Dragon Age: The Veilguard Release Date Seemingly Leaked

The fourth Dragon Age game will apparently release in October.

After what feels like an eternity of the fandom begging for a release roadmap and release date for Dragon Age: The Veilguard, BioWare was supposed to unveil (ha) the newest trailer for the fourth game in the decades old franchise, setting the game's release date. However, it seems to have leaked a few hours ahead of time, and the game is apparently coming on October 31st. We'll know for sure at 9 a.m. PT when the new trailer drops, but this leak apparently comes from an ad for the game, and seems to be fairly legitimate (thanks @Wario64). 

Dragon Age: The Veilguard Upcoming Reveals

When BioWare announced they'd release a new trailer for The Veilguard today, the studio also shared a roadmap for additional reveals that are come in the following weeks. The roadmap includes the following key dates:

  • Week of August 19th: High-level combat and player creator spotlight
  • Week of August 26th: Companions Week
  • August 30th: Developer Discord Q&A
  • September 3rd: IGN First month-long coverage begins
  • September ?: Much more to come in September and beyond

While all of the above dates are exciting, the two that have Dragon Age fans already planning on experiencing the game for themselves this fall buzzing are the weeks remaining this month, as August clearly has a lot to offer. For the week of August 19th, players will not only get an additional look at what the updated combat system looks like at higher levels in The Veilguard – the curtain is going to be pulled back a bit on the highly anticipated character creator. Before Game Informer was disappointingly closed and had years of work erased from online, their cover story for The Veilguard was an excellent source of information for the character creator, which sounds to be the most in-depth and option-filled creator from BioWare thus far. Additionally, during the previous Discord developer Q&A session, game director Corrine Busche also confirmed that players would see the Dragon Age: The Veilguard character creator ahead of the game's release, so it's possible this is the week Dragon Age fans will also know the date they can begin creating the perfect Rook (player character) ahead of time. 

As for the following week, an undisputed draw to The Veilguard is its various companions, as players have been selecting their romance partner for the upcoming game since the trailer that first showcased them back in June. Given the amount of companions and the face that the developers consistently refer to them as their most complex companions yet across all of their previous releases, it's possible BioWare has something special to share for each member of The Veilguard throughout the week – though this is purely speculation and we'll have to wait a bit longer to see what BioWare has planned for the week of August 26th.
