A Decade in the Making
The development of Dragon Age: The Veilguard has been a lengthy process, facing multiple delays spanning nearly a decade. Development started in 2015 after Dragon Age: Inquisition, but was impacted by BioWare's focus on Mass Effect: Andromeda and Anthem, leading to resource reallocation and a complete halt due to design conflicts with the company's live-service strategy.
Revived in 2018 under the codename "Morrison," the game was formally announced as Dragon Age: Dreadwolf in 2022 before settling on its current title.
Despite the challenges, the journey is nearing its end. Dragon Age: The Veilguard is slated for release on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S this fall. Prepare yourselves, Thedas awaits!
