In Dragon Age: The Veilguard, Solas, the Dread Wolf, wants to
tear down the Veil that separates Thedas from the world of demons,
restoring his people’s immortality and glory – even at the cost of
countless lives. But his ritual goes awry, and his worst fears are
realized, as two of his most ancient and powerful adversaries are
released. Players will step into the role of Rook, a
fully-customizable protagonist who must rise up and unite their
companions to stop these two powerful deities on a journey that
will span across Thedas’ bustling cities, lush tropics, boreal
forests, fettered swamps and deepest depths.
“On behalf of everyone at BioWare, I want to thank you for
joining us on our latest adventure,” said Gary McKay, Vice
President/General Manager, BioWare; Executive Producer, Dragon Age:
The Veilguard. “After years of careful planning, countless hours of
expert work, and innumerable design decisions, Dragon Age: The
Veilguard is ready. We are so proud of this achievement and excited
to see its impact on our worldwide community of fans, without whom
none of this would be possible. We hope you have just as much fun
in your own Rook adventure as we did creating it.”
Dragon Age: The Veilguard offers 21:9 ultrawide aspect ratio
support, uncapped PC frame rates and a suite of Ray Tracing
features. Additionally, you’ll be able to accelerate performance
with DLSS 3, make gameplay even more responsive with Reflex, and
enhance image quality and immersion with ray-traced reflections and
ambient occlusion. Dragon Age: The Veilguard will also be available
to play in “Ultimate” quality via NVIDIA GeForce NOW, and
specifically enhanced for PlayStation 5 Pro. Additionally, this
will be the first EA title to offer HDR10+ GAMING functionality
that delivers outstanding high dynamic range performance
automatically when enabled on PCs with compatible NVIDIA graphic
cards and HDR10+ GAMING certified displays.
The title builds upon the pillars the iconic series is best
known for, delivering a bold and heroic adventure guided by rich
storytelling, fluid and strategic combat, companions and
fellowship, and choices that matter. Key experiential elements
include:
- Fellowship: Dragon Age: The Veilguard’s brand new
companions come alive with some of the most compelling individual
storylines in Dragon Age history. Expansive and dynamic stories
navigate love, loss and complex choices that will affect your
relationships and the fate of each member of the Veilguard. New
companions like the Veil Jumper Bellara, the necromancer Emmrich,
and the private detective Neve, come from iconic factions in Dragon
Age lore, possessing individual skill trees and specialized gear
for advanced team progression. You’ll see familiar faces, too, such
as the archer Lace Harding who returns to the series as a full time
companion.
- Choice and Consequences: Dragon Age: The Veilguard
builds on the series’ deep role-playing roots, providing
extraordinary storytelling and worldbuilding, deep personalities
for each companion, meaningful choices and impactful cinematic
moments. The bonds you create and the relationships you forge will
be affected by your choices made throughout your journey.
- A Crafted Experience: As a character-driven RPG, Dragon
Age: The Veilguard delivers a crafted experience that pays homage
to BioWare’s history of storytelling. The Lighthouse provides a
central place where you can rest, learn more about the world
through conversations, while the Crossroads allows you to traverse
to separate explorable regions of the world with your companions.
You’ll experience more of Thedas than ever before as your story
unfolds across meticulously crafted biomes and beautiful regions
including Rivain, Weisshaupt, Arlathan, Minrathous, the Deep Roads
and more, each inviting you to delve deeper into the narrative and
uncover the mysteries of the land.
- Fluid, Customizable Combat: Immersive combat blends
fluid moment-to-moment controls with tactical decision-making.
Players can fully customize their experience to fit their playstyle
with diverse skill trees among three different classes - Warrior,
Mage and Rogue - each with unique abilities and specializations.
Choose two companions to join you on your quests and unleash
powerful team combos that can change the tide of any battle. Make
strategic choices and direct your allies to fight, heal or stay out
of the fray with the newly-added ability wheel.
- Be the Leader You Want To Be: Dragon Age: The Veilguard
features a robust character creation system that allows you to be
the leader you want to be with a vast range of customization.
BioWare has created the most comprehensive character creator in
Dragon Age yet to make this story truly your own.
