After a name change from Dreadwolf and a bunch of years in development, we now have a release date for the Dragon Age: The Veilguard. The game will launch October 31, 2024, which was a surprise to some who were under the impression that it would be a 2025 title.
This is great news for those eager to get their hands on another Dragon Age game, and will be able to get stuck in prior to any Holiday breaks.
This date came out ahead of the official release date trailer for the game, albeit by just a few hours.
Dragon Age: The Veilguard trailers
This latest iteration of the Dragon Age series was under wraps for some time but after being officially revealed in June 2024, we have two trailers to dive into.
The first of these is the reveal trailer — and instead of a short logo and some fancy music, we got a pretty big look at the art style for the game, coupled with some in-depth dialogue from various NPCs.
Granted, this was a cinematic trailer of sorts, with no actual gameplay.
Next up, we received a whopping 20 minute gameplay trailer showcasing the start of the experience and what enemies lie in wait for you and your squad.
Dragon Age: The Veilguard platforms
Dragon Age: The Veilguard will launch on Xbox Series X|S, PS5, and PC, with older generation consoles missing out.
Focusing on the current generation of consoles and PC allows the devs to create a game with more graphical fidelity.
Dragon Age: The Veilguard classes
Just like other games in the Dragon Age series, there are three classes you’re able to pick from when creating your character.
Here are each of the classes and descriptions so you know what to expect when crafting your hero:
- Warrior – Warriors command the flow of the battlefield. Some lay waste with sword and shield, while others use a two handed weapon to send enemies flying.
- Mage – Mages rain down fury with spells that incinerate, freeze, electrocute and crush. Some cast from afar, while others prefer close quarters combat.
- Rogue – The rogue’s hallmarks are quick movement and reflexes. Whether wielding a bow or dual swords, they use powerful, precise strikes for lethal damage.
Is Dragon Age: The Veilguard multiplayer?
Even though many suspected that Dragon Age: The Veilguard would have a multiplayer element, it is a single player only game.
Bioware did state that they took a “hard look at multiplayer” but made the sacrifice to keep it a single player title in an effort to focus on “unforgettable characters” and engaging story.
Is Dragon Age: The Veilguard on Game Pass?
At the moment, there has been no word as to whether Dragon Age: The Veilguard will be a day one release on Game Pass.
However, since it is published by EA and EA Play is still a benefit of being a Game Pass subscriber, Veilguard may make it onto the service at some point.
