This early announcement comes as fans were anticipating an official reveal later today. The game had been tentatively marked for a fall 2024 release, so an October launch aligns with expectations for a fourth-quarter release. However, the exact date was unknown until now.
The leaked video, which is approximately 20 seconds long, appears to be an advertisement likely intended for platforms like YouTube.?
It includes brief gameplay and cinematic clips featuring Varric and other characters exploring the in-game world of Minrathous and facing off against the antagonist Solas. The trailer also indicates a PEGI 18 rating, suggesting mature content.
BioWare had previously provided some insights into the game earlier this year, including the cast of voice actors and a preview of the gameplay. The studio has been working on The Veilguard for some time, and fans have waited for the next Dragon Age installment for almost ten years.
The official announcement from BioWare is still set to be released today, with a trailer scheduled to go live at 5 PM BST/12 PM ET/9 AM PT.?
The studio recently said it will share more details in the coming weeks, including high-level combat insights and a focus on the game’s companions. A developer Q&A session is also scheduled for August 30 on Discord.
Dragon Age: The Veilguard will be available on Steam Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation, adding to an already crowded release schedule for the second half of 2024.
