Dragon Age The Veilguard’s global launch on PS5, Xbox Series X | S, and PC is right around the corner, and if you are eager to play the game on launch, my guide on Dragon Age The Veilguard release, and unlock time, countdown, date, system requirements, and early access details will cover everything you need to learn before launch.
The Veilguard is the fourth major installment in the Dragon Age franchise and a direct sequel to Dragon Age Inquisition.
It introduces a brand new protagonist, The Rook, along with a completely new multi-layered combat and party system.
Moreover, unlike the previous entries, Dragon Age The Veilguard is not an open-world game but offers large open areas with a more linear story.
While some players are still skeptical about the major changes and new direction the franchise is heading in, there is no doubt that many of us are still interested in playing the game.
So, without further ado, let us check out everything you should know about Dragon Age The Veilguard’s official release.
Dragon Age The Veilguard release date, time, and preload
The Veilguard will officially release on October 31, 2024, on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox platforms.
At the time of writing, EA has not yet shared the exact release time for the game.
So, for now, I am assuming the game will be released at midnight local time. But that is for consoles.
When it comes to PC, if the game does not get a specific unlock time, we can expect Dragon Age The Veilguard to unlock at 10 a.m. PT.
When will Dragon Age The Veilguard preload start?
Dragon Age The Veilguard preload on PC and consoles will start on October 29, 2024.
