Summary
BioWare has released a new update forDragon Age: The Veilguard.Dragon Age: The Veilguardlaunched towards the end of 2024 and was released to mostly positive reviews. Unfortunately,Dragon Age: The Veilguardwasn’t embraced as warmly by theDragon Agecommunity as some may have hoped, with the game ultimately failing to meet EA’s sales expectations.
Dragon Age: The Veilguardsales weren’t as high as expected, which is disappointing, but that hasn’t stopped BioWare from supporting the game post-launch. There are no plans to releaseDragon Age: The VeilguardDLC expansions like previousDAgames have received, but the studio has released various patches to address lingering issues with the game. The latest, and potentially last, such patch is now available forDragon Age: The Veilguardfans to download right now.
The latestDragon Age: The Veilguardupdate has made a quality of life change so that players can now see recommended levels before starting side quests. This way, players will have a fair warning before they try to start anyDragon Age: The Veilguardside queststhat are beyond the means of their character. Besides this quality of life change, the newDragon Age: The Veilguardupdate is mostly focused on bug fixes, resolving various issues that have been reported since launch. It also makes “some adjustments to the game credits,” though specifics on that front are not available at this time.
It seems as though this may be the last of theDragon Age: The Veilguardupdates. In a message that came with the patch notes, BioWare included the phrase “Dareth shiral!” This translates to “safe journey,” which fans have taken to mean BioWare is saying goodbye toThe Veilguard. Future updates may happen if any game-breaking bugs are discovered, but BioWare is said to be “happy” with the game’s stability.
With work seemingly done onDragon Age: The Veilguard, BioWare is expected to turn its attention fully to the newMass Effectgame. ThenewMass Effectis expected to still be years away from release, but anticipation is still high. The new game is expected to continue the story whereMass Effect 3left off and will feature some returning faces, though the full extent of what the game has in store has yet to be revealed. Hopefully, now thatDragon Age: The Veilguardhas wrapped, updates on the newMass Effectwill come at a faster pace.
