Varric changed in the past decade.

You can finally see who'll be by your side in Dragon Age: The Veilguard. BioWare revealed a cast of colorful characters in its new trailer, and I can now understand why it changed the game's name to better fit the companions.

Every one of them has a rich story behind: there is a mage killer, a Veil jumper, a dragon hunter, and more curious personalities. But new faces are not the only ones you'll see: meet your old friend Varric and charming scout Harding (a lot of fans' favorite NPC and, it seems, a playable hero now) – you might barely recognize them, but they will definitely warm your heart.

"When corrupt gods break free from centuries of darkness, the odds will be stacked against you. You can't do this alone. 
 
Rally a team of seven companions, each with rich lives and deep backstories. These are characters to befriend, and even fall in love with. Among them, an assassin, a necromancer, and a detective will each bring their own expertise and unique abilities to the fight. You are never alone; decide who to take into battle and together face down demons, dragons and even ancient gods."

What we know about The Veilguard for now is that BioWare has tinkered with its combat system and introduced a new evil threat aside from Solas. We should see 15 minutes of gameplay on June 11.

The game will be released this fall on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox. Learn more here and join our 80 Level Talent platform and our Telegram channel, follow us on Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, TikTok, and Reddit, where we share breakdowns, the latest news, awesome artworks, and more.
