Dragon Age: The Veilguard Promises a Bold New Direction

BioWare's latest installment shifts from open-world to mission-based gameplay, emphasizing narrative depth and dynamic characters.

The Veilguard's opening sequence is designed to be more dramatic than the finale of Inquisition.
The game will move away from open-world exploration, opting for detailed, mission-based environments.
Companion characters will have more autonomy, influencing the story even when not in the player's party.
The combat system will focus on action and skill-based mechanics, reminiscent of the Mass Effect series.
The central hub, the Lighthouse, will serve as the player's base for planning missions and interacting with characters.
