Unveiling Shadows: "Dragon Age: The Veilguard" Descends This Halloween

This Halloween, the gaming world will get spooky because BioWare has a new spooky epic in the offing: ‘Dragon Age: The Veilguard’, a game that is both hotly anticipated and shrouded in mystery and spookiness. After years of development, it was previously announced as Dragon Age: Dreadwolf. The title promises the fantastic with an edge of existentialism.

The Dawn of a New Era in Gaming

In collaboration with EA, BioWare has released the first teaser for ‘Dragon Age: The Veilguard’, an experience that will take players to worlds beyond, busting wide ‘the only line between the here and not’, and bringing the game into our reality on the date that suits it, 31 October.

Behind The Veil: The Story That Awaits

Underpinning this long-awaited manual is a saga that brings together a threadbare universe Varric Tethras – by now a name familiar to long-time fans of the series, recently resurrected in Dragon Age: Inquisition after his role in the starring part of Dragon Age II – is on a small job of unfathomable proportions.

Varric isn’t the only one; he wants to recruit a new hero, a Rook, and an oddball group of companions including the elusive mage Morrigan (voiced by Claudia Black) and Scout Harding, and others, to defeat the plans of Solas, aka Fen’Harel, the antagonist who looms large in the history of the world, but whose actions risk tearing apart time and space as we know it.

A Glimpse into The Veil: The Trailer Unpacked

In the trailer, a work of literature, we get a glimpse of the devastation. Solas, an elven antagonist who wants to bring back a lost civilization at the cost of our world, has emerged once again. It is a story of betrayal, of gods forgotten and awakened, and of a world on the precipice of the abyss.

The Herald of a New Dawn: Meet the New Hero

‘Rook’ is the name given to the player’s character in ‘Dragon Age: The Veilguard’ (2014) – he’s as blank as the protagonist in the game The Lone Survivor (2010), but more controllable. ‘Rook’ is an ethereal figure of mystery, a perfect instrument for the expression of the player’s will, a mythic hero in the prelude to apocalypse, around whom all worlds might well one day revolve.

The Circle of Companions

There are old faces and new ones, and every single one is a part of the story – whether it’s Varric’s determination or Morrigan’s mystery, they all fit together like pieces in a single overarching narrative. But it’s the new companions, each with their own history and their own storms, who will no doubt add new dimensions to a universe that’s already grown ripe with story.

The Stage is Set: "Dragon Age: The Veilguard" Launches

Plan your schedule accordingly: ‘Dragon Age: The Veilguard’ releases on 31 October, on PC and via Xbox Series X and S and PlayStation 5. Take a deep breath and step through. Review by Reiner G Hammer.
