A Decade in the Making
The development of Dragon Age: The Veilguard has been a lengthy process, spanning nearly a decade due to several delays. Initially starting in 2015 (post-Dragon Age: Inquisition), development was impacted by BioWare's focus on Mass Effect: Andromeda and Anthem, leading to resource reallocation and a complete halt due to the initial design clashing with the company's live-service strategy.
Revived in 2018 under the codename "Morrison," the game was formally announced as Dragon Age: Dreadwolf in 2022 before settling on its current title.
Despite the challenges, the wait is almost over! Dragon Age: The Veilguard is launching this fall on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. Prepare for your return to Thedas!
