A new trailer for Dragon Age: The Veilguard puts the spotlight on fellow Qunari Taash, as well as the heroic Gray Warden faction. The Dragon Age: The Veilguard the trailer was revealed during Sony's State of Play broadcast on September 24, 2024.

The tension builds too Dragon Age: The Veilguard as the October 31, 2024 release date approaches. With almost a decade having passed since the last major Dragon Age release many potential players may have The Veilguard as their very first foray into BioWare's original fantasy setting. Veteran fans also have their own concerns, such as how Dragon Age: The Veilguard takes over choices from the previous titles, as BioWare brought back its original Dragon Age Keep subsystem. But despite the concerns, attention is on the way Dragon Age again for the first time in a long time.


BioWare took the opportunity to further promote the game with a new battle trailer that debuted at Sony's recent State of Play. The trailer showcases a battle encounter between the Veilguard, led by the player protagonist Rook, and a Blighted Dragon. It also puts special focus on Taash, one of the player's companions and a member of the unique Dragon Age faction known as the Qunari.

The trailer encounter shows a Mage Rook fighting alongside Taash and Lucanis to take on the corrupted dragon Corius the Icetalon, in an attempt to draw out the Icetalon's master, the corrupted elven goddess Ghilan'nain. During the fight, the player uses various ability combinations to harry the dragon and disable it, at one point slowing it down in mid-air. Since Taash is the only Qunari companion in Dragon Age: The Veilguard and also a dragon hunter, she also plays a crucial role, using her dragon hunting skills in coordination with Rook's magic and Lucani's assassination techniques.


The meeting also starts with the Gray Wardens in a supporting role. The Gray Wardens were the focus of Dragon Age: Originsbut were gradually sidelined in prominence next to factions such as Mages and Templars. However, the association of the resurrected elven gods with the Darkspawn also seems to put the Gray Wardens back into the picture as a major force, along with Dragon Age: The Veilguard the companion Davrin, who himself is an active caretaker.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard looks like a solid return to form too Dragon Age and possibly for BioWare, whose recent problems (not least with The craftsmans development) has received a lot of publicity. Its success could help cement a new chapter for the studio and revive a classic franchise for a new era.
