A Decade in the Making
The journey to bring Dragon Age: The Veilguard to life has been long and complex, marked by significant delays spanning nearly a decade. Initially conceived in 2015 after Dragon Age: Inquisition, development was impacted by BioWare's focus on Mass Effect: Andromeda and Anthem, leading to resource reallocation and project pauses. The initial design, codenamed "Joplin," didn't align with the company's live-service strategy, resulting in a complete development halt.
The project was revived in 2018 under the codename "Morrison" and 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 set to launch on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S this fall. Prepare for your return to Thedas!
