Here ye! Here ye! Rejoice for the RPG wizards at EA label Bioware have today announced the planned release of DRAGON AGE 3: INQUISITION for the end of 2013.

The third instalment in the franchise, which started with the universally acclaimed Dragon Age: Origins in 2009, INQUISITION promises to be “Bigger, Deeper and Powered by Frostbite 2″ . It’s enough to make a Knight blush…  All joking aside the Frostbite 2 engine (developed by EA Digital Illusions CE) looked great in 2011’s Battlefield 3, so with an extra couple of years to play around with it, we can’t help but be excited.

And so we should be according to GM of Bioware Edmonton and Montreal Aaryn Flynn, who had this to say in a press release:

“The Dragon Age team has been working on Dragon Age 3: Inquisition for almost two years now. We’ve been poring over player feedback from past games and connecting directly with our fans. They haven’t held back, so we’re not either. With Dragon Age 3: Inquisition, we want to give fans what they’re asking for – a great story with choices that matter, a massive world to explore, deep customization and combat that is both tactical and visceral. At the same time, we know we need new technology to truly make this vision become fully realized. And we’ve been working with DICE to make Frostbite 2 the foundation for the engine that is going to power Dragon Age 3.”

Sounds great, just a matter of waiting a year now…
