Although a considerable gap existed between Dragon Age: Inquisition and Teviun, speculation persisted that the two games might not be connected. However, BioWare remained confident throughout that a link between them was possible.
Ten years have passed in an unprecedented fashion for BioWare, marked by both triumph and turmoil. Following the widespread acclaim for Dragon Age: Inquisition, BioWare has only managed to release two subsequent games, Mass Effect: Andromeda and Anthem, which received mixed reviews at best, with some critics questioning the series’ trajectory. The industry’s sudden pivot towards live-service games in the late 2010s likely contributed significantly to this phenomenon? Soon, the eagerly anticipated Dragon Age series will finally welcome its newest installment, Dragon Age: The Veilguard. While understandable concerns may arise among fans regarding the potential connection between the original Inquisition and any subsequent sequels, it’s essential to remember that the game’s narrative is designed to be flexible enough to accommodate various story developments.
In a recent interview with Edge Journal, as reported by GamesRadar, BioWare’s John Epler clarified that The Veilguard was always intended to precede the events of Dragon Age: Inquisition. The fundamental nature of existence stems from Solas, according to Epler’s assertion. As a result of his distinct personality, he brought forth the universe. What makes Dragon Age truly captivating is its unique ability to draw players in with its richly detailed world and complex characters. Can all seemingly disparate threads of life reattach themselves to an individual who at one time believed they were making the most meaningful progress?
In an exclusive interview, Epler revealed that Solas’ crucial role in shaping Thedas’ destiny made it inevitable for the subsequent Dragon Age game to focus on his character. “We established that concept at the conclusion of Trespasser.” In a realm where our previous destination’s silence had been the norm, we dared not utter those four words: ‘And now let’s move on.’ “We felt compelled to honor our commitment.”
You’ve got it, no need to worry! You needn’t worry about BioWare reliving the mistakes of Anthem by incorporating multiplayer, as The Veilguard is already poised to learn from that experience. If a launch date is revealed at all, it’s likely to be no later than mid-October, although that remains uncertain.
