confirmed a few months back that Dragon Age 3 is indeed in development, but a full unveil for the unannounced role-playing game is still in the offing.
