Dragon Age II "Exalted March" Expansion Cancelled

[Mar 20, 2012, 10:14 am ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

BioWare's Mark Darrah tweets word that a Dragon Age II expansion called Exalted March was cancelled as part of the just announced transition the developers of the RPG sequel are making to the "next phase" of the series (thanks GameSpot). Word is:

We did have plans for an expansion pack to DA2 but, other DA opportunities came up. There were even shirts! It was called Exalted March.

If you do research, you'll find that some products are only designed AFTER the packaging is designed. In other words the packaging is designed first, then after that a product is made to fit that packaging.

Also, in double blind tests, things like packaging have a huge effect on how much people buy or like a product. Even things like what percentage of people feel they are allergic or the deodorant doesn't work for them are often dependent on packaging.

So yeah, marketing and packaging and PR plays a huge role in companies like EA. Its not rare for publishers to ask for things to be changed or added based on what they think sells. Remember that wasteland 2 video about how the publishers are telling him to add twilight vampires to the game or they won't buy it? Yeah, that kinda thing goes on in real life, he wasn't just making that stuff up.
