Bioware has made a major announcement regarding its highly anticipated game in the Dragon Age series. The game, previously known as Dragon Age: Dreadwolf, has been officially renamed as Dragon Age: The Veilguard. Fans of the series can expect a gameplay reveal on June 11, adding to the excitement surrounding the upcoming release.
Gary McKay, the game’s executive producer, explained the decision behind the new title in a blog post. He mentioned that the change came after extensive brainstorming sessions, particularly focusing on the game’s central concept and characters. The title reflects the importance of the main character’s companions, who will play a crucial role in the storyline.
The Dreadwolf, presumed to be the main villain, still features in the game, but the emphasis has shifted to the companions and their collective journey to save Thedas. The term “Veilguard” may allude to the in-game Veil, a barrier separating the material world from the magical realm. The Dreadwolf’s sinister plan involves destroying the Veil and merging the two realms, setting the stage for an epic adventure.
Fans can look forward to the gameplay reveal on the Dragon Age YouTube channel, where over 15 minutes of gameplay footage will be showcased. This glimpse into the opening moments of the game promises an immersive return to Thedas for players. Despite the excitement surrounding Dragon Age: The Veilguard, a release date has yet to be announced, leaving fans eagerly anticipating further updates from Bioware.
