Dragon Age: The Veilguard: release date window, trailers, gameplay, and more

BioWare has had a rough few years. Following the critical and commercial success of Dragon Age: Inquisition, the studio moved on to Mass Effect: Andromeda and Anthem, two games that abandoned the tenets of previous BioWare titles under mounting publisher pressure.

It’s been over six years since Inquisition, and although we know Dragon Age: The Veilguard (formerly Dreadwolf) is in development, it’ll be a while before we see it.

During San Diego Comic-Con, BioWare hosted a panel that was followed by a blog post where the community team wrote: “We’ll have more to share next month — including a new roadmap, more looks at the game, and our official release date (!)” Since this was posted on July 31, that means the official release date should be revealed sometime in August.

The beginning of the video also mentions next-gen hardware, all but confirming Dragon Age: The Veilguard will launch on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. Being so late in the generation, it would also be safe to assume it won’t be coming to last-gen systems too.

Otherwise, the video offers a few glimpses of
