Dragon Age: The Veilguard Shows Magic Gameplay

EA and BioWare released a new gameplay trailer for the upcoming Dragon Age: The Veilguard. The video seeks a Mage class Rook taking on the ice dragon Corius alongside companions Taash and Lucanis. It is joined by a new Deep Dive that shows some of the character building options for the Mage class.

Mage is one of three main classes in the game — alongside Warrior and Rogue — and is able to switch between using a Staff for ranged attacks or an Elemental Orb and Dagger for close attacks. The trailer shows an array of abilities available to Rook, including the ability wheel, which allows players to command their companions. The example also shows the Primer + Detonator skill combo, with Lucanis using the Debilitate ability to apply the Sundered status, which can be denoted by Rook’s Dark Squall ability. It also shows Rook using one of the game’s ultimate abilities, Thunderous End.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard sees players control a new protagonist named Rook, who must fight back after corrupt Elven gods break free and wreak havoc upon the world. They will be joined by seven companions: Harding the Scout, Neve the Detective, Lucanis the Mage Killer, Bellara the Veil Jumper, Emmrich the Necromancer, Davrin the Warden, and Taash the Dragon Hunter. Dragon Age: The Veilguard will release for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S on October 31, 2024.
