A Decade in the Making

Dragon Age: The Veilguard's development has been a long and complex process, spanning nearly a decade. Initially conceived in 2015 following Dragon Age: Inquisition, the project (then codenamed "Joplin") was impacted by BioWare's work on Mass Effect: Andromeda and Anthem, leading to resource reallocation and delays. Further complicating matters, the original design clashed with the company's shift towards live-service games, resulting in a complete development halt.

Revived in 2018 under the codename "Morrison," the game was formally announced in 2022 as Dragon Age: Dreadwolf before settling on its current title.

Despite the challenges, the wait is nearly over. Dragon Age: The Veilguard is launching on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S this fall. Prepare yourselves, Thedas awaits!
