A Decade in the Making
The development of Dragon Age: The Veilguard has been a long and complex process, facing numerous delays spanning almost a decade. Development began in 2015 after Dragon Age: Inquisition, but shifted focus to Mass Effect: Andromeda and Anthem, impacting resources and timeline. The initial design, codenamed "Joplin," didn't align with the company's live-service strategy, leading to a complete halt.
The Veilguard was revived in 2018 under the codename "Morrison." Formally announced as Dragon Age: Dreadwolf in 2022, the game finally received its current title.
Despite the challenges, the wait is nearly over. Dragon Age: The Veilguard is launching on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S this fall. Get ready to return to Thedas!
