A Decade-Long Development
The journey of Dragon Age: The Veilguard's development has been a saga in itself, marked by numerous delays that stretched its timeline over nearly ten years. The project kicked off in 2015, right after the release of Dragon Age: Inquisition. However, the focus at BioWare shifted to Mass Effect: Andromeda and Anthem, pulling resources and talent away from what was then known as "Joplin." The initial design also didn't fit BioWare's new focus on 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 finally settling on its current title, Dragon Age: The Veilguard.
Despite the challenges, the wait is nearly over. Dragon Age: The Veilguard is gearing up for a launch on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S this fall. So, mark your calendars and prepare to return to Thedas sooner than you might expect.
