The wait for Dragon Age: The Veilguard has been long, but now, we are days away from release.
So far, the critical reception of Dragon Age: The Veilguard has been overwhelmingly positive. Baldur’s Gate 3 publishing director Michael Douse has also praised it, saying it’s the first Dragon Age title that knows what it wants to be.
Why It Matters: Baldur’s Gate 3 was arguably the best game of 2023, and one of its executives applauding Dragon Age: The Veilguard is a positive sign for a developer who needs it to succeed.
Douse shared his thoughts on the upcoming RPG in a post on X, saying Dragon Age: Veilguard was compatible with his experience during Baldur’s Gate 3. The developer singled out the game’s combat system, saying it was a “giga-brain genius” mix of Xenoblade and Hogwarts Legacy.
More important, to me, it feels like the first Dragon Age game that truly knows what it wants to be.

Going on, Michael Douse lauded the narrative of Dragon Age: The Veilguard, saying that the character-driven storyline and strong combat made it better than your average action game.
The Baldur’s Gate 3 dev also compared the RPG to a well-made nine-season-long Netflix show and expressed happiness for developer BioWare, who have been through some difficult times due to the failure of Anthem.
Originally, Dragon Age was meant to be a spiritual successor to Baldur’s Gate, so hearing such praise is a full-circle moment. Dragon Age: The Veilguard is set to launch on October 31, 2024, for the PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and PC.
