BioWare Confirms Dragon Age: The Veilguard Won’t Be a Live Service Game; Players Will Be Open to Romance Companion of Their Choosing

Following today’s announcement by BioWare that Dragon Age: Dreadwolf is now known as Dragon Age: The Veilguard, some might be assuming that this is yet another live service game from EA. Thankfully, we have confirmation today that it’s not.

Over on Twitter/X, BioWare Executive Producer Mike Gamble confirmed that Dragon Age: The Veilguard is not a live service title, but that it’s “straight up, single-player story goodness.”

Some takes out there about this game being a live service game or something like that.

That part is in the articles. It ain’t. Its straight up single player story goodness.

This is definitely good news to not only franchise fans, but those looking to sink their teeth into the Dragon Age franchise for the first time. Also, BioWare has been known to be a studio that excels in single-player games, and I’m glad to see they are not straying far from it. Of course, this doesn’t mean that the game won’t feature micro-transactions, as I think that’s a given for character customization and whatnot, but at the very least, fans can take comfort knowing that this RPG will be an RPG and not something else.

In other The Veilguard news that surfaced today, BioWare also confirmed yes, there will be romance in the game (how can it be a BioWare game if it didn’t, right?), and not only that, but players will be able to romance any of their seven companions!

This was confirmed by BioWare General Manager and Executive Producer of Dragon Age: The Veilguard Gary McKay in speaking to IGN.

“I won’t spoil next week’s reveal but I can say we’ve created a story where you can impact the world and the companions that surround you. Player agency is important to the Dragon Age: The Veilguard experience and allows each player to form unique personal connections with their companions of choice. And, yes, you can romance the companions you want!”

While it’s to be expected in a BioWare game, this at least confirms it 100 percent. Based on McKay’s statement, romance options won’t be an issue for members of the LBGTQA community as well.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard still has no release date but its gameplay reveal will take place on June 11.
