Exciting news for fans of the Dragon Age series! The upcoming installment, originally titled Dreadwolf, has been renamed to Dragon Age: The Veilguard by BioWare. This decision was made to better reflect the focus of the game, as explained by the developers in an interview with Game Informer.
- The core essence of BioWare projects is shaped during development, according to game director Corinne Busche. The shift in focus from Solas to a group of companions led to the name change. While Solas remains integral to the story, the spotlight is now on the companions. “I love Solas, but this project is about something bigger,” clarified Busche.
- Other key developers echoed this sentiment. Creative director John Epler emphasized that Dragon Age has always been about characters and companions, not just villains. General manager Gary McKay believes that The Veilguard will introduce the best companions in the franchise.
“We have seven unique characters, each with their own backstory and motivations. Your interactions with them will shape their stories and impact the main plot, even affecting battles.”

- Former executive producer Mark Darrah, now a consultant for The Veilguard, supported the name change, stating that it better aligns with the game’s content.
- Regarding Solas, players can expect more depth to his character in The Veilguard. Trapped in his own prison within the Fade, Solas forms a unique connection with the protagonist. Epler highlighted the complex relationship between Solas and the main character, adding layers to the narrative.
- Solas is not a typical villain in this adventure - his character is nuanced and multifaceted.
“The most compelling antagonists see themselves as heroes of their own stories, and Solas is no different. He views himself as a tragic hero and believes in his cause. Despite past conflicts, he must now collaborate with you to achieve his goals.”
