Dragon Age, a series not exactly known for being shy when it comes to chucking in a spider or two, is taking a novel approach to the increasingly common practice of implementing an arachnophobia mode for its upcoming fourth instalment: it’s getting rid of all its spiders.
That’s according to BioWare community manager blackhairvioleteyes (thanks TheGamer), who shared the news on the Dragon Age subreddit after fans began querying the lack of an arachnophobia mode following Dragon Age: The Veilguard’s accessibility features reveal earlier this week. “No mention of arachnophobia filter,” noted redditor ZZssk, to which BioWare’s blackhairvioleteyes replied, “No arachnophobia mode because there’s no spiders!”
The immediate reaction to the news was mixed, albeit good-naturedly. Flyingfalcon01 was, for instance, overjoyed, writing, “Oh thank goodness!! My arachnophobic heart is pleased!”, while others lamented the fact this almost certainly means the terrifying spiders-with-human-hands seen in BioWare’s early work-in-progress renders got the chop.

Afterwards, original creator Dong Nguyen stated he had nothing to do with the revival. “I did not sell anything,” he wrote on social media. “I also don’t support crypto.”
