Summary
- Despite claims, Dragon Age: Inquisition was a massive commercial success for BioWare.
- Dragon Age veteran Mark Darrah says Inquisition massively outsold EA's internal projections.
- Painting Dragon Age as a niche series that's betrayed its core audience isn't a narrative that holds up.
Mark Darrah, an executive producer on Dragon Age: Origins and director of Dragon Age 2 and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Dragon Age: Inquisition ha﷽s disput💃ed claims that Dragon Age is a niche series commercially.
In a 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:thread on X where industry insider Sh🍌inobi602 was arguing with detractors about a perceived change in direction for Dragon Age, Darrah stepped in to discuss the successes of Dragon Age: Inquisition.
Dragon Age Isn't A Niche Series
"Yeah I'm not sure where '[Dragon Age: Inquisition] is a commercial failure came from. [It's sold] over 12 million at this point. It massively oversold EA's internal projections. Oh yeah and was [game-ﷺof-the-year] in 2014," Darrah posted.
The other titles in the Dragon Age series are no slouches commercially, either. Dragon Age: Origins has sold over 3.2 million copies and Dragon Age 2 surpassed 2 milliౠon sales in 2011. Dဣragon Age's sister series Mass Effect has sold a similar amount of units but has done so with four games released to Dragon Age's three.
"I literally got some chotsky [junk pre෴sent] (I don't remember what) from a csuite member because [Dragon Age: Inquisition] saved the quarter," Darrah .
Dragon Age: Inquisition also managed to secure🌼 the coveted game-of-the-year award from The Game Awards in a very competitive year. Inquisition beat out Bayonetta 2, Dark Souls 2, Hearthstone and Middle-earth: Sh﷽adow of Mordor to win the show's biggest prize.
There is this perception among some that Dragon Age is a niche cRPG series that has never achieved widespread appeal and by changing some aspects of the series' identity in The Veil𒁏guard, BioWare is somehow betraying the core fans of the ꦿseries.
However, Dragon Age is a far more popular series than these people think and the series has adapt☂ed from entry to entry, purposefully being a less consiste𝄹nt experience than the aforementioned Mass Effect. The narrative spun by people eager to hate Dragon Age: The Veilguard doesn't hold water.
Dragon Age: Inquisition is the third in the popular action RPG series from BioWare, and serves as a sequel to the events of Dragon Age 2. You must travel the continent of Thedas in order to seal the 'Breach', a kind of portal that is sending demonic enemies into the world.
