Dragon Age's former producer had envisioned a 'Champions Edition' equivalent to Mass Effect's Legendary Edition, but he doesn't think it will happen anymore: 'There are basically no companies that could help you'
Former Dragon Age producer Mark Darrah had once envisioned a "Champion's Edition" for the series, akin to Mass Effect's Legendary Edition, but now believes such a remaster is unlikely to happen. The main obstacle is the technology used to develop the games. While the Mass Effect trilogy utilized Unreal Engine, a widely recognized technology, the Dragon Age games were built using different engines - BioWare's Eclipse, Lycium, and Frostbite.
Darrah explained that there are no companies now capable of assisting with a remaster due to the specialized knowledge of the Aurora Engine, which only BioWare developers are familiar with. Furthermore, Darrah suggests that launching such a project would necessitate a new team, but EA currently prefers independent developers, making it unlikely.
Despite this, Darrah remains optimistic about the possibility of a Dragon Age remaster, citing the game's outdated appearance as a potential selling point.
