“At BioWare, we create worlds of adventure, conflict and companionship, where you’re at the center of it all,” it said. “As fans of our franchise know, every Dragon Age game has delivered a new standalone story. Set in the world of Thedas, these tales explore epic locales and threats, always thrusting you into a new conflict. Each game also introduces a new lead hero – The Warden, Hawke, The Inquisitor – that you can call your own. You can expect all that, and more, with the new game…
BioWare also touched on the game’s long-time development and also teased the game’s seven companions that will be featured in The Veilguard .
“Each of the seven unique characters that make up your companions will have deep and compelling storylines where the decisions you make will impact your relationships with them – as well as their lives,” the blog continues.
“You’ll unite this team of unforgettable heroes as you take on a terrifying new threat unleashed on the world. Naturally, the Dread Wolf still has an important part in this tale, but you and your companions – not your enemies – are the heart of this new experience.”
The studio explained that to capture what the game is really about, it wanted to change the name from Dreadwolf to The Veilguard , saying “The original title didn’t show just how strongly we feel about our new heroes, their stories and how you’ll need to bring them together to save all of Thedas.”
Dragon Age 4 was first revealed in 2020 and fans have been eagerly awaiting news of a release date ever since. We can expect the upcoming gameplay reveal to do just that.
At the time, the 2020 announcement mentioned “next-generation technology”, suggesting that the game will skip PS4 and Xbox One and arrive only on PS5 , Xbox Series X , Xbox Series S , and PC.
