Trailers BioWare has treated fans to several teaser trailers that aim to showcase the setting and theme of the next title. There have also been extensive trailers showcasing gameplay and cinematics. The first, released in 2018, was primarily intended to build hype \u2013 and that it did. Featuring a fantastic score and gorgeous imagery, the trailer started a fire in the hearts of fans everywhere. 2018 Game Awards trailer With a chilling quote from former companion Solas, who states, \u201cSo, you\u2019ve found me at last,\u201d we\u2019re given a small hint into what route the story will be taking \u2013 likely carrying on to some degree from Inquisition. The video\u2019s description says: \u201cI suspect you have questions,\u201d with the #TheDreadWolfRises hashtag further solidifying Solas\u2019 role within the game. Behind the Scenes trailer In August 2020, BioWare shared a behind-the-scenes look at the developers working on the next Dragon Age title. Featuring concept art and even some small glimpses at in-game locales, such as twisted oak trees in shrouds of darkness and icy, frozen plains, this was a treat that hyped up fans for the next trailer. 2020 Game Awards trailer Two years after the announcement teaser back in 2018, the Game Awards trailer of 2020 provided even more fan service to die-hard Dragon Age fans everywhere. Featuring the narration of fan-favorite dwarven companion Varric, he tells us that he will stand beside us in our journey and that this is \u201cyour story.\u201d We also got glimpses of the game\u2019s setting, with the iconic location confirmed. Dragon Age Day 2023 trailer This late 2023 Dragon Age teaser \u2013 and the first trailer in nearly three years \u2013 was released on December 4, 2023, as part of Dragon Age Day. The brief video provides a quick overview of the many kingdoms and regions of Thedas, such as Antiva and Rivain. It culminates in a mysterious voice, likely the Dread Wolf himself, saying, \u201cAll the world will soon share the peace and comfort of my reign.\u201d The teaser ends with the confirmation that a full reveal is coming in Summer 2024. Xbox Games Showcase 2024 trailer The world finally received its first trailer for Dragon Age: The Veilguard during Xbox Games Showcase 2024. This revealed that characters like Harding and Varric will return, alongside new heroes, as well as a Fall 2024 release window for the game. Official Gameplay Reveal In June 2024, BioWare released a 20-minute gameplay trailer for Dragon Age: The Veilguard. This trailer shows the main character, Rook, exploring a chapter called \u201cThe End of the Beginning.\u201d Throughout the trailer, you get a glimpse of what the game\u2019s environment, character creation, cutscenes, and combat will look like. Release Date Trailer In August 2024, BioWare dropped a new trailer confirming Dragon Age: The Veilguard\u2019s release date. This included brand new cinematics, one of which confirmed the return of Morrigan from Dragon Age: Origins and Dragon Age: Inquisition. At the end, players got a glimpse of the release date for Dragon Age: The Veilguard \u2013 October 31, 2024. What is Dragon Age: The Veilguard about? From the 2020 trailer we were treated to, Varric\u2019s narration confirms that the game will focus on a new protagonist in the series, with the prior Inquisitor stepping away. He says \u201cIt\u2019s time for a new hero. No magic hand, no ancient prophecy.\u201d It seems as if the titular character will be someone of little power within the world of Thedas, someone they will \u201cnever see coming.\u201d BioWare has noted that Solas is the Dread Wolf and offered a description in an update: \u201cSome say he might be an ancient elven god, but some say not. Others say he is a betrayer of his people\u2026or a savior who now seeks to rescue them at the cost of your world. His motives are inscrutable, and his methods are sometimes questionable, earning him a reputation as something of a trickster deity\u2014a player of dark and dangerous games. Interestingly, BioWare announced ahead of the full gameplay reveal on June 11 that the game had been renamed to Dragon Age: The Veilguard. In a post, they explained that, while the Dread Wolf Solas will still play a major role, the new title centers the game on the player and their party, saying \u201cwe changed the name as the original title didn\u2019t show just how strongly we feel about our new heroes, their stories and how you\u2019ll need to bring them together to save all of Thedas.\u201d The same post also confirms there will be \u201cseven unique characters\u201d that serve as companions in The Veilguard Voice Actors On July 22, 2024, the main voice cast of Dragon: Age The Veilguard was officially revealed ahead of the game\u2019s appearance at San Diego Comic Con.

This means it won\u2019t be open world like Inquisition was, but instead, will be mission-based with smaller, more focused areas to visit depending on what your objective is at the time. However, Busche also confirmed that there will be some open explorable areas, so players won\u2019t have to worry about the game being completely linear. Busch explains: \u201cHowever, along the way, these levels that we go to do open up, some of them have more exploration than others. Alternate branching paths, mysteries, secrets, optional content you\u2019re going to find and solve.\u201d While sharing similarities with the first two games of the series, it is also reminiscent of one of BioWare\u2019s most popular games: Mass Effect 2. There will also be fewer companions in Dragon Age: The Veilguard than there have been in previous titles. To be exact, there will be seven companions total that can join a player\u2019s party. They are also restricting the party size to two companions, which is a reduction from the previous amount of three. It seems that BioWare is keen to really focus on the strengths of the series.
