Electronic Arts bids farewell to Dragon Age: The Veilguard in its latest patch, which the company suggests may be its final update. EA expressed gratitude towards players, stating, “Thank you all for playing Dragon Age: The Veilguard; we were so happy with the game’s stability at launch and hope you have enjoyed our Quality of Life patches since then. With the game being in a stable place, we are moving to monitor for any game-breaking bugs should those occur. Dareth shiral!”
“Dareth shiral!” is an elven phrase meaning “safe journey.”
This closure comes shortly after EA revealed that the game underperformed, falling nearly 50% short of sales expectations. The timing of the announcement raises questions, but EA’s history suggests that titles that do not meet performance metrics often receive reduced support.
Fans have also taken to Steam to express both concerns and support regarding the update and the game’s overall reception, focusing on criticisms of the story and character development.
Quality of Life Changes
- Recommended levels added to side quests for lower-level players.
Bug Fixes
- Various bug fixes including quest triggers and armor issues.
Conclusion
While the future of Dragon Age: The Veilguard remains uncertain, this patch provides a sense of closure to what has been a tumultuous journey for this title.
