We’ll be heading down to PAX South this week, trading the northern cold for the much milder pastures of San Antonio.
If you’ve been to a PAX with us before, then you know we’ll be running a BioWare Base all weekend, where you can meet our developers and listen to them talk about making Dragon Age: Inquisition. We’re located in rooms 212AB on the concourse level of the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Centre and are open from 10am-6pm Friday through Sunday, so drop in and say hello.
Be sure to attend our 2pm Saturday panel, where we’ll have some of the key Dragon Age developers, including creative director Mike Laidlaw and art director Matthew Goldman, talking about what it took to make 2014’s Game of the Year.
We’ll also be hosting a Cosplay Parade on Saturday at 4:30pm, which is by now one of our traditions at every PAX we go to. Stop in to show off your costume or just to cheer on some great cosplay.
Below you can find a complete schedule for the weekend. We hope to see you there!
