This morning saw the annual Xbox Games Showcase return, full of new game announcements, fresh trailers and updates for existing or already-announced titles and an exciting surprise or two.
One very exciting update came for the recently-retitled Dragon Age: The Veilguard (formerly Dragon Age: Dreadwolf), with a flashy new trailer that sets the game’s tone and also revealed a release window of Spring 2024 – which is surprisingly soon for a game that’s been pretty quiet for some time.
The trailer also introduced the game’s new companions, which are:
- Harding: The Scout
- Neve: The Detective
- Emmrich: The Necromancer
- Taash: The Dragon Hunter
- Davrin: The Warden
- Bellara: The Veil Jumper
- Lucanis: The Mage Killer
Here’s what Bioware has to say about the game:
“Rally the Veilguard and defy the gods in Dragon Age™: The Veilguard, an immersive single player RPG where you become the leader others believe in.
“When corrupt gods break free from centuries of darkness, the odds will be stacked against you. You can’t do this alone.
“Rally a team of seven companions, each with rich lives and deep backstories. These are characters to befriend, and even fall in love with. Among them, an assassin, a necromancer, and a detective will each bring their own expertise and unique abilities to the fight. You are never alone; decide who to take into battle and together face down demons, dragons and even ancient gods.”
A full gameplay reveal will be coming on June 12th, but for now you can check out the new trailer below:
