Dragon Age Inquisition's Multiplayer Wasn't a Last-Minute Addition

BioWare reveals the game was codenamed Blackfoot, and was a multiplayer only game.

Many fans were surprised earlier this year when BioWare announced that Dragon Age: Inquisition would include a franchise-first multiplayer mode. The decision to add multiplayer to the game, was not a last minute choice.

"Weirdly, we actually had a project code-named Blackfoot which was the first game we had that was looking at Frostbite," Inquisition executive producer Mark Darrah said in an interview. "It was a Dragon Age game, multiplayer only, that was in development before Dragon Age II came out. That became the core of what became Dragon Age Inquisition, the techlines, more than any of the development, so we've actually been looking at [multiplayer] a long time."

Darrah also said that the multiplayer mode is actually at the heart of many role-playing experiences.

"It's sitting at a table with your friends and playing a pen and paper experience," he said. "It's been a single-player experience on computers for a long time, but Baldur's Gate had multiplayer co-op through the story. This is an attempt to get that feeling back, something you can do, get a fantasy experience, but much more bite-size."

Inquisition launches on November 18 for Xbox 360, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, and PC. Xbox One owners with an EA Access membership ($5/month or $30/year) can play a six-hour trial of the game starting on November 13.
