Dragon Age: The Veilguard is the latest installment in the open-world RPG series developed by Bioware.
Watch 20 minutes of gameplay from Dragon Age: The Veilguard in this latest video for the upcoming RPG. The video gives us a look at various characters and classes in action, including a level 1 Rogue named Rook, the scout Lace Harding, an ice mage Neve Gallus, and Varric as they take on demons during a mission to stop the Veil from being destroyed by Solas. The video also showcases dialogue options and how choices can impact your companions, the city of Minrathous under attack, a fight in the Arlathan forest location, a peek at the ability wheel during combat, and much more.
Embark on a quest to face powerful Elven gods and stop the destruction they’re unleashing on the world. You are known as Rook, battling on the front lines alongside a compelling cast of companions with individual storylines and motivations. In true Dragon Age fashion, companions are central to the experience and as Rook, you must rise up, rally your crew and forge relationships to become the unexpected leader others believe in.
In Dragon Age: The Veilguard, the Elven Trickster god of legend Solas wants to tear down the Veil that separates Thedas from the world of demons, restoring his people’s immortality and glory – even at the cost of countless lives. But his ritual goes awry, and his worst fears are realized, as two of his most ancient and powerful adversaries are released. They seek only to finish what they started millennia ago – the complete and utter domination of our world. Rook’s journey to stop these two powerful deities will span across all of Thedas to bustling cities, lush tropics, boreal forests, fettered swamps and the deepest depths, but be wary of the evil forces along the way like the Dark Spawn, Venatori Cultists and Demons of the Fade.
Dragon Age: The Veilguard is launching in Fall 2024 for PlayStation 5 (PS5), Xbox Series X|S, and PC (Steam and Epic Games Store).
Looks more like a hack and slash than a Dragon Age of Old. Should have went back to Origins.
I’m immediately not at all impressed with this. Gameplay wise it looks more like a Kingdoms of Amalur sequel than a Dragon Age sequel. And having companions that you can just command like in Mass Effect is a terrible idea for this kind of game. Plus it seems like the enemies entirely ignore your companions anyways.
I’m right there with you on the Amalur thing. This doesn’t look like Dragon Age at all. They’ve deviated so far from Origins it’s basically a different game with the Dragon Age name.
