BioWare is finally gearing up to release the next entry in the Dragon Age series. But if you want a taste of what’s coming in this acclaimed fantasy saga, Dark Horse Comics is releasing a prequel miniseries dubbed Dragon Age: The Missing.
IGN can exclusively debut a new preview of Dragon Age: The Missing #1, which is written by George Mann and drawn by Kieran McKeown. Check it out in the slideshow gallery below:
Here’s Dark Horse’s official description for the first issue:
A new story leading directly into BioWare’s upcoming game Dragon Age: Dreadwolf! Varric Tethras and Lace Harding descend into the abandoned Deep Roads beneath Marnas Pell in pursuit of a former friend. But the corruption of the blight has infected the walls, and the threat of darkspawn looms heavy in the air . . .
Dragon Age: The Missing #1 will release in comic shops and on digital storefronts on Wednesday, January 25.
While we still have no release date for Dragon Age: Dreadwolf, BioWare did confirm the much-anticipated RPG recently completed its Alpha milestone, meaning the game is now playable from start to finish. BioWare also recently released a new cinematic trailer shedding light on Solas, the titular Dread Wolf.
