A Decade-Long Development
The journey to Dragon Age: The Veilguard has been a long and winding one, marked by numerous delays that have stretched the development process over nearly a decade. The project, which began in 2015 following the release of Dragon Age: Inquisition, faced significant hurdles. BioWare's focus shifted to Mass Effect: Andromeda and Anthem, pulling resources and talent away from what was then codenamed "Joplin." Additionally, the initial design didn't fit with the company's move towards live-service games, leading to a complete halt in development.
It wasn't until 2018 that the project was revived under the new codename "Morrison." After years of dedicated work, the game was officially announced as Dragon Age: Dreadwolf in 2022 before being renamed to its current title, Dragon Age: The Veilguard.
Despite these challenges, the wait is nearly over. Dragon Age: The Veilguard is poised to launch on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S this fall. So, mark your calendars and prepare to return to Thedas, as the wait is about to get a whole lot shorter.
