During the EA press conference at E3 2014 BioWare’s future was previewed, including some new looks at their highly anticipated Dragon Age: Inquisition (coming soon), Mass Effect 4, and even a brand new game.

In the video you can check out below, Mass Effect 4 is discussed first with a few teeny tiny mini-teases of the game. It’s only “conceptual prototype” footage, but enough to be excited about. Then there’s their new IP, which no one knows anything about yet but which also has a little conceptual prototype footage if you’d like to take a guess.

It’s been a long, long wait for the third entry in BioWare’s Dragon Age series, and there’s still a bit of road to travel. But the game, titled Dragon Age: Inquisition, is indeed finally in sight, and a new gameplay trailer confirms an official release date…one that’s proving to be quite popular.

The trailer confirms that Inquisition will be released on October 7th. If that date sounds familiar it’s because it’s the release date that was set for the anticipated survival horror game Alien: Isolation. It’s also the release date that was set for the upcoming Lord of the Rings/Hobbit-related game Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor. Get those gaming fingers nice and stretched.

BioWare has released a new trailer for Dragon Age: Inquisition, the third game in their Dragon Age franchise.

The trailer is beautiful, stepping away from all of the action, adventure, and fighting you’ll find in the game for just a moment to show off some of the various landscapes and locations you’ll visit.

Be sure to check out the new trailer below!

It’s not much—in fact it’s almost nothing at all—but if you’re dying for just a tiny peek at the future of BioWare’s Mass Effect franchise, you may want to see these.

On this, N7 Day (a day dedicated to the release of the original game in the series), many were hard at work on Mass Effect 4…or whatever it will ultimately be called. But on this day, they decided to share with us some of the work they were doing via tweeted images. Some character design, hard-to-see new enemies, level design, and even one ultra-tease peek at the game being played.

You can see the images below!

We’ve known for a long while now that Mass Effect 3 was to end the Commander Shepard storyline, and that Mass Effect 4, whenever it might actually arrive, would start something new. This is understandable; three games with the same main character is enough and they want to move on to fresh new things.

But now comes word that the next game, which will likely start another trilogy story arc, will not only not have Commander Shepard, but that it will likely not have anything to do with any of Shepard’s companions or the events of the original trilogy at all.
