Dragon Age: The Veilguard is the fourth game in BioWare's RPG fantasy series set in Thedas. Carrying on from the events of 2014's Dragon Age: Inquisition, Veilguard pits its new hero Rook against ancient elven gods. Like other Dragon Age games, The Veilguard is a world-saving adventure for Rook and their cast of recruited companions.

Our Dragon Age: The Veilguard review says it "nails the action-RPG pivot but falls short of the storytelling the series is known for." Our Dragon Age: The Veilguard performance analysis says it has "decent frame rates" and is "blessedly glitch-free."
