Dragon Age: The Veilguard is a 2024 action role-playing game developed by BioWare and published by Electronic Arts (EA). It is the fourth major game in the Dragon Age franchise, and the sequel to Dragon Age: Inquisition (2014). The story follows a customizable player character called Rook as they prevent the elven trickster god Solas from ending the world. In the process, Rook accidentally frees two other amoral elven gods and must also prevent them from conquering the world. As in the game's predecessor, the player character is controlled from a third-person perspective, but Veilguard foregoes Inquisition's open world in favour of discrete levels accessed via fast travel and combat emphasizes a new combo ability system.
