Update 15/8: After BioWare revealed that it would finally unveil the release date for Dragon Age: The Veilguard toorrow, an ad for the game has found its way to the internet early and let slip the date ahead of time – according to the video the game is slated to release on October 31st, 2024.

There’s still plenty of reason to be excited for tomorrow’s reveal, with a new trailer and presumably more information around release versions and other fun things. The Release Date Trailer is set to drop tomorrow morning at the following times:

Update 2/8: Aside from EA’s financials giving us a pretty solid two-month window of potential release for Dragon Age: The Veilguard, a new blog post from BioWare (that’s otherwise solely about the game’s recent SDCC 2024 cast panel) has revealed that we’re very close to finding out the actual release date.

“We’ll have more to share next month – including a new roadmap, more looks at the game, and our official release date,” reads a final note at the end of the post, which was published last night but dated July 31st thanks to time zones, meaning we can expect those new looks and the release date announcement this month.

Original Story 1/8: Although we still don’t have a firm date, EA’s latest financial release has narrowed down a more concrete release window for BioWare’s upcoming and highly-anticipated RPG sequel, Dragon Age: The Veilguard.

In a slide covering the company’s FY25 release slate, Dragon Age: The Veilguard has been listed for a “Q3” release. This is based on EA’s financial year which starts in April, so Q3 in this instance means it’s somewhere in the vicinity of October – December 2024. Also listed in the table in an “unannounced partner title” for early 2025.

Given that the game was slated for a “Spring” release when it was properly unveiled at the recent Xbox Games Showcase, we can also more than likely narrow this window down further to suggest the game is coming in either October or November this year –which isn’t much longer of a wait at all.

Bioware has been steadily dropping more info on The Veilguard since re-revealing it with the new title, including huge looks at gameplay and a recent announcement of the game’s main party voice cast. Here’s who you’ll hear when the game launches in a few months:

  • Ali Hillis (Mass Effect 3, Naruto), returns to the fray as Harding, the dwarven scout, a Dragon Age: Inquisition hero with a big heart, a positive outlook, and a ready bow – as well as unexpected magical powers.
  • Ike Amadi (Mass Effect 3, Halo 5: Guardians, Insomniac’s Spider-Man) as Davrin, a bold and charming Grey Warden who has made a name for himself as a monster hunter.
  • Jee Young Han (Perry Mason, Unprisoned) as Bellara, a creative and romantic Veil Jumper obsessed with uncovering ancient secrets.
  • Jessica Clark (True Blood, Pocket Listing) as Neve, a cynic fighting for a better future, both as a private detective and a member of Tevinter’s rebellious Shadow Dragons.
  • Jin Maley (Star Trek: Picard, Silicon Valley) as Taash, a dragon hunter allied with the Lords of Fortune who lives for adventure and doesn’t mind taking risks.
  • Nick Boraine (Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Black Sails) as Emmrich, a necromancer of Nevarra’s Mourn Watch who comes complete with a skeletal assistant, Manfred, voiced by Matthew Mercer (Critical Role, Fallout 4).
  • Zach Mendez (Horizon Forbidden West, Married Alive) as Lucanis, a poised & pragmatic assassin who descends from the bloodline of the House of Crows, a criminal organization renowned throughout Thedas.

And, of course, BioWare has confirmed that Gareth David-Lloyd will be returning as Solas, and likewise Brian Bloom will reprise his role as Varric.
