Dragon Age The Veilguard release time countdown PC, PS5, Xbox and pre-order bonuses

We’ve been waiting nearly a decade for a new Dragon Age to come out. Inquisition launched all the way back in November 2014, and now we are finally on the cusp of getting to enjoy The Veilguard. The release date and time countdown for when Dragon Age The Veilguard will come out on PS5, PC, and Xbox platforms is set, and there are pre-order bonuses available along with extras for purchasing the Deluxe edition.

DA4 was originally subtitled Dreadwolf, but BioWare changed to Veilguard earlier this year. It’s been a long wait for the game to materialize and trailers revealing incredible locations such as the world of Thedas has only gotten players more excited. If you’re a veteran of the series, BioWare has said there won’t be too many returning characters as they didn’t want to “cheapen” the experience, but don’t worry, you will be seeing more of fan-favorite, Morrigan.

The release date and time countdown for when Dragon Age The Veilguard will come out is finally nearly over, and we cannot wait to start creating our character and begin a new adventure.

Dragon Age The Veilguard release date

 The release date for Dragon Age The Veilguard is October 31^st. This is confirmed on the series’ official X account.

As mentioned earlier, it’s been nearly a decade waiting for DA4 to arrive as the last installment was Inquisition all the way back in November 2014. Despite the long gap between the games, there are Inquisitor choices you will be able to carry over to The Veilguard which include who you romanced, whether the Inquisition was disbanded or not, and whether you saved or stopped Solas.
