That second, full, wider image is absolutely crucial, not least for the tree that almost entirely disappears in the cropped version, so I’ll have a lot more to say about that farther down in the fresco analysis. The Dread Wolf at right is also far more ominous. Significantly cropped.Īnd here’s the full (harder-to-find) version: Notice how much was cropped from the original image! We can now see a full tree (which appears to be a burned vhenadahl) at left, and that Solas appears to be crossing some sort of bridge. Here’s what was originally shared: The original fresco image from the new teaser trailer, as shared on BioWare’s official blog and on the video teaser. The Mysteriously Cropped Muralįirst off, I was knocked out to realize that the officially shared mural is actually CROPPED. Sneaky BioWare! There are actually three different versions out there: the original (and most-cropped) version we see with the official BioWare post by Mark Darrah, the slightly wider shot posted by artist Nick Thornborrow (whom both Patrick Weekes and John Epler noted as the fresco artist on social media), and the full, uncropped version that we can only see in the video thumbnail, or as provided to the media. There’s a lot of good stuff to investigate and analyze, even in a one-minute trailer, so I’ll just jump right in. For me, he’s one of the great fantasy characters of all time.Īnd now we have this dark, delicious, and exciting new trailer that confirms Dragon Age 4, while also clearly pointing to Solas as the focus of at least some of the next game. ![]() Thanks to writer Patrick Weekes, he’s both hot and cold, poetic and brutal, honorable and devious, heroic and villainous. BioWare, at long last, teased us with a mysterious new Dragon Age 4 trailer, hashtagged #TheDreadWolfRises.Īs you may know from reading my previous analyses on Dragon Age: Inquisition, Solas is one of my favorite characters.

Spoiler Warning for ALL Dragon Age Games and DLCs! Rest assured, Solas is placing his pieces on the board as we speak.Solas: So.

But at the core of this, like every past game, is you. Whether you’re new to Dragon Age™ stories or you’ve experienced them all, using Solas’s namesake no doubt suggests a spectrum of endless possibilities on where things may go. His motives are inscrutable and his methods sometimes questionable, earning him a reputation as something of a trickster deity-a player of dark and dangerous games. Others say a betrayer of his people…or a savior who now seeks to rescue them at the cost of your world. Some say he might be an ancient elven god, but some say not. We know you’ve anxiously awaited new details, and today we’re excited to reveal the official title of the next adventure across the lands of Thedas- Dragon Age: Dreadwolf™.
