The rumour mill is spinning once again with an anonymous tipster claiming that the next entry in the Dragon Age series will have multiplayer.
Speaking to Kotaku, the insider has said that the role playing franchise is to feature arena-based online multiplayer with competitive multiplayer and player vs. enemy elements. Best of all, you can play as a dragon, which could be incredibly badass.
The informant wasn’t sure whether the Dragon Age multiplayer was going to be part of a possible Dragon Age 3 or be a downloadable title, so we’ll have to wait and see on that front. What they did confirm, however, was that it is being developed on DICE’s Frostbite 2 game engine used for Battlefield 3.
It’s unclear whether this is the same insider that leaked the details for a Dead Space FPS, another EA series, but we’ll keep you posted.
If this stuff is true, man, EA must be fuming.

I’ve decided to try to be a bit more optimistic about games that really don’t seem to need it implementing multiplayer. It was that or become clinically depressed ;)
So here it goes; this could be good, i mean playing as a dragon is something we done get to do very often and the hoard mode type thing could be very fun. Really it depends on the amount of resources EA are willing to throw at it, with the more the merrier I guess.

I’m all for an increase in two play split screen co-op (two gamers, one console, grrr) but not generic online mutliplayer that just get crowbarred in to a game for the sake of it. If you could play as one of the other people in the main group that would work, but this just sounds a bit, well, meh.
