Dragon Age: The Veilguard Fans Can’t Believe the Release Date Trailer as 1 Shocking Character Returns
A returning character from previous games in the franchise has fans excited for Dragon Age: The Veilguard after BioWare's new trailer for the game.
- Dragon Age: The Veilguard is BioWare's sequel to 2014's Inquisition.
- While the new game makes many important changes to the franchise, a returning character from past titles has fans very excited to learn more about her adventures.
- With the new game set ten years after the events in Inquisition, BioWare could capitalize on the narrative possibilities that this character brings to the table.
BioWare fans who have been eagerly waiting for an announcement on Dragon Age: The Veilguard, the sequel to 2014’s Dragon Age: Inquisition, were in for a double treat as the studio’s release date trailer for the upcoming title featured a delightful surprise.
While The Veilguard is set to pick the story up from its predecessor’s excellent cliffhanger which sees the return of Solas, a former Companion to the Inquisitor, another character from the previous game appeared in the new trailer, leaving fans delighted to see her in action.
Dragon Age: The Veilguard Blends the Past and Future With Ease
While The Veilguard is set to take BioWare’s popular franchise in a bold new direction in terms of its gameplay with a new combat system and a graphical overhaul, it seems that the studio is determined to retain a few crucial elements of its overarching narrative in order to be appealing to long-time fans of its expansive lore.
That may be a smart move when one considers the response that CD Projekt Red is currently facing in its attempts to take its popular Witcher franchise into the future with a change in its narrative setup. BioWare seems to have found a middle ground from which it can attract new players while ensuring it stays committed to keeping its fans happy.
The new trailer is a showcase of that commitment with fan-favorite character Morrigan making a grand entrance to the game with a style that only she could pull off.
The Witch of the Wilds Makes Her Presence Felt
With Morrigan departing Skyhold in the aftermath of Inquisition‘s narrative, her son Kieran in tow, many players believed that her part in Dragon Age was at an end. However, considering her ties to Mythal, the goddess of love and patron of motherhood in the game’s lore, it seems that she is back to help The Veilguard’s new character deal with whatever BioWare has in store for them.
In the official trailer below, Morrigan’s presence has given many Dragon Age fans an extra reason to cheer for the new game’s release date and will undoubtedly play its part in improving its standing among players.
Fan reactions to Morrigan’s appearance range from surprise to unbridled excitement, showcasing her popularity among Dragon Age players – a metric that has been enhanced by Claudia Black returning as the voice actor for the character.
Another player chose an excellent quote from the character to showcase their surprise at her inclusion in the new game.
Another fan chose a simpler approach, but that does not take away from how Morrigan has seemingly made many a Dragon Age fan’s day by her return to the franchise.
BioWare has certainly played its cards very well indeed, keeping Morrigan’s presence in Dragon Age: The Veilguard a secret until its recent announcement of the game’s release date.
Fans of the franchise will certainly wonder what else the new title has in store for them when it releases in October this year.
