Blogposts:






  • 6 factions to choose from when you create your character, all with "deep roots in Thedas": Antivan Crows, Gray Wardens, Shadow Dragons and more-
  • You can customize your Inquisitor from Dragon Age: Inquisition in the character creator and "make a few key decisions that will impact how The Veilguard begins"
  • Confirmed: Scout Harding is a romance option.
  • Griffon Name (from the trailer) is named Assan


This month, Dragon Age: The Veilguard (you read that right – Dreadwolf is no more) graces the cover of Game Informer. After years developing Baldur's Gate and its sequel early in its history, BioWare struck out to create its own fantasy RPG. That series began with Dragon Age: Origins in 2009. It was followed up with Dragon Age II in 2011, and then Dragon Age: Inquisition in 2014. While the Dragon Age series' history has its ups and downs, fans have been patiently waiting for BioWare to return to the franchise, and 2024 is finally the year.


We visited BioWare's Edmonton, Canada, office for an exclusive look at Dragon Age: The Veilguard, including a look at its character creator, its prologue and opening missions, and more. We also spoke to many of the game's leads about the name change, the series' shift to real-time action combat, the various companions (and the relationships you can forge with them), and The Veilguard's hub location. You can learn about the titular Veilguard, Solas' role in the game, and so much more in our 12-page cover story for Dragon Age: The Veilguard.

Depending on how the previews go... this makes me even MORE worried for the new Mass Effect.

EA is doing what a lot of companies are doing right now, trying to appeal to EVERYONE and not realizing this never works!
And I don't mean race/ethnicity/nationality wise, I'm talking about gaming habits, genre acceptance, etc.

Like I said before (in a controversial post), but some elements of gate-keeping would actually help preserve IPs.

This looked like ass. I feel for DA fans.

This looks like Vomit that has been re-vomited again.

What did they do to this once incredible devolper.

I played DA Origins 8 times, DA 2 4 times and Inquisition 2 Times,

Will i still play this? Yes

Will i like it? Probably not

I didn’t finish inquisition. Quit at probably the end where some war table nonsense was annoying me. And I didn’t like it much either…

But since this is carrying over the character… I’m considering revisiting and wrapping it up.

Had an issue with my ea account where I had to reset it and lose all my stored progress from back then. I probably still have the psn cloud save but i wonder if BioWare has this data themselves too. Can players migrate characters from other console families etc… will need to look into it

Yooooo looks like Hogwarts got an update. Looks pretty similar to that. On another note I hate the fact that still to this day they still won't let us bring our O.G Warden from Origins.
Makes me wonder if we will get a remake or remaster of it with updated graphics. I'd double dip for that.

The last good game bioware made is nearly a decade and a half ago, I don't know why people expect them to make a good game suddenly. Getting good happens in incremental stages, You don't suddenly release a GOTY after a decade worth of duds. This seems to be chasing the ARPG crowd but that whole thing is dominated by the soulsborne games, all in all I think we finally have the bioware killer on our hands

Inquisition was a good game. I enjoyed it but the game was not without its flaws and there were many. The game was trying to do too much and the result was an overstuffed game. BioWare could have cut out a couple of things from the game that’s for sure.

Looks great. Very happy that the combat is real time with a pausing system for spells and whatnot. Perfect for me. But still no release date. Come on!!
