Dragon Age: The Veilguard picks up the narrative threads left hanging since the release of Dragon Age: Inquisition in 2014, and the excitement surrounding the franchise’s return is palpable. This trailer has only intensified the hype by unveiling a diverse and intriguing cast of characters, including a familiar face. In addition to Varric, the beloved rogue, players meet his “old friend” Harding, a formidable scout with a powerful longbow, who guides viewers through the introduction of six new characters. 

The trailer reveals that these characters will be crucial allies in the journey through The Fade, the mirror realm linked to Thedas but separated by the Veil. Players will encounter Neve, the detective who will be their eyes and ears in the shadows, and Lucanis, the deadly mage killer armed with so many daggers. They will also meet Bellara, whose veil-jumping abilities hint at a unique connection to The Fade, and Emmrich, the necromancer who wields the dark arts against their foes. Joining them are Davrin the Warden and Tash, the fiery dragon hunter, all under your leadership as the player, tasked with guiding this diverse group through treacherous landscapes to uncover long-buried secrets.

The journey promises intense battles against demons and dragons and the ultimate defiance of the gods, setting the stage for the game’s release, teased for Fall 2024. Fans won’t have to wait long for more information, as a full gameplay reveal is scheduled for June 11, offering an exciting glimpse into what lies ahead in Dragon Age: The Veilguard.
