Dragon Age: Dreadwolf is no longer the name of the fourth game in BioWare’s fantasy RPG series. Now, it’s something that sounds way less cool and doesn’t roll off the tongue. The developer has announced that it’s going to be called Dragon Age: The Veilguard .
After rumours started floating around the internet earlier this week, BioWare confirmed the name change on its social media channels, where it also announced that the first gameplay reveal will be on Monday, June 11. In an interview with IGN , studio GM Gary McKay elaborated on the change a bit. The Dreadwolf in the original title references Solas, a party member from Dragon Age: Inquisition who turned out to be a surprise villain in the final hours and subsequent Trespasser DLC.
McKay says Solas will still be a major player in The Veilguard, but the title change is meant to put a spotlight on the companions you’ll recruit in the RPG. “One thing that’s important to remind fans is that every Dragon Age game is a new and different experience and this game, more so than ever, is about you and your companions – a group that you must rally to fight by your side,” McKay tells IGN. “We can’t wait for players to meet, connect and form their own personal relationships with the unique companions that make up The Veilguard.
That’s the spirit of this game...
of this story. Choosing who will join you on your adventure, fight alongside you, and be there by your side in the end.” Exciting news, #DragonAge fans!.
