What To Expect From Dragon Age: The Veilguard

Dragon Age: The Veilguard marks the first new installment in the Dragon Age series in ten years, bringing with it some clear transformations. The visual style has taken on a more cartoon-like appearance compared to earlier titles. Additionally, compared to 2014's Dragon Age: Inquisition, the game has been made much more streamlined, focusing on a few richly detailed locations instead of one expansive open world.

Despite any changes, The Veilguard remains true to BioWare's reputation for role-playing games. It features over seven characters that you can recruit, battle with, and even develop romantic feelings for. Additionally, some notable figures from the Dragon Age series, such as Solas and Varric, make a comeback.
