BioWare Studio’s General Manager and Executive Producer on Dragon Age, Gary McKay, published a blog post over the weekend sharing some new news around the next Dragon Age game, which has a new name. Watch the announcement trailer below:
In the blog, Gary reveals the new title Dragon Age: The Veilguard and provides background and context on their decision to change the name. We encourage you to check out the full blog post here (and below my signature) for easy reference and an excerpt directly below:
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.
So, to capture what this game is all about, we changed the name as the original title didn’t show just how strongly we feel about our new heroes, their stories and how you’ll need to bring them together to save all of Thedas.”
We proudly introduce to you Dragon Age™: The Veilguard.
Also, as promised on Dragon Age day last year, the team at BioWare has also set the date for the official gameplay reveal for Dragon Age: The Veilguard on June 11 at 8:00 am PT at the at the Dragon Age YouTube channel where they’ll be showcasing 15 minutes of gameplay from the opening moments of the game.
