Although there hasn’t really been much news, leaks and rumors have given some insight into what the game will hold, and The Anderfels could hold an important role when it comes to the game’s lore.
SinceDragon Age: Dreadwolfbegan productionnearly a decade ago, developer BioWare has kept any substantial progress of the project private, and this has brought up many questions regarding what the game’s story will be about.

Despite a rocky development,Dragon Age: Dreadwolfis set to expand on the lore of theDragon Agefranchise, and leaked gameplay revealing thatThe Anderfels would play a role in the storyhas provided a small peek into the game. TheDragon Agefranchise is rich with extensive lore, and there are many groups that thrive within Thedas.
However, one of the most fascinating groups in the game’s world isDragon Age’s Grey Wardens. The Grey Wardens are warriors who drink Darkspawn blood in order to defeat them and tend to use unorthodox methods and overlook an individual’s background if they deem them worthy of being able to help.
However,ingesting this Darkspawn bloodalso sets each warrior up for a short life. Each Grey Warden eventually hears The Calling, an effect the Darkspawn blood has that turns members of the group into ghoul-like beings. Despite this tragic fate that the Grey Wardens impose upon themselves, this group has kept Thedas safe from each Blight that has plagued the world.

The headquarters of the Grey Wardens, Weisshaupt Fortress, is located within The Anderfels. This is an important detail to make note of because the recent gameplay leaks ofDreadwolftook place within Weisshaupt Fortress. That said, to what extent the main headquarters of the Grey Wardens plays inDreadwolfis a mystery, including the location in the game hinting at the group playing a larger role this time.
The events ofInquisitionsaw the entirety of the Grey Wardens almost become lost to The Calling, so there could be some interesting narratives following the aftermath of the near-tragedy that threatened the safety of Thedas.
As hope forDreadwolfproviding a summer updatecontinues to grow, speculation around the game’s deeper story will persist. After nearly a decade, it will be interesting to see how BioWare chooses to continue the franchise’s story, andDreadwolfdiving deeper into the world of the Grey Wardens would be a fascinating storyline to pursue. Until more information is given about the game,Dragon Age: Dreadwolfremains one of the most anticipated upcoming RPG titles in development right now.
