Delaying Dragon Age 3 by a year meant multiple playable races could be reinstated to the series, BioWare has revealed, EuroGamer reports.

"Because we moved the date we were able to bring it back," executive producer Mark Darrah told GameInformer. "We basically just had the time necessary to bring it back."

The delay - or rather the new release date of autumn 2014 - was announced at E3 alongside a new trailer, following an elongated period of silence surrounding the game, EuroGamer also reports.

The game is set to be released for PS4, Xbox One, PS3, Xbox 360 and PC in late 2014, NowGamer reports, leaving fans wondering if the game will be available during the 2014 holiday season.

"Built on Frostbite 3 - the DICE created engine powering next-gen visuals in the likes of Battlefield 4 and Mirror's Edge 2 - Dragon Age: Inquisition will have a whole new visual style," NowGamer writes.

"As a result of it running on this engine, Dragon Age: Inquisition will be ready for next-gen consoles as well as current gen."

"Dragon Age 3: Inquisition," a highly-anticipated game for many users, is rumored to have a significant fan base for those awaiting next-generation consoles.
