Dragon Age: Inquisition's Online Servers Set to Shut Down This Month

Dragon Age: Inquisition is preparing to lose its online functionality as BioWare confirms the game's multiplayer servers will be taken offline later this month, marking the end of an era for the beloved RPG's cooperative features.

The shutdown brings to a close a surprisingly long run for the game's online infrastructure. Released back in 2014, Inquisition's multiplayer component has managed to outlive numerous live-service titles — including BioWare's own ill-fated looter shooter Anthem, which saw its servers shuttered in 2023.

The online mode, while never the centerpiece of the Dragon Age experience, offered a cooperative dungeon-crawling experience that allowed up to four players to battle through various locations and enemy encounters. A dedicated community of players kept returning to the mode long after the game's single-player content had been exhausted.

For the vast majority of players, the server closure will have little practical impact. Dragon Age: Inquisition remains a richly detailed single-player RPG, and its award-winning campaign, companion storylines, and expansive open world will continue to function exactly as they always have.

The timing is notable given the recent launch of Dragon Age: The Veilguard, BioWare's long-awaited follow-up to Inquisition. The studio may be consolidating resources around its newer title as it works to build that game's player base and address post-launch feedback.

Players who wish to experience the multiplayer content one final time should log in before the end of the month. Once the servers go dark, the cooperative mode will be permanently unavailable.
