No more rumors or guessing as BioWare has officially announced Dragon Age III: Inquisition is coming late 2013 and it will be powered by the Frostbite 2 engine.

Dragon Age executive producer, Mark Darrah revealed the title over on the BioWare blog and a press release from EA also confirmed the news. According to the publisher BioWare has been working on the game for the past two years. Darrah offered up a few snippets of information about the title which can be found below:

• The next game will be called Dragon Age III: Inquisition.
• We won’t be talking about the story of the game today. Though you can make some guesses from the title.
• This game is being made by a lot of the same team that has been working on Dragon Age since Dragon Age: Origins.  It’s composed of both experienced BioWare veterans and talented new developers.
• We are working on a new engine which we believe will allow us to deliver a more expansive world, better visuals, more reactivity to player choices, and more customization. At PAX East, we talked about armor and followers. Yeah, that kind of customization. We’ve started with Frostbite 2 from DICE as a foundation to accomplish this.

“The Dragon Age team has been working on Dragon Age 3: Inquisition for almost two years now,” said Aaryn Flynn, general manager of BioWare Edmonton and BioWare Montreal. “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,” Flynn added.
