Coinciding with this year’s Halloween celebrations is Dragon Age: The Veilguard release date. The fourth major installment in the Dragon Age series by Bioware and Electronic Arts has been in development since 2015. The Veilguard is rumored to include real-time combat action inspired by God of War games but BioWare didn’t confirm it in their press release. Instead, they are focusing on delivering “expansive and dynamic stories that navigate love, loss and complex choices,” forcing players to make tough decisions that affect Veilguard.
Dragon Age: The Veilguard Release Date Revealed In New Trailer
Dragon Age: The Veilguard is scheduled for a launch on October 31, 2024. It will be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and on PC via Steam, EA App, and Epic Games Store. BioWare also opened the pre-orders for the game which start from $59.99 on PC.
Although Veilguard will retain the characteristic Dragon Age branching storylines, dialogues, and dynamic choices, the developers seem to be heavily focused on the ‘action’ part of the RPG. The press release on the official EA website noted the words of John Epler, Creative Director of Dragon Age: The Veilguard, who stated the team’s goals:
“We wanted to give you the choice to really express yourself, and do that in a world full of adventure and danger. So whether you’re a Warrior, Rogue or a Mage, we can’t wait for you to gear up, gather your party, and set out for another thrilling adventure through Thedas this Halloween.”
In Dragon Age: The Veilguard, players step in the shoes of Rook. The protagonist strives to become a hero in the world of Thedas by fighting corrupt Eleven gods and other enemies. Rook can journey with seven companions, Bellara, Davrin, Emmrich, Harding, Lucanis, Neve, and Taasheach, each having its own motives and backstories. They also possess diverse abilities that need to be used strategically in combat.

A copy of the game won’t be included though, which is why it isn’t titled as ‘Collector’s Edition.’
The upcoming installment in the Dragon Age franchise will feature some of the old characters.
