Although it’s been about a year since the release of Dragon Age 2, BioWare’s RPG sequel was apparently set to receive an expansion, entitled “Exalted March.” However, executive producer Mark Darrah says it has now been canceled.

Darrah revealed on Twitter that the expansion was abandoned in favor of “other DA opportunities.” A sequel seems likely, given BioWare’s vague hints.

He further elaborated on the BioWare forums. “You’ve most certainly heard the rumors floating around, and unfortunately I can’t really comment on them,” he wrote. “However, what I can say is that we’ve been thinking a lot about Dragon Age – what it means, and where it could go. This past year, we’ve spent a lot of time both going back to the ‘BioWare vault’ of games and re-examining them, and looking at some new possibilities that today’s industry allows.

While the company prepares for the announcement of whatever comes next for the series, it’s inviting feedback on what fans would like to see from the series. Given the outcry over Dragon Age 2, the obvious answer would seem to be “not that.”
