Dragon Age: The Veilguard Dev BioWare Thanks Fans For Support

"Today is the big day for BioWare"

by Liam Doolan 2:55am

This week marks the arrival of BioWare's new game Dragon Age: The Veilguard and as part of the game's launch, the developer has sent out a message via social media to all of its fans, thanking everyone for making this moment possible.

You can read the entire thing in the post below, but in general, BioWare highlights how this game is apparently filled with "characters you love in stories worth telling".

Game director Corinne Busche mentions how this particular entry is the "culmination of the dev team's love for the franchise" and creative director John Epler described it as "the most incredible project" of his seventeen-year career.

Here on Pure Xbox our reviewer PJ O'Reilly thought Dragon Age: The Veilguard was "excellent" awarding it nine out of ten stars. The aggregate review score for this new release is currently in the 80s.

Will you be revisiting Dragon Age this week on Xbox? Let us know in the comments.

Good to see Bioware back at the top of their game, and wonderful to see this well deserved success ❤️

@LadyCharlie

Getting slaughtered by reviews from players on non-gaming websites. Based on the gameplay, tone and story, it resembles nothing like the previous entries.

Sorry but this obvious butt kissy tweet isn't going to win me over. This new entry lacks what was good about the old ones. The Mass Effect Andromeda of Dragon Age games.

Anyone who has actually played the game, is it true they have stripped back the RPG elements of the game and there's no real exploration?

There’s such a toxic cloud following this game around, it’s virtually impossible to discuss without having to filter out so many bad faith views on both sides from people who haven’t even played the game. I haven’t seen brigading on this scale in a while. It’s exhausting.

I look forward to giving this a go in due course and deciding for myself. Maybe I’ll like it, maybe I won’t. Though that’s no time soon as I haven’t got around to the Inquisition DLC yet and have a lot to play first.

@StaminanX every successive Bioware and Bethesda game strips back and simplifies the RPG elements sadly, this game is likely the same. Look at something like Mass Effect 2 which was brilliant but dumbed down RPG elements, same for Skyrim vs Oblivion and Morrowind. Despite this they were brilliant games.

@themightyant yeah it’s strange how ‘gamers’ latch onto something and berate it and so forth. Before long all their outrage will be moved onto another game…

@themightyant Hey that is fair enough. When you put it like that it doesn't make it sound so bad seen as though they were all awesome games hehe..

I'm enjoying my time with the game so far, I don't need to worry how well the game is doing for some confirmation bias thing.

Time will tell. I'm extremely worried about Mass Effect next iteration.... I personally think it's not the correct way to force people to listen like this at your ideas (wokism..). It's even worse when you create products for teenagers.

@StaminanX Its a bit lighter but definetly still there, I wouldnt called it stripped ,thats tooharsh imo. I am having a blast with the game so far. I was sceptic to the art style but now that Im actually playing I think it looks great. The mood is also real nice.

@themightyant I feel like that literally goes for any game these days. So I stopped listening and instead just buy whatever I find interesting. I only skip games if they have technical issues.

I really want to get in on this game, but I know my ADHD has trouble with games with a lot of cut scenes and dialog. It looks great, and it's nice to see so many people enjoying it and ignoring the toxicity. I will live vicariously on this one.
