After an advert managed to out the date early, EA and BioWare have officially dropped a shiny new Release Date Trailer for Dragon Age: The Veilguard, confirming that the game is headed to PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC on the very spooky date of October 31st.
Not only that, but the (excellent) trailer seemingly confirms a big return for a familiar face from the original Dragon Age: Origins and Dragon Age: Inquisition.
Slight spoilers ahead, maybe?
Yep, that’s Morrigan, alright, and it does look like she’s wearing a particularly interesting headpiece. Very intriguing, indeed.
Along with a release date, naturally we also now have pre-order info on the game, including details on the “Deluxe” edition of the game. Dragon Age: The Veilguard will retail for $109.95 as standard or $139.95 for the fancier version, which includes the below:
