- Dragon Age: The Veilguard is finally being released on October 31, 2024.
- Like many other titles, it will launch for $70, but the PC version is priced at $60.
- A collector’s edition has also been revealed, but it won’t come with the game.
Dragon Age: The Veilguard is an upcoming RPG from BioWare that many people are excited about. The game has generated buzz in the industry ever since it was shown at this year’s Xbox Games Showcase.
After many rumours and leaks, a release date for the RPG was finally announced. Since then, EA and BioWare have also shared more information. According to the latest details, the game won’t cost the same for consoles and PCs.
Why it matters: AAA releases have begun to cost more and more with time, so having different price tags on different platforms can prove to be controversial.
The official EA blog confirmed that the RPG will finally be released on October 31. However, more information was revealed, such as the different editions and their prices.
Dragon Age: The Veilguard’s collector’s edition costs $150. While this price isn’t incredibly high as far as collector’s editions go, the package does not include the game itself. This came as a surprise to many fans.
However, what fans found even more surprising was the fact that this RPG costs more on consoles. If you want to buy the game on Xbox Series S|X or PS5, then you would have to pay $70.
On the other hand, PC users can enjoy the latest Dragon Age entry for just $60, and BioWare has yet to share any explanation for this discrepancy. Considering the fact that PC ports hold the potential to be the best version of any given release, this price difference is not a small deal.
Here’s hoping that the $10 discount doesn’t translate to a poor port. The gaming industry has already seen enough of those in recent years, so fans are hoping Dragon Age: The Veilguard won’t repeat this mistake.
Regardless of the price difference, many fans are still excited about the RPG. There seems to be a lot to like here since BioWare is skipping microtransactions and battle passes. The team is also bringing twice as many characters as the last Dragon Age entry, leading to plenty of buzz ahead of release.
