Effectively, the PC model of it randomly received a brand new DLC yesterday, seemingly with little or no fanfare.
This comes after the mix of all that behind-the-scenes stuff I simply talked about, EA saying the sport underperformed earlier than letting it drop on PS Plus without cost in fairly fast trend, and BioWare itself seemingly saying a elaborate Elven goodbye in some January patch notes had all left us assuming that the sport was very a lot finished with. On to Mass Impact 5, no matter which will seem like.
Effectively, as noticed by TheGamer, the Steam model of Veilguard abruptly received a contemporary add-on yesterday, March 20. It is a free DLC known as “Rook’s Weapons Look Provide”, and it appears to be like to supply some new weapon and shioeld skins that somebody on Reddit’s kindly put collectively a slideshow of.
“Rise as Rook in Dragon Age: The Veilguard.

There’s some hypothesis within the Reddit thread I hyperlink earlier that these items is likely to be stuff that was already in Veilguard’s recordsdata and has now merely been made obtainable, quite than being freshly-developed content material made by whoever’s left at BioWare that might nonetheless be assigned to the sport. The Dragon Age followers on there aren’t followers of those weapons/skins both, with one summing issues up by writing: “Right here, have a hideous knife and love us ceaselessly”.
