EA cerrará los servidores de Dragon Age: Inquisition en PS3 el 28 de abril

Electronic Arts ha anunciado que los servidores de PlayStation 3 para Dragon Age: Inquisition dejarán de funcionar el 28 de abril, poniendo fin a las funciones multijugador del juego después de más de una década. El lanzamiento de 2014 marcó la primera entrega de la serie Dragon Age en incluir un modo multijugador cooperativo junto a su campaña para un solo jugador.

Dragon Age: Inquisition, la tercera entrega principal de la serie de juegos de rol de fantasía de BioWare, se lanzó en 2014 con el reconocimiento de la crítica y grandes ventas. Introdujo elementos multijugador en una franquicia tradicionalmente centrada en la experiencia individual, permitiendo a los jugadores formar equipos para realizar campañas. Esas funciones en línea en PS3 han persistido mucho más tiempo que las de muchos títulos modernos de servicio en vivo, superando incluso a Anthem de la propia BioWare, cuyos servidores cerraron a principios de este año tras su debut en 2019 y solo dos años de soporte. El título más reciente de Dragon Age de BioWare, Veilguard, recibió críticas positivas y unas ventas iniciales sólidas, pero no alcanzó las expectativas a largo plazo de EA, lo que provocó despidos en el estudio. El cierre de Inquisition se produce en medio de tendencias más amplias del sector en las que los juegos de servicio en vivo suelen fracasar rápidamente; ejemplos de ello son Highguard, que duró apenas dos meses, y Concord, cerrado tras dos semanas y calificado como el mayor fracaso de PlayStation. EA no ha detallado si la decisión está relacionada con los recientes despidos o con su impacto en servicios relacionados como el portal de la comunidad Dragon Age Keep.

Bloomberg journalist Jason Schreier suggests Sony is shifting strategy to keep traditional single-player first-party games exclusive to PlayStation consoles. Live service titles would still launch on PC, but upcoming releases like Marvel's Wolverine appear headed for console-only debuts. This marks a potential reversal from recent years when hits like God of War reached PC platforms.

Sony Interactive Entertainment has abandoned plans to release current and future first-party single-player PlayStation games on PC, according to a Bloomberg report. Titles including last year's Ghost of Yotei and the upcoming Saros—a Returnal successor set for April 30—will stay exclusive to PS5, while multiplayer games like Marathon (launching tomorrow on PS5 and PC) and Marvel Tokon continue multi-platform. This reverses six years of ports since Horizon Zero Dawn.

Vinit Agarwal, former director of the cancelled Last of Us multiplayer game, revealed that the project was about 80 percent complete when Naughty Dog axed it roughly three years ago. In an interview with Lance E. Lee, Agarwal described the decision as stemming from a post-COVID decline in online gaming and a choice to prioritize single-player titles led by studio president Neil Druckmann. He called the cancellation soul-crushing after seven years of work.
