Dragon Age: Inquisition delayed to November 18

Something had to inevitably fall out of that packed October calendar and Dragon Age: Inquisition turns out to be the latest domino.

October was rapidly becoming a crowded month, which meant that something had to inevitably take a backseat. That something turned out to be Dragon Age: Inquisition. Publisher Electronic Arts announced that BioWare's upcoming RPG would be delayed by about six weeks and is now set to release on November 18.

Executive producer Mark Darrah made the announcement on the Dragon Age: Inquisition website (via Polygon), stating that the final weeks of development would be focused on creating a more polished experience.

Given what we saw from the game at E3, the wait may just be worth it. The game is still slated to arrive on PC, Xbox One, Xbox 360, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 3.

Ozzie has been playing video games since picking up his first NES controller at age 5. He has been into games ever since, only briefly stepping away during his college years. But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?

        I agree. I've been playing D:OS since a week before release. Hands down the best RPG i have played in years. I enjoyed DA:O, but never played DA2. But this DA:I looks like its going to be Brilliant! This needs to take its time and come out when it's polished and ready, regardless.

      considering the state of DA2, take as much time as you need so you don't come out with another abortion

        Agreed, I would've used the word abomination to describe DA2 however.

        If only they could go back to the basics that made DAO so good and improve on them, instead of doing what it seems like they did and was have a committee whose sole purpose was to pick each facet of DAO and make it worse. And lets not forget all the important tie-ins kids!

      Good on EA for getting their quality under control.

        I think this was probably BioWare's call rather than EA's.

          It might have helped that EA had a really good financial earnings call today.

      Probably a good move, same with the hardline delay. October was looking pretty nuts!

      I'd rather have a delay then a stinker.

      The Hardline announcement brings EA published titles down to a potential 6 for the whole year (not counting different platforms, and only 2 more currently released if you include those). This is down from like 50 last year (including all platforms). This is a sad year for EA.

        Less but better quality games is a bad thing?

        I'm already over saturated with more games that I can play before the end of the year.

          We have had UFC, PvZ, Titanfall, and 2014 FIFA World Cup. I wouldn't call that better quality. Last year we had Crysis 3, Dead Space 3, Need for Speed Most Wanted, Battlefield 4, Dungeon Keeper, PvZ 2, Real Racing 3 and SimCity.

      Fine by me Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor is supposed to come out Oct 7. I'll have that beat by the time Inquisition comes out, and hopefully made a dent in Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel. I'd rather wait if it means less bugs.

      They keep polishing this thing I'm expecting a diamond. I thought they where already polishing this game. So on release I'm expecting nothing but perfection.
      Go right ahead EA, set up the dominoes.
