Dragon Age: The Veilguard is the latest installment in the open-world RPG series developed by Bioware.
Watch 20 minutes of gameplay from Dragon Age: The Veilguard in this latest video for the upcoming RPG. The video gives us a look at various characters and classes in action, including a level 1 Rogue named Rook, the scout Lace Harding, an ice mage Neve Gallus, and Varric as they take on demons during a mission to stop the Veil from being destroyed by Solas. The video also showcases dialogue options and how choices can impact your companions, the city of Minrathous under attack, a fight in the Arlathan forest location, a peek at the ability wheel during combat, and much more.
Embark on a quest to face powerful Elven gods and stop the destruction they’re unleashing on the world. You are known as Rook, battling on the front lines alongside a compelling cast of companions with individual storylines and motivations. In true Dragon Age fashion, companions are central to the experience and as Rook, you must rise up, rally your crew and forge relationships to become the unexpected leader others believe in.
In Dragon Age: The Veilguard, the Elven Trickster god of legend Solas wants to tear down the Veil that separates Thedas from the world of demons, restoring his people’s immortality and glory – even at the cost of countless lives. But his ritual goes awry, and his worst fears are realized, as two of his most ancient and powerful adversaries are released. They seek only to finish what they started millennia ago – the complete and utter domination of our world. Rook’s journey to stop these two powerful deities will span across all of Thedas to bustling cities, lush tropics, boreal forests, fettered swamps and the deepest depths, but be wary of the evil forces along the way like the Dark Spawn, Venatori Cultists and Demons of the Fade.
Dragon Age: The Veilguard is launching in Fall 2024 for PlayStation 5 (PS5), Xbox Series X|S, and PC (Steam and Epic Games Store).

00:00 [XBOX SOUND]
00:02 The home nurse is good at finding people as you claim.
00:18 She's the best damn detective I've ever met.
00:21 If she says she's got a lead on Solas, I believe her.
00:25 [MUSIC]
00:31 Should we be in more of a hurry to get out of here?
00:34 We don't want to look conspicuous.
00:36 Just get out of here nice and casual, find Nefgalus and stop Solas.
00:41 [MUSIC]
00:59 You still think you can talk him down before he starts his big ritual?
01:02 That ritual is going to tear down the Veil.
01:05 The only thing separating us from the Fade and an endless number of demons.
01:10 I have to talk him down.
01:12 [MUSIC]
01:18 Wait, but I didn't do anything.
01:20 [MUSIC]
01:22 Get down.
01:24 Are they after us? Is it because of the bar?
01:27 Word travels fast in Minrathus.
01:29 We've got to help her.
01:31 [MUSIC]
01:35 We don't have time to get arrested, especially...
01:38 [MUSIC]
01:52 Oh, crap.
01:53 We're too late.
01:54 The ritual started.
01:56 But if we hurry, we can still stop Solas before it finishes.
02:00 Let's go.
02:03 Harding's this way.
02:05 She'll get us to Dumat Plaza.
02:06 Watch out.
02:08 [MUSIC]
02:16 Is Solas summoning demons on purpose?
02:18 My guess is the Veil is weakening and they're slipping through the cracks.
02:23 And when the Veil comes down completely...
02:27 Then the whole world is going to look a lot like this.
02:31 [MUSIC]
02:39 Come on, this way. It should get us to Harding.
02:42 [MUSIC]
02:56 You're safe now.
02:57 Get inside and bar the door as quick as you can, okay?
02:59 Thank you, miss.
03:02 Harding, you all right?
03:05 I've been doing what I can to help.
03:07 The ritual must be weakening the Veil.
03:09 There are a lot of scared people out here.
03:11 And a lot of demons.
03:13 Haven't seen this many come through the Fade in years.
03:19 What about you two? Are you okay?
03:21 [MUSIC]
03:30 We're good, but we need to move.
03:32 Agreed.
03:33 Solas isn't waiting, neither can we.
03:35 Have you got my gear?
03:37 Right over there.
03:40 Where's Nev Galus?
03:42 Wasn't she at the meeting point?
03:44 The Venatori got to her first.
03:46 They grabbed her before we arrived and paid off the bar owner to keep it quiet.
03:50 I'm not surprised our detective did something to piss off a cult of murderous blood mages.
03:56 But their timing stinks.
03:58 The bar owner said the Venatori took Nev to Dumat Plaza.
04:02 Can you get us there, Harding?
04:04 Rook, you're with the Shadow Dragons. I figured you'd know Minrathus better than I do.
04:08 Sure, but Minrathus is huge, and this is nowhere near my neighborhood. I can try.
04:13 Don't worry. Scouting's my specialty. Follow me.
04:19 Shut up. We've got company.
04:29 Here they come.
04:57 I think that's the last of 'em.
05:10 Good. Let's get to Dumat Plaza and find Nev.
05:13 Patch yourselves up if you need it.
05:23 You are in violation of Imperial order.
05:26 I don't get it. If Solas tears down the Veil, doesn't that destroy everything?
05:30 Solas always talked about how beautiful the ancient world was.
05:34 That world existed before the Veil, and he wants to bring it back.
05:42 Even if his ritual kills us all in the process.
05:49 Venatori cultists!
05:54 I hate these assholes.
06:06 Looks like the Venatori put up a barrier to block the way.
06:11 More intruders!
06:13 Avenge our fallen brethren!
06:39 All citizens must remain indoors until the magical anomaly is fully contained.
06:48 Come on. Guess we're sliding down.
06:56 They're allies of Nev Gallus! Kill them all!
07:19 Barric death, Triss. The Venatori own these streets.
07:39 Venatori, take your revenge!
08:08 I'm not going to let you do this.
08:15 Barring. Harding. Not the worst timing.
08:20 Nev, it's so good to see you. We thought the Venatori had kidnapped you.
08:25 They thought the same thing.
08:28 A lot of Venatori in this city have reason to hate me. Figured I'd play along.
08:33 I'm glad you're here. I'm sure you'll be able to handle the rest.
08:38 I'm glad you're here. I'm sure you'll be able to handle the rest.
08:43 I'm glad you're here. I'm sure you'll be able to handle the rest.
08:51 I'm glad you're here. I'm sure you'll be able to handle the rest.
08:58 I'm glad you're here. I'm sure you'll be able to handle the rest.
09:03 We haven't got a lot of time. Barric said you had a lead on Solas?
09:07 You get right to the point.
09:16 I haven't seen Solas in person, but I did find hints of old magic, similar to what you get in Elven ruins.
09:25 I traced it to a building beneath Our Lady of Victory. That's where your man is hiding.
09:32 Then let's go, before this ritual he's doing gets any worse.
09:36 Worse? This ritual's already drawing more power than I'd expect from a dozen mages.
09:41 You told me he was working alone.
09:43 I also told you he was an ancient Elven god.
09:46 An Elven god. Well, whatever he is, he's causing trouble in my city. Let's go.
09:57 All citizens in the Canal District must remain in their homes.
10:03 [MUSIC]
10:17 Well, we're not in Minrathus anymore.
10:20 I know these trees. This is Arlathan Forest.
10:25 And there's your ritual. The power involved. I've never seen anything like it.
10:37 The tremors are getting worse.
10:42 And we've got demons.
10:44 [MUSIC]
10:54 [MUSIC]
11:04 [MUSIC]
11:24 I thought the demons were bad back in Minrathus.
11:27 The Fade's a mess this close to the ritual. No telling what could come through.
11:32 Does it feel like those tremors are getting worse?
11:35 Keep moving and try not to think about it.
11:38 [MUSIC]
11:56 We have to stop this demon quickly.
11:59 [MUSIC]
12:15 Watch the lightning!
12:17 [MUSIC]
12:45 [MUSIC]
12:55 [MUSIC]
13:05 [MUSIC]
13:17 How did a demon this large get through the veil?
13:20 It's a pride demon.
13:22 Damn thing probably sensed Solas's ego.
13:25 [MUSIC]
13:49 Everyone alright?
13:51 Good enough. Let's get to Solas.
13:56 [MUSIC]
14:24 Alright. I'll take it from here.
14:28 Are you sure?
14:29 Positive. You three just keep the demons off me while I talk to him.
14:33 Varric, Solas isn't going to stop just because an old friend asks nicely.
14:37 Solas needs someone to sell him another option to help him justify changing his mind.
14:43 [MUSIC]
14:51 Come on, Varric. We didn't come all this way just to talk to him.
14:55 He was my friend, Rook. I've got to try to reach him.
15:00 But if he won't listen to me, then he'll hear from Bianca.
15:04 [MUSIC]
15:08 More demons!
15:09 [MUSIC]
15:16 Rook, take care of the team for me.
15:18 [MUSIC]
15:27 Hey, chuckles. Hope I'm not interrupting.
15:31 [MUSIC]
15:47 Let's buy him some time.
15:49 [MUSIC]
15:56 I hope Varric is getting through to Solas.
15:58 We better talk fast. We can't hold these demons off forever.
16:01 [MUSIC]
16:21 [MUSIC]
16:31 The Veil is a wound inflicted upon this world. It must be healed.
16:36 By drowning the world in demons?
16:39 I have taken precautions to minimize the damage, Varric.
16:43 Minimize the...
16:45 [MUSIC]
16:46 People are dying right now. You need to listen.
16:50 [MUSIC]
16:55 Please.
16:57 [MUSIC]
17:03 People are always dying. It is what they do.
17:08 [MUSIC]
17:13 Shit. We need a better plan.
17:16 Do you want me to take the shot?
17:18 Rook, he's too powerful.
17:20 What if we disrupt the ritual?
17:22 How?
17:23 See those statues? If we break the scaffolding holding that one up, the whole thing will come down on Solas.
17:28 It's risky. Interrupting a ritual of this scale will have consequences.
17:32 And what about the demons? Varric needs us to hold them off.
17:36 Right. You two stay here. I'll bring down the statue.
17:39 What? No. Stepping into all that raw magic is suicide.
17:43 The storm could tear you apart.
17:46 Anyone got a better idea?
17:48 [MUSIC]
17:51 Fine. But you'll need backup. I'm with you.
17:54 I'm a mage. I'll go.
17:57 Either way, someone needs to stay back and deal with the demons.
18:00 [MUSIC]
18:10 Let's go, Hardy. Nev, keep the demons off us.
18:13 You got it.
18:15 [MUSIC]
18:18 Hey, you think you can get down the treadmill?
18:20 I'm glad you found me.
18:22 I'm not out to ask one question.
18:26 I'm out against the other kind of monsters.
18:29 Disaster.
18:31 I'm in prison.
18:33 And creating those demons.
18:35 Absolute disaster.
18:37 I'm going to stop you.
18:39 You're not getting better.
18:41 You don't need that.
18:43 [MUSIC]
18:45 Ascend your hesitance.
18:47 What's now must be done.
18:49 This is a plea passed to comprehension.
18:52 [MUSIC]
18:59 Why? Why tear down the veil?
19:02 Knowing all the lives it'll cost.
19:04 We shared a journey years ago.
19:07 Do you believe that I would do this if there was some other better option?
19:12 The pillar's weak, but...
19:14 It isn't falling. We need to push it.
19:17 I'm with you.
19:19 Together. Now!
19:22 You came a long way and made a valiant effort, Varric, but this story does not end with my downfall.
19:29 [MUSIC]
19:31 Push!
19:33 [MUSIC]
19:45 No! No!
19:48 [MUSIC]
