Ray Muzyka has confirmed that BioWare is working on further Dragon Age content for after the release of the Awakening expansion

Awakening is out in the UK on Friday, but the BioWare co-founder said that the franchise was designed so that sprawling new stories could be told later on. "Mass Effect, for example, was designed as a trilogy from the start so the story has been in place from day one but we're always listening to player feedback along the way," Muzyka told NowGamer. "That directly influenced some of our decisions for Mass Effect 2. Whereas ME is more story-based, Dragon Age is more about the universe. We build up the world and we have these stories that can be told in that world."

There's more Ferelden-based action in the pipeline aftr Awakening hits shelves too. "There's a rich tapestry of history and timeline and kingdoms and empires that have been referenced in the original Dragon Age, and some [that] have not, but the franchise is to go to different places in the world and dive deeper into some of the interesting people you get to meet - Awakening certainly does that - and we have other parts already in development that we haven't announced yet," confirmed Muzyka. Could that be a reference to the recently rumoured Dragon Age sequel? We certainly hope so.
