Dragon Age: The Veilguard is an action role-playing game developed by BioWare and published by Electronic Arts. It is the fourth major game in the Dragon Age franchise, and the sequel to Dragon Age: Inquisition (2014). Set ten years after Inquisition,[1] the game features new locations in the fictional world of Thedas for the player to explore.[2] The story follows a player character known as Rook, who attempts to stop Solas, also known as the elven trickster god Fen'Harel, from destroying the Veil that imprisons amoral elven gods. Rook accidentally unleashes two of the gods, who wreak havoc across Thedas in an attempt to conquer the world; supported by companions and various factions, Rook sets out to stop them. Players control Rook from a third-person perspective and travel to various zones via magical portals known as Eluvians. Veilguard utilizes a "hub-and-spoke" world design unlike its predecessor's open world.
The game's development, which began in 2015, was marked by lengthy delays, several fundamental changes in design, and high staff turnover.[3][4] The game was announced as Dragon Age: Dreadwolf in 2022,[5][6] and retitled to Dragon Age: The Veilguard in June 2024.[7][8]
Dragon Age: The Veilguard released for PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S on October 31, 2024.[9][10] After release Dragon Age: The Veilguard topped Steam charts and broke BioWare's concurrent player record.[11] The game received generally positive reviews from critics, and was nominated for Game of the Year at the Golden Joystick Awards[12] and Innovation in Accessibility at The Game Awards.[13]
