Jun 06, 2024 4:30 PM

BioWare has recently announced a name change for the highly anticipated Dragon Age Dreadwolf, now called Dragon Age: The Veilguard. According to the latest blog post, the game's focus will be on the player and their companions, hinting that the main objective will revolve around protecting the Veil, the magical barrier between the normal world and the Fade.

Players will be accompanied by seven distinct companions, each offering unique storylines and the potential for various relationships, a feature common in previous BioWare titles. The first 15 minutes of gameplay for Dragon Age: The Veilguard will be showcased on June 11 at 17:00, likely revealing a release date.

What is the significance of changing the game's name to Dragon Age: The Veilguard?

The name change reflects the game's emphasis on the player’s role in protecting the Veil, a crucial element in the Dragon Age universe’s lore. It signifies a deeper narrative focus on the mystical aspects of the world and the dynamics between the player and their companions.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard is set in Thedas, a continent filled with varied cultures, political intrigue, and powerful magic. The Veil, an integral part of Dragon Age lore, is a metaphysical barrier separating the physical world from the Fade, where spirits and demons reside. Protecting this barrier is crucial, as its disruption can lead to catastrophic consequences for the world of Thedas. By centering the storyline around this element, BioWare aims to delve deeper into the rich lore that fans have come to love.
