A Long and Winding Road: A Decade of Development
The development of Dragon Age: The Veilguard has been a lengthy process, facing multiple delays spanning almost a decade. Initially starting in 2015 after Dragon Age: Inquisition, the project, then codenamed "Joplin," was sidetracked due to BioWare's focus on Mass Effect: Andromeda and Anthem. Further complicating matters, the original design didn't align with the company's shift towards live-service games, leading to a complete development halt.
In 2018, the project was revived under the codename "Morrison." After years of further development, it was officially announced as Dragon Age: Dreadwolf in 2022 before settling on its current title.
Despite the setbacks, the wait is nearly over. Dragon Age: The Veilguard is launching this fall on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. Get ready – your journey to Thedas is about to begin!
