Unveiling Dragon Age's Veilguard Characters
0The wait is finally over for Dragon Age The Veilguard, and BioWare has dropped some major details about what's coming our way. We've got the scoop on the release date, gameplay mechanics, and a deep dive into the main companions you'll be teaming up with.
First off, mark your calendars for autumn 2024 because that's when The Veilguard is hitting PS5, Xbox, and PC. While the exact day isn't set, it looks like we'll be diving back into Thedas around October or November, similar to Dragon Age: Inquisition's release.
In terms of story, The Veilguard picks up after Inquisition's events, with you taking on the role of Rook, a hero you can fully customize. The game's all about alliances and hard choices as you confront Solas and strive to protect The Veil.
Let's talk about the crew you'll be rolling with.
Bellara, The Veil Jumper, is a creative and romantic Veil Jumper who's all about uncovering ancient secrets. In the comics called The Missing, Veil Jumpers protected Arlathan Forest and crossed paths with Varric and Harding. From what we've seen in the reveal trailer, she faces adversity with a smile, even when being dragged back through a portal by a vine-like creature.
Davrin's a charming Grey Warden who's carved out a reputation as a monster hunter. The Grey Wardens are legendary for their battles against darkspawn throughout Thedas, so you know he's got stories to tell.
Emmrich Volkarin, from Nevarra's Mourn Watch, is making his game debut after appearing in Dragon Age lore and stories like Tevinter Nights. A skilled necromancer with thirty years of service, he's got a skeleton assistant named Manfred by his side—quite the duo!
Returning Harding from Inquisition, Harding's now a central figure armed with her trusty bow and some unexpected magical powers. She's known for her big heart and positive outlook, making her a fan-favorite for potential romances.
Lucanis Dellamorte is a poised assassin from the notorious House of Crows in Antiva. He's descended from a line of skilled killers and has his own agenda despite his family's legacy. An intriguing addition indeed!
Neve Gallus is a cynical fighter working as a private investigator in Tevinter. Her path has crossed with the Inquisition while investigating Solas and the Venatori, aligning herself with the Shadow Dragons to fight for a better future. Her sharp mind and determination make her a force to be reckoned with.
Finally, we have Taash, the dragon hunter allied with the Lords of Fortune from Rivain. She lives for adventure and isn't afraid to take risks, making her a thrilling addition to your party.

Now, onto gameplay. The recent Xbox showcase gave us an exciting peek into the action. It's a return to darker themes with a focus on these seven key companions. We saw early gameplay where you're tracking down Harding while facing off against Solas and defending The Veil. Combat looks intense, mixing melee prowess with rogue-like agility, magic spells, and strategic options to keep things fresh.
Overall, The Veilguard promises to be a classic Dragon Age RPG experience but with a modern twist, pushing beyond what Inquisition delivered almost a decade ago. BioWare seems to be pulling out all the stops for this one!
