Why this matters to Alberta game development

Edmonton-based BioWare winning Game of the Year for Dragon Age: Inquisition at the inaugural 2014 Game Awards gave an Alberta-developed project one of the international game industry’s highest-profile honours. The award placed BioWare alongside winners from major studios worldwide and recognized a project developed by a company that had grown from its Edmonton origins into a globally prominent RPG developer. The recognition is an important milestone in Alberta game-development history because Dragon Age: Inquisition competed at an international level during the launch of what would become one of the industry’s major annual awards events. BioWare’s Game of the Year win demonstrated the scale and international reputation that game development based in Edmonton had achieved by 2014.
