BioWare and EA have released teaser trailers for new games in the Dragon Age and Mass Effect series.
The Dragon Age IV teaser hints that the game is still set in the mage-realm of Tevinter and will focus - once again - on a new hero arising to stand against the forces of evil, backed by familiar characters like Varric. The trailer ends with the name "Dragon Age," hopefully just a placeholder and not an indication that BioWare are going to rename the game just Dragon Age to confuse people. The game has been in development for some years, although the team was co-opted to help finish both Mass Effect: Andromeda and Anthem. The game now appears to be in full development at BioWare, but no release timeframe has been given.
The Mass Effect trailer features as Asari walking through a snowy wasteland with a destroyer Reaper in the background, after a camera pans across wreckage and the ruins of a Mass Relay, hinting that the game will take place after the events of Mass Effect 3 rather than following up on the other-galaxy shenanigans of Mass Effect: Andromeda. This new Mass Effect game is very early in development.
The move is hoped to restore confidence in the fanbases of both games after the heads of both franchises resigned from BioWare last week.

Have to say these will be "last chance" efforts for BioWare on my end after their last few outings and the gradual exodus of noteworthy talent over the years. I hope they knock both out of the park, but I'm fairly pessimistic. Here's hoping.
