The 10-year wait for Dragon Age 4 is finally coming to an end, asDragon Age: The Veilguardis officially set to launch in fall 2024.

The news was announced as part of today’sXbox Games Showcasewith a teaser trailer for The Veilguard that introduces us to the cast of companions, with some familiar faces in the mix including Varric and Scout Harding. This comes ahead of afull 15-minute gameplay reveal on June 11.

The Veilguard has been a long, tumultuous time coming. Inquisition launched in 2014, and reports have suggested that development on a sequel began way back in 2015. The game was officially announced in 2018 without a subtitle - thename Dreadwolf was revealed in 2022, but that was officially changed to The Veilguard just this month.

Further reports would go on to suggest that the RPG’s development was rebooted multiple times, and a few days agoBioWareeven confirmed that one of the aborted attempts included a big multiplayer focus. Now, however,The Veilguard is “straight-up single-player story goodness.'

We knew that the RPG sequel was set to launchsometime during EA’s current fiscal year, meaning before April 2025, but ‘fall 2024’ narrows the window considerably. It’s also much sooner than anyone - or at least I - could’ve expected, given how little of the game we’ve seen up to this point.Leaked gameplay footage from 2023 with a surprising resemblance to God of Warhas divided fans, but it seems we’ll get a much deeper look at what to expect with the official reveal on June 11.

The Dragon Age series contains some of thebest RPGsyou can play today.
