Dragon Age: Dreadwolf (aka the fourth Dragon Age) is now Dragon Age: The Veilguard, and we’re getting a gameplay reveal next week, plus BioWare is finally opening up about the overall direction for the game.
The announcement, along with some details plus an explanation of why ‘Dreadwolf’ was dropped, came via the official BioWare blog. Additionally, IGN has an exclusive, in-depth look at some story details and some juicy teases straight from BioWare GM Gary McKay.
“Each of the seven unique characters that make up your companions will have deep and compelling storylines where the decisions you make will impact your relationships with them – as well as their lives. You’ll unite this team of unforgettable heroes as you take on a terrifying new threat unleashed on the world. Naturally, the Dread Wolf still has an important part in this tale, but you and your companions – not your enemies – are the heart of this new experience,” the BioWare post teases. Maybe it’s because of the recent success of Baldur’s Gate 3 and its approach to companions, which, funnily enough, built upon what BioWare (and not just Larian) had done in past Dragon Age installments.
