What this game is

Dragon Age: The Veilguard is an action-RPG from BioWare (the creators of Mass Effect and Dragon Age: Origins), released on October 31, 2024. You play Rook, an agent who has to form a team of seven companions (the Veilguard) to stop two elven gods, Solas and the Evanuris, from destroying the Veil, the barrier between the world and demons.

The combat system combines dynamic real-time action with a pause and the tactical abilities of your companions. The seven companions are Lucanis (Antivan Crows), Bellara (Grey Wardens), Taash, Haran, Neve, Emmrich and Dorak. Each has a full story arc and a romance option.

The character creation system lets you choose appearance, voice and pronouns independently. The story takes place 10 years after Dragon Age: Inquisition; Solas (The One Who Waits) is one of the key characters of Inquisition. Earlier games are not required to get started.

Metacritic PC score is 80/100, with "generally favorable" critic reviews. The game is praised for the depth of its companions and its combat dynamics; series veterans criticize the simplification of RPG mechanics compared to Origins (2009). Unlike most large EA releases of 2023-2024, the game runs natively through Steam, without an additional launcher. The Russian interface and subtitles are official; audio is available only in English, French and German.

Who it is for: fans of Western RPGs (Baldur's Gate 3, The Witcher 3) and earlier Dragon Age games; players who like narrative action with well-developed characters.

The latest Dragon Age game from BioWare. Rook leads the Veilguard against the elven gods. Russian subtitles, no EA App. Action-RPG, 2024.
