Bioware is in the process of hiring staff to work on the next installment of the franchise.

In a statement posted on senior creative director Alistar McNally came straight out and announced that he is looking for environmental artists to work on Dragon Age 3.

McNally wrote: "I'm looking for exceptional environment artists to join me at Edmonton, Canada to work on Dragon Age 3."

The announcement is unsurprising given that Dragon Age II shot straight to number one in the charts on its launch week but polarised critical opinion by making some controversial changes to the control system and character customisation options.

Thanks MCV.
