- Dragon Age: The Veilguard is set to release on 31st October, 2024.
- There are only over two weeks left before the game’s release, and yet it isn’t among the Steam top 50 best sellers.
- This indicates that the game’s pre-orders are really poor, and the fandom isn’t excited about this title.
After launch, Dragon Age: Inquisition became BioWare’s best-selling game, and it is no surprise why. This game attracted many new fans to the Dragon Age franchise, like Elden Ring attracted many to the Soulsborne genre.
The game sold over 12 million copies, which led to massive anticipation for its sequel. There was a lot of hype before Dragon Age: The Veilguard was announced, but it seems to have dialled down after the announcement.
There are almost 2 weeks left since the game’s release, and it is still not in the top 50 Steam Best Sellers list.
Why it matters: Dragon Age: The Veilguard has been the subject of much controversy, and fans think the game has become ‘woke,’ which is why so much hatred has developed.
The game is currently number 61 on the list, which is pretty disappointing given the game’s hype. At this point, it might not be able to reach the top 10 list before its release. Many games like Elden Ring, Black Myth: Wukong, Baldur’s Gate 3, and Final Fantasy 14 online are higher on the list.
However, there seems to be an improvement in the rankings, as a month ago, the game was nowhere to be seen. It wasn’t even ranked in the top 180 best sellers. It is also currently the 28th most wish-listed game on Steam, which is not ideal for a title that is supposed to be in just over two weeks.
The game’s previews were very positive, and a media outlet even called it a Game of the Year contender. Not only that but it was praised a lot by many others, too. However, the fandom didn’t really like the previews that much and claimed Dragon Age: The Veilguard to have gone ‘woke’.
Even after skipping microtransactions, it still couldn’t attract the fandom’s attention, which indicates poor sales ahead. However, we hope BioWare listens to the fandom’s feedback and improves the game so it can perform better.
What do you think about the game not even reaching the top 50 on the Steam best-seller list? Will you play it? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section, or join the discussion on Tech4Gamer’s official forums.
