Summary

BioWare has announced that Dragon Age: The Veilguard has gone gold ahead of its release on October 31. Dragon Age: The Veilguard has become one of the most highly anticipated triple-A game releases of Fall 2024, next to Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle.
Nearly a decade has passed since Dragon Age: Inquisition was released in 2014. Since then, BioWare's reputation has taken a hit after releasing games like the poorly received Mass Effect: Andromeda and 2019's Anthem, its failed swing at a live service title. Mass Effect Legendary Edition, a 2021 remaster of the original Mass Effect trilogy, won back some of BioWare's detractors, but by all accounts, Dragon Age: The Veilguard is shaping up to be the true return to form fans of the once beloved studio have been hoping to see.
Every Dragon Age: The Veilguard Edition Explained
Dragon Age: The Veilguard ensures players get plenty of bonus items, whether they pre-order or purchase outright the standard or deluxe editions.
Ahead of its Halloween launch, a Twitter post revealed that Dragon Age: The Veilguard has gone gold, meaning that the game is finished and ready for its release. In the tweet, BioWare thanks the fans for their support and enthusiasm, providing a link to its website where players pre-order the game for any of its available platforms. The replies to the tweet are filled with Dragon Age fans celebrating and getting even more hyped for the game's hotly anticipated release.
Dragon Age: The Veilguard Has Gone Gold Ahead of Its October 31 Release
The most well-known case of a major triple-A game being delayed after announcing gold status is Cyberpunk 2077 back in 2020, which famously went on to release in a less-than-optimal state. Such a delay after announcing gold status seems incredibly unlikely for Dragon Age: The Veilguard at this point, so fans shouldn't have anything to worry about. The Veilguard shares its Halloween release date with another EA game, a remastered version of Shadows of the Damned developed by iconic Japanese developer Suda51 and his studio, Grasshopper Manufacture.
BioWare's new fantasy RPG adventure Dragon Age: The Veilguard is set to release on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC on October 31. In the meantime, BioWare has revealed plenty about the title, with gameplay footage and deep dives available for fans to enjoy as they wait for the exciting day. An eight-part narrative podcast series titled Dragon Age: Vows and Vengeance is currently ongoing, and fans can listen to a new episode each week until the game's release on major streaming services. The theme song for the game, composed by Hans Zimmer, has also been released.
