There are no DLC plans for Dragon Age: The Veilguard
Dragon Age: The Veilguard creative director John Eppler told Rolling Store that the studio is skipping downloadable expansions for the role-playing game. BioWare has reportedly switched “full focus” to its current project, the next Mass Effect title. Eppler, however, did not reveal any details about the studio’s next game.
The creative director also talked about the possibility of remastering the first three Dragon Age games for modern platforms, similar to the Mass Effect Legendary Edition, which features an enhanced version of the original Mass Effect trilogy in one package. While he would love to see the Dragon Age games remade, Epler said it would be a difficult task.
“I think I’m one of about 20 people left at BioWare who actually used Eclipse,” Epler told the publication. “It won’t be as easy as Mass Effect, but we love the original games. Never say never, I guess that’s what it all comes down to.”
The first two Dragon Age games used a custom Eclipse engine, while the Mass Effect trilogy was built on the widely used Unreal Engine, making the remastering process for the Legendary Edition relatively smoother.
The next chapter of the Mass Effect franchise, which does not yet have an official title, was revealed in a teaser trailer at The Game Awards 2020. BioWare has not released any details about the game.
However, last week BioWare executive producer Michael Gamble, who is leading the team working on the next Mass Effect game, said that the next game in the sci-fi role-playing franchise will retain the mature tone of the original trilogy and have photorealistic visuals. style.
Dragon Age: The Veilguard launched on PC, Xbox Series S/X and PS5 and quickly rose to the top of Steam’s bestseller list. The game also became BioWare’s biggest Steam launch in history, attracting more than 70,000 concurrent players on the platform within a day of launch.
