Dragon Age: The Veilguard Is Already Proving To Be One Of BioWare's More Divisive Sequels
28.10.2024
Today, October 28, reviews went live for Dragon Age: The Veilguard. I reviewed it here at Kotaku, and despite being jaded toward the series for the better part of a decade, I really loved the long-awaited fourth entry. Right now it sits at a strong 84 on review aggregate site Metacritic, which...
In Dragon Age: The Veilguard, This Dialogue Option Lets You Declare Your Character Is Trans
28.10.2024
Dragon Age: The Veilguard’s character creator is easily the most expansive that developer BioWare has ever put in one of its RPGs, with its most notable additions this time around including options to select your character’s gender and pronouns independent of any aspects of their body, and...
Dragon Age: The Veilguard: The Kotaku Review
28.10.2024
I admit, I’d grown cynical. Dragon Age has a well-established penchant for swapping out protagonists with each new game, and for treating one entry’s be-all, end-all conflicts as little more than narrative springboards that can largely be cast aside in the next. However, with 2014’s Inquisition,...

27.9.2024
On September 25, BioWare revealed the choices that will carry over from previous Dragon Age RPGs in the upcoming fourth game, Dragon Age: The Veilguard. For the past decade and a half, the studio has largely positioned itself as, above all, a maker of games in which choices matter, and that’s...

Here’s How Your Faction Affects Relationships In Dragon Age: The Veilguard
20.9.2024
When you boot up BioWare’s long-awaited RPG Dragon Age: The Veilguard on October 31 and create your custom character, you’ll be asked what Faction your protagonist Rook came from before the game starts. As you’ll notice as you recruit new teammates throughout your journey, each of these Factions...
Seven Hours With Dragon Age: The Veilguard: Has BioWare Learned The Right Lessons?
19.9.2024
I have been waiting for Dragon Age: The Veilguard for 10 years. The last game developer BioWare put out was 2019’s Anthem, an ill-fated loot shooter that chased live-service trends and felt like a misuse of the team’s talents. In the years since, there have been reports and admissions from...
14 Things We Noticed In Dragon Age: The Veilguard’s Combat Showcase
24.8.2024
BioWare put out a 10-minute showcase video breaking down Dragon Age: The Veilguard’s action-based combat. Most of what we’ve seen of the RPG thus far has been in the early game, so we still didn’t have a strong grasp of what high-level encounters look like. There have been a lot of questions...

Here’s How The Mage Will Play In Dragon Age: The Veilguard
20.8.2024
Dragon Age: The Veilguard is taking a more action-oriented approach to combat than its predecessors. Early footage shows the sequel looking like it borders on a character action game, so as someone who plays a mage in every single one of these games, I was curious how The Veilguard was going...
Alien: Romulus: The Kotaku Review
18.8.2024
Good or bad taste is difficult to define, but easy to point out, and Alien: Romulus, from Uruguayan director Fede Álvarez (who famously delivered a fantastic Evil Dead flick over a decade ago), offers a bizarre mix of both. It’s clear that Álvarez wants to hearken back to the analog, tactile sci-fi...

Yesterday, BioWare announced Dragon Age: The Veilguard will finally come to PC and consoles on October 31. We broke down the 3-minute announcement trailer, but I had to restrain myself from getting too into the weeds. Yeah, theory-crafting is fun, but folks looking for a bird’s-eye view of what’s...
I Am Once Again Asking Developers To Stop Making Collector’s Editions Without The Game
15.8.2024
I have largely moved away from buying collector’s editions over the past decade, and so I was probably not going to buy Dragon Age: The Veilguard’s pseudo-special edition, called “Rook’s Coffer,” to begin with. If I don’t see something that I might actually use in the big box of collectibles...

After 10 Years, The Next Dragon Age Has A Release Date
15.8.2024
Fans have been waiting since 2014 for a new Dragon Age game. Dragon Age: Inquisition launched in November of 2014 and ended on a cliffhanger that still hasn’t been resolved. Well, BioWare has just announced the release date for the series’ next chapter, Dragon Age: The Veilguard, and it turns...
BioWare Explains Why You Can't Control Companions In Dragon Age: The Veilguard
8.8.2024
One of the most surprising aspects of the forthcoming Dragon Age: The Veilguard was the news that we won’t be able to control other party members in the action-RPG. A feature that’s been core to the previous three mainline entries in the series, its removal has left many wondering what is up. Well...
BioWare Wants Fans To ‘Discover’ If Dragon Age: The Veilguard Shows Hog
10.7.2024
We already know Dragon Age: The Veilguard will have romance and spicy scenes. That’s par for the course with a BioWare RPG in a post-Mass Effect world. But sounds like the upcoming game in the beloved fantasy series isn’t restricting nudity to when protagonist Rook and their chosen partner...
