Dragon Age: The Veilguard Pre-Orders Are Allegedly Really Poor

Expert Verified By

Showing Signs of A Botched Release!

Story Highlight
  • The pre-order retail sales of Dragon Age: The Veilguard are apparently really poor.
  • The rumor suggests that the RPG might end up with a botched launch if the numbers do not improve. 
  • It is set to release on October 31, 2024, for PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5.

Unsurprisingly, many players are curious about the new Dragon Age sequel set to release after a whole decade. However, the recent player sentiment is reportedly on a steep decline. It appears that even the pre-launch retail sales of Dragon Age: The Veilguard are turning out to be extremely poor.

All these pointers lead to a dark picture that suggests we might see another major botched launch this year—if the numbers don’t improve as the launch draws near.

Why it matters: Poor pre-order retail sales suggest that Dragon Age: The Veilguard is not going to see a spectacular release. The RPG could completely flop in active players and sales figures in the worst-case scenario.

The popular YouTuber Doctor Disaster has clarified in a new video that Dragon Age: The Veilguard is currently dealing with “piss poor pre-sales data.” The info was allegedly revealed by his source, who deals with video game retail sales.

“These ratios are correlating with piss poor pre-sales data.”

Dragon Age: The Veilguard has also sold poorly on Steam, not even making it into the top 100 sellers list like some smaller upcoming indie releases. These reports only suggest that the RPG might flop in active player count and post-launch sales.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard will have to sell in the millions and appeal to a massive audience to have a successful launch.

All in all, it is worth noting that the rumor—despite being backed by two different sources—has not been officially confirmed by BioWare. So, it is best to take the report with a pinch of salt.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard will be released on October 31, 2024, for PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. The general player consensus is currently mixed on the RPG. Some are looking forward to a modern incarnation of the franchise, while others are wary because it looks less dark and quite soft than past releases.
