Dragon Age: The Veilguard release date leaks
UPDATE: Familiar face returns in eye-catching new trailer.
UPDATE 6.45pm UK: This evening's big new Dragon Age: The Veilguard trailer has landed, confirming what we knew already - that BioWare's upcoming RPG will arrive at Halloween. Also in the trailer? Well, Dragon Age fans will get to see a very familiar face - we'll let you watch for yourselves and read more below.
Yes, that is absolutely Morrigan, the fan-favourite returning character voiced once again, it sounds like, by Farscape and Stargate SG-1's Claudia Black. It certainly looks as if Morrigan's clothing here is inspired by her mum Flemeth - which probably isn't good news.
Excited yet?
ORIGINAL STORY 9am UK: Dragon Age: The Veilguard, BioWare's long-awaited next entry in its fantasy role-playing game series, will launch on 31st October.
That's according to an early version of tonight's release date reveal trailer which has popped up online early.
It's been a long wait for BioWare fans - just a month shy of a full decade since 2014's Dragon Age: Inquisition - but finally the next chapter in the saga is only a month and a half away.
BioWare will officially date Dragon Age: The Veilguard tonight, in a trailer set to go public at 5pm UK time. From the trailer's title art, this looks to be a longer look - including a glimpse at some custom versions of the game's protagonist Rook - than the short video now circulating.
Yesterday, BioWare laid out a marketing roadmap as it ramps up to The Veilguard's 31st October release, which will include looks at the game's high-level combat and PC version next week, and a focus on detailing the game's companion the week after.
On 30th August, BioWare will hold a developer Q&A via Discord, meanwhile.
"Whisper it, but Dragon Age: The Veilguard has me thinking the unthinkable: it looks like BioWare is back," Chris Tapsell wrote, coming away impressed from Eurogamer's Dragon Age: The Veilguard first hands-on.
Check back at 5pm UK time to see what BioWare has in store within the game's official release date trailer, below:
