Dragon Age Keep Beta Invitations Going Out
With the fall release of Dragon Age: Inquisition on the horizon, BioWare is inviting players to test its solution for integrating important decisions from previous entries into its new title. Dragon Age Keep is the answer to the conundrum, and invitations are going out now.
The news comes by way of Fernando Melo, director of online development at BioWare Edmonton. “Friendly @dragonage psa: If you happened to signup for the #dragonagekeep beta, today is a good day to check inbox & spam folders,” he writes.
Dragon Age Keep will allow players to create their own world states that mirror the decisions they made in Dragon Age: Origins and Dragon Age 2 (if they so choose). This will create a more tailored experience for Dragon Age: Inquisition, which players can import upon its release.
You can still sign up for the beta on the Dragon Age Keep website (but don’t expect to get selected for this round). For more on Inquisition, check out our coverage from the September 2013 issue.

Our Take
Dragon Age Keep is an ambitious and sensible approach to the cross-generation problem. Beta testing is smart since this service needs to work flawlessly on launch day. Die hard fans won’t want to start a game that isn’t in their version of the world, which could hold many up from starting Inquisition.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
