A Decade in the Making
The development of Dragon Age: The Veilguard has been a lengthy process, marked by numerous delays spanning almost a decade. Development commenced in 2015, following Dragon Age: Inquisition. However, BioWare's focus shifted to Mass Effect: Andromeda and Anthem, impacting resource allocation and development timelines. The project, initially codenamed "Joplin," was even temporarily shelved due to its initial design conflicting with the company's live-service game strategy.
In 2018, The Veilguard was revived under the codename "Morrison." After further development, the game was officially announced as Dragon Age: Dreadwolf in 2022, before receiving its current title.
Despite the challenges, the journey is nearing its end. Dragon Age: The Veilguard is poised for release on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S this fall. Prepare yourselves, Thedas awaits!
