As we gear up toward the release of Dragon Age: The Veilguard later this year, BioWare is continuing to drop exciting new bits of information and new looks at the game that fans have been eagerly awaiting now for years.
The latest update is an exciting one for those of us looking forward to creating our very own Rook, the game’s playable and customisable protagonist, as well as meeting the cast of characters that will serve as companions and form The Veilguard itself.
It’s a pretty stacked cast, as well, with players’ Rooks able to be voiced by the likes of Alex Jordan (Cyberpunk 2077, The Amazing World of Gumball), Bryony Corrigan (Baldur’s Gate 3, Good Omens), Erika Ishii (Apex Legends, Destiny 2), and Jeff Berg (Battlefield 1, NCIS).
