A Decade in the Making

The development of Dragon Age: The Veilguard has been a long and complex process, marked by significant delays spanning nearly a decade. Initiated in 2015 after Dragon Age: Inquisition, the project, initially codenamed "Joplin," faced setbacks due to BioWare's focus shifting to Mass Effect: Andromeda and Anthem. Furthermore, an initial design conflict with the company's live-service strategy led to a complete development halt.

In 2018, the project was revived under the codename "Morrison," eventually announced as Dragon Age: Dreadwolf in 2022 before settling on its current title.

Despite these 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!
