While Dragon Age: The Veilguard’s reception was mixed, its acclaimed designer has moved on to a new project that’s set for release soon.
While a decade-long gap between Dragon Age: Inquisition and The Veilguard may seem arduous to consider, the highly anticipated sequel finally emerged in October, receiving widespread acclaim yet not universally acclaimed by all. Are those of you who’ve been eagerly seeking a new experience similar to the original game aware that the series’ former lead designer and artistic director Mike Laidlaw is working on another title, with the added excitement of a confirmed release date? The forthcoming role-playing game, Everlasting Strands, bears a striking resemblance to the Dragon Age franchise, with its familiar gameplay and narrative tropes; however, its visual style diverges significantly from the gritty realism of The Veilguard, instead opting for a more fantastical aesthetic.

Fights incorporate a diverse array of elemental assaults that can be employed using various strategies, as outlined in a blog post on Steam here, allowing for creative tactics such as using ice magic to immobilize a large enemy’s wing by binding it to the environment.
