Ipreviously had the chance to see about an hour of gameplay from Dragon Age: The Veilguard’s openingduring Summer Game Fest 2024. What BioWare showed at the time looked quite impressive, with a stunning character creator and a plot that’s throwing players right into action, as player character Rook teams up with Varric and others to try and stop Solas.
Dragon Age: The Veilguard is slated to launch across Xbox Series X|S, Windows PC (including Steam), and PlayStation 5.

I am very excited to play Dragon Age: The Veilguard. As I’ve mentioned many times before,Dragon Ageis a series that’s extremely close to my heart, and I’ve replayed Origins more times that I can count. I’m actually in the middle of a series-wide replay right now in order to prep for The Veilguard.
Dragon Age: The Veilguard is shifting the series more towards an action-oriented format, which has plenty of fans sceptical. Long-time Bioware fans have been desperately awaiting a return to form for the storied studio, after previous efforts like Anthem and Mass Effect: Andromeda failed to achieve the heights generally expected of the studio. Veilguard will hopefully (hopefully) be a return to form.
