Release date

After many tease and leaks , we at long last got confirmation thatDragon Age : The Veilguardwill launch on October 31 , 2024 .

Platforms

Short of some artwork shown during EA act 2020 — which we ’ll get to next — EA has n’t issue much aboutDragon Age : Veilguard . During Gamescom 2020 , though , we have another feel .

Despite being four bit long , the behind - the - conniption look does n’t really say anything aboutDragon historic period : The Veilguard . The beginning of the video also mentions next - gen ironware , all but confirmingDragon Age : The Veilguardwill launch on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. Being so late in the generation , it would also be safe to assume it wo n’t be fare to last - gen systems too .

Otherwise , the video offers a few glimpses of gameplay and one fussy returning character : Solas . This is n’t needfully tidings — BioWare has been pretty extroverted about Solas being a key character in the next game — but it ’s prissy to get confirmation .

Trailers

BioWare showed off the first prescribed teaser trailer forDragon Age : Veilguardduring The Game Awards 2020 . The lagger show off Solas and some of the role you may be able to play as set against the backdrop of a vibrant fancy world stream with color .

Otherwise , there was a trailer at The Game Awards in 2018 , as well as a behind - the - scenes look during Gamescom 2020 . Like most teaser , there is n’t much to go on in the trailer , unforesightful of a undivided piece of dialogue enounce , “ So , you found me at last . I suspect you have questions . ” Accompanying this line is a tag that interpret , “ The Dread Wolf Rises . ” you could see the puzzle below .

We ’re plunge into some spoiler territory here , so if you ’re interested in playingDragon years : Inquisitionbefore the 4th entry in the series , skip out front . The Dread Wolf in Dragon Age refers to the elven god Fen’Harel , with the “ Dread Wolf ” name showing up a pile during theTrespasserDLC   forInquisition . The traditional knowledge is complex , to say the least , andusers on Reddithave already started the long appendage of breaking down the trailer . In short , though , Solas , a companion inInquisition , confesses to being Fen’Harel in theTrespasserDLC . He then explains the risks of the Inquisition becoming corrupt before the Inquisitor is given a choice between discontinue Solas or redeeming him . Solas also say the phrase , “ I distrust you have questions . ”

Of course , we do n’t know the plot ofDragon Age : The Veilguard , but it ’s well-defined Solas is at the center of it . Further reassert this , BioWare pinch a handwritten letter from Solas inviting the Inquisitor to tea leaf in solemnization ofDragon Age : Inquisition‘s fifth anniversary .

The other thing the laggard touches on is red lyrium — in peculiar , a crimson lyrium idol fromDragon Age II.If you have n’t play the second secret plan , spoiler alerting : After notice the beau ideal with Varric and his brother Bartrand in the first act , it poisons Bartrand ’s mind . We can understandably see the god in the center of the mural , so although we do n’t know what will happen inThe Veilguard , it will in all likelihood   involve Solas getting his script on the vitiated matinee idol .

While not a preview , BioWare carry a community update that share some interesting detail on crafting the narrative . They claimDragon Age : The Veilguardwill be a balance of giving answer to the long - running questions of the serial , as well as a story that novel players can get invested in .

They will dynamically unlock as appropriate during the game , so you will never be overwhelmed with entries to record . They are also set up as in - world texts , such as letters or books , to keep the player invested in the world and use - act expression of the game .

Dragon Age Day 2023 came with another tiny teaser . It is mostly a simple VO as we see some images of maps and what may or may not be in - game stab of localization . The pith of it come at the closing , where we check that the plot will have a full reveal sometime in summertime 2024 .

TheDragon Age : The Veilguardrelease date trailer gives us exactly that , but we also get glimpses at more of the fantastical monsters we will struggle and friendly friend we will meet . As cool as the moment and conjuring trick we see are , all of it is cinematic , so it might not reflect things we will in reality be doing .

At the September State of Play , Dragon Age : The Veilguardshowed up with a trailer testify a full succession of a dragon engagement . After laying out the plan with a small contingent of soldiers , the flying dragon seem and the battle begins . This trailer ’s Rook is a mage , showing off a boniface of patch and abilities as they face off against Corius the Icetalon .

Traditional combat come along similar to an Arkham secret plan where you’re able to flow between foes to attack and see a danger indicant above your capitulum letting you know when to parry . you may also hedge some projectiles to broadcast them back to the foe who shot at you .
