The game formerly known as Dragon Age: Dreadwolf has a new name — BioWare is calling its next RPG The Veilguard. In a blog post, the studio explained that the change was made in order to “capture what this game is all about,” as the previous name “didn’t show just how strongly we feel about our new heroes, their stories and how you’ll need to bring them together to save all of Thedas.”
The studio didn’t reveal much else about the game but did have this to say:
Each of the seven unique characters that make up your companions will have deep and compelling storylines where the decisions you make will impact your relationships with them — as well as their lives. You’ll unite this team of unforgettable heroes as you take on a terrifying new threat unleashed on the world. Naturally, the Dread Wolf still has an important part in this tale, but you and your companions — not your enemies — are the heart of this new experience.
But it won’t be long before we see the new game in action. EA is extending Summer Game Fest — which kicks off properly on June 7th — by a day, with a Dragon Age-focused event on June 11th, where it will show off the “official first look at gameplay” for The Veilguard.
