A Decade in the Making

The development of Dragon Age: The Veilguard has been a long and complex process, marked by significant delays spanning almost a decade. Development started in 2015, following Dragon Age: Inquisition. However, BioWare’s focus shifted to Mass Effect: Andromeda and Anthem, impacting resources and delaying the project—then known as "Joplin." Furthermore, initial design conflicts with the company's live-service strategy led to a complete development halt.

The Veilguard was revived in 2018 under the codename "Morrison." After further development, it was officially announced as Dragon Age: Dreadwolf in 2022, eventually settling on its current title.

Despite the challenges, the wait is nearly over. Dragon Age: The Veilguard is launching this fall on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. Get ready for Thedas—the wait is almost finished!
