With Amazon Prime’s Fallout show becoming the talk of the town, people are brainstorming about what other classic gaming franchises they’d love to see transition to a TV series. Dragon Age creator David Gaider has a couple of ideas, but they don’t include his own RPG fantasy series.
In fact, Gaider stated on X (formerly known as Twitter) that a Dragon Age TV series is a “terrible idea.” Instead, the writer behind the Dragon Age trilogy would like “to see a David Lynch-style (on acid) Disco Elysium” show adapation “or maybe Banishers.” For those unaware about the latter suggestion, the action-RPG comes from Life Is Strange developer Don’t Nod.

I imagine everyone would expect me to say Dragon Age, but that’d be a terrible idea. I want to see a David Lynch-style (on acid) Disco Elysium. Or maybe Banishers. https://t.co/vljIVHAKKc

Now, what’s a bit funny regarding Gaider’s feelings about his own series for TV is that Dragon Age has received a TV show adaptation. In December 2022, Netflix launched Dragon Age: Absolution, an animated show that focused on an elf named Miriam and took place after Dragon Age: Inquisition but before the upcoming Dragon Age: Dreadwolf. Gaider is no longer working on Dragon Age and currently serves as co-founder at Summerfall Studios, which made Stray Gods.
The fourth entry in the franchise has been in development for years. Developer BioWare is planning a full reveal for Dragon Age: Dreadwolf this summer. It’s been reported the RPG is still set to come out later this year, though a delay into 2025 is possible. Dragon Age: Dreadwolf is being developed with PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S in mind, as the game won’t arrive on PS4 and Xbox One. Here is everything else we know about Dragon Age: Dreadwolf.
