BioWare dropped the biggest Dragon Age: The Veilguard announcement yet on Thursday, revealing that the highly anticipated open-world RPG will be launching on Halloween, October 31.
This lines up with expectations from parent company Electronic Arts’ financials, which set The Veilguard‘s launch sometime in the fiscal third quarter, which begins on October 1 and ends on December 31. At this point, the game is on schedule, and the marketing campaign is only just ramping up.
You can preorder the game now, and receive some blood dragon cosmetic armor.
BioWare announced Wednesday that the release date announcement was coming, although a version of the trailer leaked hours before the actual premiere; it showed up on Streamable and was reposted on X (formerly Twitter) by Wario64. The studio also posted a reveal road map leading up to the launch that featured trailers, Q&As, events, and more that are scheduled throughout the rest of August. It does note that there’s even more to come in September.
The release date for #DragonAge: The Veilguard will be revealed TOMORROW!

Here’s what we have to look forward to so far:
This news has been a long time coming. The next game in the Dragon Age series was announced as being in development all the way back during the 2018 Game Awards, with a first official look two years later. The entry was formerly called Dragon Age: Dread Wolf before The Veilguard was revealed as the official subtitle earlier this year. We’ve already gotten a taste of character customization, the companions (who also starred in the release date trailer), and other very important elements, and there’s a lot more to come.

The concept is as simple as it is destructive: you plug your charger into the phone to nock an arrow, and you physically yank it out to fire. It is undeniably clever, bizarre, and almost certainly a terrible idea for the longevity of your hardware.

The hook is familiar, your choices matter, people notice, and consequences linger. The difference is scale. This is a fully open world take, with townsfolk on routines who respond to what you do, even when you think no one’s watching. It’s still chasing that mix of heroics, petty crime, and dry British humor, only with modern action RPG muscle.

Nintendo first teased the Talking Flower during a Nintendo Direct showcase last September. The company has now shared more details about the product, and confirmed when it will officially go on sale. Based on the flowers in the Super Mario Bros. Wonder game, the Talking Flower is exactly what its name suggests: a potted flower that speaks around twice per hour, delivering lines like "Sometimes it's nice to space out" or "Bowser and his buds can't get us here, right?"
