As a seasoned gamer with countless hours spent traversing fantastical realms and forging unforgettable alliances in BioWare’s iconic games, I can’t help but feel a sense of nostalgia mixed with anticipation as Dragon Age: The Veilguard looms on the horizon. After the tumultuous journey that was Anthem, it’s heartening to see BioWare returning to its roots – rich worlds, nuanced characters, and compelling stories that make you care for your virtual comrades beyond the confines of a gaming session.
Story Highlights
- Iconic Dragon Age series creator BioWare has pushed out a new Dragon Age game after a decade or so.
- EA, the owner of BioWare, has affirmed that with the onset of The Veilguard, BioWare is returning to its roots.
- The latest iteration in the franchise isn’t out yet but is selling well in pre-order terms across the board.
Looking ahead to the launch of Dragon Age: Veilguard tomorrow, Electronic Arts (EA) CEO Andrew Wilson has addressed the current situation at BioWare following the less-than-favorable reception of Anthem. This statement was made during a recent investors call, which also highlighted “strong” Q2 financial results for the company. It seems that BioWare is shifting direction post its last release, returning to the elements that initially made it successful.
BioWare has refocused on the elements that made them beloved by fans – immersive game worlds, deeply complex characters, captivating narratives with a strong emphasis on camaraderie and relationships, and choices that significantly impact gameplay. This renewed focus on their strengths is what led to Dragon Age: The Veilguard, a nod to BioWare’s resurgence in the Dragon Age universe. (Credit for the original statement goes to IGN)
Although Anthem managed to sell 5 million copies during its lifetime and BioWare touting it as their “most significant project” (not their finest work), the game fell short of meeting expectations, providing a valuable lesson for the developers about the importance of quality over quantity.
As a passionate fan, I’d like to echo the words of Dragon Age: The Veilguard’s Creative Director, John Epler: “Instead of attempting to juggle numerous tasks beyond your skillset, focus on one thing—namely, crafting a compelling, solo player experience.
Dragon Age: The Veilguard Releases Soon; Early Reviews Already Look Great
It’s uncertain if there will be more games in the Dragon Age series or if BioWare plans to continue developing them. According to several prominent Dragon Age content creators like Mapo, The Veilguard is intended as a “tribute” or “gesture of affection” to fans of the franchise.
As a fervent fan, I can’t help but speculate that BioWare’s next venture could very well be the long-awaited new Mass Effect! For quite some time now, they’ve kept this tantalizing prospect hidden from our eager eyes. However, we’re yet to catch a glimpse of its release date for this upcoming RPG. It appears as though the game is still immersed in pre-production stages.
In October 31, 2024, Dragon Age: Veilguard will be available for purchase on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC platforms. Originally known as Dragon Age: Dreadwolf, the game underwent several challenging development phases but is now gearing up for a smooth release.
