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.

-Michael Douse

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.
