Okay, so you realize Dragon Age: The Veilguard – that recreation that got here out, after which not lengthy afterwards a bunch of veteran BioWare devs who labored on it bought laid off or transferred to different EA studios as a part of restructing at BioWare. Nicely, the PC model of it randomly bought a brand new DLC yesterday, seemingly with little or no fanfare.
This comes after the mix of all that behind-the-scenes stuff I simply talked about, EA saying the game underperformed earlier than letting it drop on PS Plus for free in fairly fast style, and BioWare itself seemingly saying a fancy Elven goodbye in some January patch notes had all left us assuming that the sport was very a lot completed with. On to Mass Effect 5, no matter that will seem like.
Nicely, as noticed by TheGamer, the Steam model of Veilguard immediately bought a contemporary add-on yesterday, March 20. It is a free DLC referred to as “Rook’s Weapons Appearance Offer“, and it appears to supply some new weapon and shioeld skins that somebody on Reddit’s kindly put collectively a slideshow of.
“Rise as Rook in Dragon Age: The Veilguard. This supply consists of Rook’s Weapon Look Set for all gamers who personal the sport on PC,” reads the Steam announcement that appears to be the one factor outdoors of simply randomly searching Veilguard’s Steam web page that is round to let you realize this DLC exists, “This supply is out there to gamers who buy the sport by April 8, 2025. The gadgets will seem in Rook’s Room once you log into Dragon Age: The Veilguard.”
So, limited-time and seemingly as a part of a suggestion designed to encourage you to purchase or play Veilguard – which is on sale together with the remainder of the collection on Steam proper now – within the close to future. As an additional notice, the drescrption of the DLC itself provides a unique date as to when you have to buy the sport by in comparison with that Steam announcement – it says April 9. Nonetheless, there is no submit on the official Dragon Age Twitter account about it or something on the game’s website underneath both newest information or recreation updates.
VG247 has contacted EA for remark and requested whether or not this free DLC may also be coming to console.
There’s some hypothesis within the Reddit thread I hyperlink earlier that these things may be stuff that was already in Veilguard’s information and has now merely been made out there, moderately than being freshly-developed content material made by whoever’s left at BioWare that might nonetheless be assigned to the sport. The Dragon Age followers on there aren’t followers of those weapons/skins both, with one summing issues up by writing: “Right here, have a hideous knife and love us without end”.
