A Decade in the Making
Dragon Age: The Veilguard's development journey has been lengthy and complex, marked by significant delays spanning almost a decade. Development began in 2015, post-Dragon Age: Inquisition. However, BioWare's focus shifted to Mass Effect: Andromeda and Anthem, resulting in resource reallocation and a pause in the project (then codenamed "Joplin"). The initial design's incompatibility with the company's live-service strategy led to a complete development halt.
The project was revived in 2018 under the codename "Morrison." Formally announced as Dragon Age: Dreadwolf in 2022, it eventually adopted its current title.
Despite the challenges, the game is poised to launch on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S this fall. The wait for Thedas is almost over!
