After final evening’s cinematic trailer for Dragon Age: The Veilguard which detailed the sport’s full suite of seven companion characters, in the present day brings our first – albeit very transient – glimpse at precise gameplay.
A brief clip shared to social media platform X reveals sequence common Varric in Minrathous, capital of the Tevinter Imperium area, a location now we have heard a lot about – however by no means seen earlier than in a mainline Dragon Age sport.
Varric is sizzling on the tail of Solas following the occasions of Dragon Age: Inquisition, although I think about issues will not be as simple as he makes out right here. Minrathous, in the meantime, or the short glimpse we get of it, seems to be suitably grim. I am getting darkish Ankh Morpork vibes.
The footage, and an accompanying press launch, confirms The Veilguard’s participant character might be named Rook.
“Dragon Age: The Veilguard options among the deepest companion storylines in Dragon Age historical past, navigating romance, tragic loss and sophisticated selections that can have an effect on relationships with gamers and the destiny of The Veilguard,” mentioned inventive director John Epler.
“BioWare’s storytelling roots shine by means of each chapter of this journey, and we’re extremely excited for Dragon Age followers in addition to these new to the sequence to expertise this crafted, character-driven narrative that’s so intertwined with our studio’s DNA.”
We’ll see rather more of Dragon Age: The Veilguard tomorrow in BioWare’s large gameplay reveal livestream. That is set for 4pm UK time – and you can watch it proper right here on Eurogamer.
