The two-volume Dragon Age: The World of Thedas encyclopedia is getting a paperback boxed set reprinting in the coming weeks from Dark Horse Comics. The set will release on September 5 for $60, but preorders are now available at multiple online retailers, and you can even get a few dollars off your order depending on where you buy.
Dragon Age: The World Of Thedas Boxed Set includes paperback versions of volumes 1 and 2 enclosed in a protective slipcase featuring art from the games. Both volumes detail the lore and history of the fantasy world of Thedas, and cover the in-game events of the first three Dragon Age games, including the various locations, characters, and factions players encounter. The set will release on September 5 for $60, but preorders are currently discounted to just $55.79 at Amazon.
You can also preorder the set for $60 from Barnes and Noble.
If you don't want to wait for the boxed set, you can also purchase hardcover copies of both volumes separately at a discount from Amazon. Dragon Age: The World of Thedas Volume 1 is available for $28.66 (normally $50), and Volume 2 is on sale for $24.61 (normally $50). You can also grab Kindle eBook versions for $20 each.
Dozens of other video game art and lore books are also on sale at Amazon right now, including a few titles Dragon Age fans will likely enjoy, like The Art of the Mass Effect Trilogy: Expanded Edition for $22 (normally $40) and BioWare: Stories and Secrets from 25 Years of Game Development for $37 (down from $50). And if you're in the mood for more high fantasy books, you can grab over 40 Pathfinder Tales novels for just $35 in this Humble Bundle.

However, BioWare is supposedly targeting a Summer 2024 release at this time.
BioWare recently announced that it’ll be laying off roughly 50 jobs from across its studios as it looks to become a more “agile” studio while focusing on the development of Dragon Age: Dreadwolf and the next Mass Effect. According to journalist Jeff Grubb, however, the studio has hit development roadblocks behind the scenes with its upcoming projects.
The deal includes RPGs, strategy games, two Harvest Moon titles, and more.
If you’re a Dragon Age fan, then you’ve waited a long time now for Dragon Age: Dreadwolf. The follow-up from 2014’s Dragon Age: Inquisition has been in development for a while now, but it’s still having some trouble. That’s if one industry insider is to be believed. A new report is going around that the game was internally pushed back for later in 2024. Of course, we haven’t officially unveiled a release date yet.
Yesterday's BioWare studio update left fans of the studio feeling very anxious about Dragon Age: Dreadwolf. BioWare General Manager Gary McKay tried to assure the public that the layoffs of 50 employees wouldn't meaningfully affect the final development stretch of the fourth mainline installment in the Dragon Age series, but his words rang a bit hollow among the community.
Dragon Age and Mass Effect’s storied developer BioWare have laid off around 50 employees, including veteran devs who had been with the company for 20 years, in what they call a “shift towards a more agile and more focused studio.” The reasoning behind the job cuts has a now-rote focus on efficiency that sadly echoes other redundancy announcements from this year - including ones from other widely admired studios like Firaxis and CD Projekt Red.
Ahead of Dragon Age: Dreadwolf, BioWare announces it’s laying off 50 employees, including a writer who’s worked on every single Dragon Age game. It describes the layoffs as “necessary, but unavoidable” and insists the development of Dragon Age: Dreadwolf (and the next Mass Effect game) is still on course.
In light of BioWare eliminating approximately 50 roles to become a “more agile and focused studio,” general manager Gary McKay talked about the development for upcoming titles, like Dragon Age: Dreadwolf. Though not directly revealing the departures’ impact on the same, he said, “Our dedication to the game has never wavered.
In rather upsetting news, Bioware, the developers behind Dragon Age: Dreadwolf and Mass Effect, have announced that the company will be laying off around 50 employees as part of its efforts to restructure the studio’s approach to development.
It's been a while since we've heard any official news from BioWare on either Dragon Age: Dreadowlf or the next Mass Effect, but today's announcement is something that no one enjoys seeing. BioWare has officially announced that 50 people that were currently working on Dragon Age: Dreadwolf are being laid off, with the reasoning behind the move explained as the studio trying to become "more agile and more focused".
Publisher Twin Sails Interactive has shown off a trio of trailers at Future Games Show at Gamescom, one of which places the spotlight on the upcoming tactical RPG Wantless.
