The rumor is in the ‘Inside Whispers’ section of the magazine, and it quite plainly says:
The addition of multiplayer to the Dragon Age series would see the title creep further into the mainstream. We saw a revised combat system for Dragon Age 2 which some of the fans of Dragon Age: Origins were none too impressed by, as the pressing need for a tactical and measured approach was replaced by a more straightforward combat system where it is pretty easy to kill enemies without the need for special abilities. That’s not to say we didn’t like the game – it was visually rich and fun to play – although the ending did leave a lot to be desired, but hopefully BioWare will improve upon that in the next outing for the series. Check out our review of the Dragon Age 2 for more insight into the title.
A rumor such as this wouldn’t carry much weight anywhere else, but it is worth nothing the Official part of the title of the Official PlayStation Magazine – It wouldn’t be too far-fetched an idea to assume that the magazine is the first port of call for studios hoping to get the Hype machine up and running with a little snippet if information.
Perhaps the multiplayer will be a co-op mode, allowing and players to play through Dragon Age 3 with a friend or two, which we think could be a pretty good idea. Better that than straightforward team deathmatch type modes, which Electronic Arts already have covered with a plethora of other titles and most recently, with Crysis 2. Co-op is an underrated feature, and a feature that would make an RPG such as Dragon Age much more interesting.
Do you think BioWare would be making a good decision by including a multiplayer element in Dragon Age 3? Would you prefer that the company opted for a multiplayer feature in Mass Effect 3 instead? Or should BioWare just forget about multiplayer altogether? Let us know in the comments.
