BioWare has released the first official gameplay reveal for Dragon Age: The Veilguard, offering a 15+ minute look from the opening moments of its new fantasy RPG ahead of its release for the PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 platforms this fall. Fans who wish to discuss the game have been urged to join the official BioWare Discord server, which appears to have opened its doors today, while a roadmap has teased some of the events that will be coming in the days ahead, including a Q&A with the developers responsible for the game.
BioWare writes:
- “We know what you value the most is seeing the game as it is, exactly how you’ll play it. So, we’re happy to provide you with a look from the opening moments of the game.”
- “In this crafted character-driven RPG, you’ll visit meticulously crafted biomes and beautiful regions, some that you’ve only heard whispers about in Dragon Age lore, including Rivain, Weisshaupt, Arlathan, Minrathous, and the Deep Roads – to name a few.”
- “…the Character Creator [lets you] choose your class, lineage, gender, overall appearance and more. Choosing which faction Rook is part of will unlock different narrative, dialogue, and gameplay interactions.”
- “The game will support various skill levels, but at its core, Dragon Age: The Veilguard has fluid moment-to-moment combat where you can choose between three classes – Warrior, Mage, or Rogue – each having their own advanced specializations.”
- “Our new customizable ability wheel will help you turn the tide of battle at any time. It will allow you to pause the action, issue commands to your followers, use abilities, and unleash devastating combos.”
