Okay, so you already know Dragon Age: The Veilguard – that sport that got here out, after which not lengthy afterwards a bunch of veteran BioWare devs who labored on it obtained laid off or transferred to different EA studios as a part of restructing at BioWare. Effectively, the PC model of it randomly obtained a brand new DLC yesterday, seemingly with little or no fanfare.
This comes after the mix of all that behind-the-scenes stuff I simply talked about, EA saying the sport underperformed earlier than letting it drop on PS Plus without cost in fairly speedy trend, and BioWare itself seemingly saying a flowery Elven goodbye in some January patch notes had all left us assuming that the sport was very a lot achieved with. On to Mass Impact 5, no matter which will appear like.
Effectively, as noticed by TheGamer, the Steam model of Veilguard immediately obtained a contemporary add-on yesterday, March 20. It is a free DLC referred to as “Rook’s Weapons Look Provide”, and it appears to be like to supply some new weapon and shioeld skins that somebody on Reddit’s kindly put collectively a slideshow of.
“Rise as Rook in Dragon Age: The Veilguard. This provide consists of Rook’s Weapon Look Set for all gamers who personal the sport on PC,” reads the Steam announcement that appears to be the one factor outdoors of simply randomly searching Veilguard’s Steam web page that is round to let you already know this DLC exists, “This provide is offered to gamers who buy the sport by April 8, 2025. The objects will seem in Rook’s Room once you log into Dragon Age: The Veilguard.”
So, limited-time and seemingly as a part of a proposal designed to encourage you to purchase or play Veilguard – which is on sale together with the remainder of the collection on Steam proper now – within the close to future. As an additional notice, the drescrption of the DLC itself offers a distinct date as to when you have to buy the sport by in comparison with that Steam announcement – it says April 9. Nonetheless, there is no publish on the official Dragon Age Twitter account about it or something on the sport’s web site below both newest information or sport updates.
VG247 has contacted EA for remark and requested whether or not this free DLC will even be coming to console.
There’s some hypothesis within the Reddit thread I hyperlink earlier that these things is perhaps stuff that was already in Veilguard’s information and has now merely been made obtainable, relatively than being freshly-developed content material made by whoever’s left at BioWare that might nonetheless be assigned to the sport. The Dragon Age followers on there aren’t followers of those weapons/skins both, with one summing issues up by writing: “Right here, have a hideous knife and love us endlessly”.
