- EA favors mainstream titles and views Dragon Age as niche and less marketable compared to the Mass Effect series.
- A remaster faces technical hurdles because the games use different engines, while BioWare’s resources are divided between projects.
- Tensions between development teams and the poor reception of Veilguard complicate the Dragon Age franchise’s prospects.
