Mark Darrah, former head of Dragon Age, believes that EA has become a hedge fund with a videogame hobby. This could mean that the Dragon Age series is doomed. Darrah does not think that anyone is left at BioWare who would pitch a new game in the series, and he also does not believe that studio executives would allow anyone else to do so. A producer has stated that a remaster of the Dragon Age trilogy is unlikely because nobody who knows the old engine is left on the team. The lack of trained personnel to handle the old engine makes a remaster in the style of Mass Effect seem unlikely. The series remains very popular among players, so any decision about its future will have a significant impact on the community. The situation with the Dragon Age series is uncertain and could be in the process of negotiation.
