Dragon Age has never had consistent combat across its games, and players shouldn't expect anything familiar with Dragon Age: Dreadwolf.
Dragon Age: Dreadwolf is officially being renamed to Dragon Age: The Veilguard ahead of its big gameplay reveal on June 11. In an exclusive interview with IGN, BioWare GM Gary McKay explained the decision while teasing new info on the story, combat, and more.
Dragon Age: Dreadwolf has been renamed to Dragon Age: The Veilguard.
Honestly, it could be called unicorns and faeries for all i care, as long as it's a great game, whatever.
Ha but i wonder if that anime they did on netflix that was suppose to tie DA3 to DA$ is still a thing with the new title and the main bad guy taking a back seat.
We will soon see what 11? years of dev time with all the members leaving some in a ambulance have come up with.
Will this me mass effect 4 all over again or anthem 2.0 hmmm
I just remembered there was that anthem 2.0 update
I mentioned those 2 games because everyone has seem to forgotten ea gave bioware as a whole lots of time and money to make anthem but all that was exposed showing how bad leadership was and they actually did nothing for the majority of there time.
This dragon age already has a name change we know its been in dev hell and we know ea has been giving them lots of cash so lets hope its not like anthem or mass effect rushed out trash. Well me 4 was "decent" atleast
You do realize almost everyone involved with me1 da1 is gone right?
Just put your gingers crossed it will not have live service garbage and or mt's
Heck so for 0 news of dragon age keep support
Yeah, Dreadwolf definitely sounds better and removing "the" would be an improvement on this downgrade, lol.
titles aside, I just hope it's gonna be good. Don't have much faith though
If this flops I'm afraid for the future of bioware.
Lets hope it was not changed because of a commite because Dreadwolf was too scary
Also why pink? oh boy
Dreadwolf sounds cool but it sounds like Warhammer 40K Sci-fi. Veilguard sounds more fantasy. I think it's better. Maybe it will grow on you.
15 minute gameplay trailer on June 11th, so a release date can't be far behind or it'll be at the end. Probably going with a 2025 Q1 or Q2 release.
Definitely. Inquisition came out around the same time as The Witcher 3 from memory. Very excited for the new game. Just hoping it's not infected with the modern gaming issues (GaaS, SJW, etc).
This game has been in development for six years dating back to 2018, and already got cancelled once before that. The budget on this thing must be huge to have been going on that long. There's no way this lives up to any expectations given the timeframe and how far BioWare fell off after Mass Effect 3.
You and everyone has seem to forgot the anthem debacle that also included this studio also its way more than 6 years because they were making dlc for da3 that tied into this game but then that got tied into a anime.
Just remember they had a huge budget ea gave them alot of time for anthem they did nothing for years then at that e3 reveal trailer the team was like what is that game? then oh ours??? followed by 1-2 year's of rushed dev work.
They changed anthems name so soon they had those old tshirts this game already did that step lets hope its not we worked on this version for 2 year here is your anthem 2.0 as in all the issues that game had.
The expectations surrounding Dragon Age: Dreadwolf can only lead to disappointment
Nothing can compete with Origins. Inquisition wasn't bad but the decisions I made didn't really seem to make an impact since I sided with the mages. I didn't get to wipe out the religious zealots.
It just seems they're sticking with the IP in name only.
I hope I'm wrong.
A lot of the talent that made Origins as great as it was, has also left at this point so yeah it will probably be Dragon Age in name only.
I hope I'm wrong as well because the franchise definitely has a lot of potential.
I would say anyone who’s been paying any sort of attention for the last 5 years has extremely low expectations of this game.
It's EA, at this point I wouldn't be surprised if you could find a McDonald's in the game world, as part of their in-game advertisements they were considering.
Wait, I already remember seeing Burger King billboards in at least one Need for Speed on the PS2, now that I think about it.
Bioware unfortunately have buckled under the weight of mismanagement and EA mandates. Apparently, EA has backed off with their live service mandates, so hopefully they had enough time to separate the live service aspect from the game. I just need Bioware to cough up one more legendary title before their run is over. However, due to the immense amount of talent they have hemorrhaged over the years, I think Inquisition was the end of the line. But hey, maybe the new Bioware will surpass the one that came before. Time will tell.
I don't entirely agree with this.
While we should always expect some kind of changes I don't see why we fans should accept any large departure that doesn't credit to what we have become used to. In a series, changes should only be being made if it IMPROVES the experience. Not for change sake, not for chasing trends. If DA:D doesn't have a full controllable party that is a very big minus in my book. All previous games have had this key feature.
With the latest Final Fantasy 16 also pulling this maneuver it would hurt losing another tactical party based rpg within the AAA space. FF16 barely felt like an rpg and i really don't want that for Dragon Age. If they really built this game without tactical party control then they should take the whole concept back to the drawing board.
There is still a lot of extrapolation and guessing here...basing an entire article off of assumptions made from leaks is gutsy. We don't know much of anything about DA4, much less what to expect from a tiny snippet of combat. I wouldn't get too worked up about anything here until we have some concrete information from Bioware. I'd would much rather have seen a competent remaster of DAO and an entire rework of DA2(keeping the original voice work and giving us actual environments that interesting to explore) over DA4.
Ultimately, we don't know much and while it's fun to discuss, it really doesn't mean anything because Bioware is giving us nothing(a mistake, imo). They'd be much better served giving us a glimpse and gathering feedback.
As well as drastically high disappointment
DA I will always be a fun time I had. Disappointed that it seems it won't be the same but improved
Translation: the devs know they are less talented than previous Dragon Age devs, so they gave up before even trying.
