YouTube chat on the gameplay reveal are 1/4 people saying NIGGER, 1/4 people saying Dragon Age fell off, 1/4 Dragon Age fans hyped for it, and 1/4 new people who think its a cool action game.

Edit: and it turned to 80% people saying EGG EGG when Solas showed up.

I never owned a PlayStation, so I am basically saying this just from watching gameplay clips, but...

.... this really looks like a PlayStation game. Like an Uncharted type game, the Sony genre of game.

Introducing The Veilguard​

Welcome back to Thedas​




dragon-age-veilguard-eacom-coming-soon-16x9.jpg.adapt.320w.jpg


Hey everyone,

It’s been too long since we last spoke! We’re happy to bring back our community blog series, where we can chat with you about our next adventure - Dragon Age: The Veilguard.

If you’re joining us just now, earlier this week we released a blog detailing how we renamed the game to better represent what makes it special - it’s about you and your companions – not your enemies – that are at the heart of this new experience. Check that out alongside our Official Reveal Trailer which premiered at the Xbox Showcase on June 9th, where you first meet your seven companions.

We’re also excited to open the official BioWare Discord server. You can expect news drops, giveaways, activities, and more planned between now and launch. This is our new dedicated home where we look forward to bringing this one-of-a-kind community together with a space to engage more frequently and celebrate your favorite stories and characters from Dragon Age: The Veilguard and others in the franchise.

But that’s not all. We know what you value the most is seeing the game as it is, exactly how you’ll play it. So, we’re happy to provide you with a look from the opening moments of the game. Grab some snacks as we have 15+ minutes to explore Dragon Age: The Veilguard together.

Are you the hero Thedas needs?​

location.jpg.adapt.320w.jpg


This video from the first moments of the game is just the tip of the iceberg, and there’s so much more to discover on this epic journey. You’ll explore Thedas, uniting a cast of (yes, romanceable!) companions as you fight against ancient elven gods. In this crafted character-driven RPG, you’ll visit meticulously crafted biomes and beautiful regions, some that you’ve only heard whispers about in Dragon Age lore, including Rivain, Weisshaupt, Arlathan, Minrathous, and the Deep Roads - to name a few. We’ll have a lot more coming this summer as we fully detail what’s in store.

You’ll begin by diving into the Character Creator. You’ll choose your class, lineage, gender, overall appearance and more. Choosing which faction Rook is part of will unlock different narrative, dialogue, and gameplay interactions.

Combat is another area that has a lot of depth to it - both in how you choose to defeat your enemies and its progression throughout the game. The game will support various skill levels, but at its core, Dragon Age: The Veilguard has fluid moment-to-moment combat where you can choose between three classes - Warrior, Mage, or Rogue – each having their own advanced specializations. There's also a layer of tactical depth for those who want to dig in, which we really didn't get to cover in the video.

Our new customizable ability wheel will help you turn the tide of battle at any time. It will allow you to pause the action, issue commands to your followers, use abilities, and unleash devastating combos. As you become more powerful, you can start to see the potential in how much fun (and hectic) things can get.

We're also giving the option to use some of your abilities via a shortcut. Giving you these different kinds of options is something we thought a lot about and wanted to provide so you can find the playstyle that best fits you.

Alright, that’s it for now as we’ll dive deeper into this and all things Dragon Age: The Veilguard through the Fall.

The Week Ahead​

img-2926.jpg.adapt.320w.jpg


Before we go, if you haven’t seen this yet, we wanted to provide an overview of what we have upcoming. As we’ve said earlier, we plan to continue revealing more about Dragon Age: The Veilguard and answer your burning questions. However, there’ll be some things we have to keep close to the chest as we get closer to launch.

Remember to join the custom console giveaway before entries close on June 16th*, and set a reminder for our Developer Discord Q&A on June 14th at 10am PT. Submit your questions in the #ask-bioware channel on the server!

Dragon Age: The Veilguard will be coming to PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 in Fall 2024.

That’s all for now, talk soon!

Amazing... Avoid's so cringeworthy it's funny, but this was... sad. Pitiful. And I'm not disappointed, fuck Dragon Age, I tuned in for the mockery, but... You know how you've got shit that's bad, then you've got shit that's so bad it's funny? Well this went one step further, it's so hilariously bad that it transcends the funny.

I'm at a loss for words. They're really not enough.

So they have finally turned Dragon Age into Mass Effect, with skill wheel, two non controlable companions and shit.

What's next? The new Mass Effect game with no companions and only Shepard?

On the other hand they seem to bring back the personality system from DA 2, one of the better things from that game.
