Dragon Age: Inquisition gets appropriately epic box art

Perhaps it's just a side effect from the afterglow to watching this week's Game Of Thrones, but I can't seem to stop staring at the recently revealed box art for Dragon Age: Inquisition. Anyway, in the unlikely event you still actually go to bricks and mortar shops to buy your games, now you know what to look for: A goopy green cloud of monsters, and a knight with a flaming sword throwing a Freddie Mercury shape . Classic BioWare.

Also classic BioWare is the fact that the armoured character, the game's titular Inquisitor, isn't obviously a dude or a lady. As with Mass Effect, you can opt to play as either. Dragon Age: Inquisition is due out this Fall and runs on DICE's powerful Frostbite 3 engine. You can see some leaked footage of the game in action here , and there's also a very pretty and a couple of screenshots here .

Tim Clark

With over two decades covering videogames, Tim has been there from the beginning. In his case, that meant playing Elite in 'co-op' on a BBC Micro (one player uses the movement keys, the other shoots) until his parents finally caved and bought an Amstrad CPC 6128. These days, when not steering the good ship PC Gamer, Tim spends his time complaining that all Priest mains in Hearthstone are degenerates and raiding in Destiny 2. He's almost certainly doing one of these right now.
