Rumors have swirled around a third Dragon Age game for months and now we finally have official details. Over on the Bioware Blog Mark Darrah announced that the game has been in some form of production since work on Dragon Age Origins concluded in 2009 and will involve veteran Bioware staff as well as some newcomers.

The game, titled Dragon Age III: Inquisition, will be powered by DICE’s insanely powerful Frostbite 2.0 engine and this will allow players to customize their character armor. Bioware is not ready to talk about the story of the game just yet, and in the past they have said that they didn’t want to announce Dragon Age III until they had “something to show”.

No specific platform was listed for DAIII but presumably it will be coming to Xbox 360, PC and PS3, just like the previous games. Given the rumored late 2013 release of DAIII AND the next Xbox, could Bioware give Microsoft’s latest hardware a boost out of the gate?
