A new trailer for Dragon Age: Guard of the Veil spotlights fellow Qunari Taash, as well as the heroic Grey Warden faction. Dragon Age: Guard of the Veil The trailer was debuted during Sony's State of Play broadcast on September 24, 2024.

Excitement is building for Dragon Age: Guard of the Veil as the October 31, 2024 release date approaches. With nearly a decade having passed since the last major Age of the Dragon release, many potential players might have The Veil of Guard as their first ever foray into BioWare's original fantasy setting. Even veteran fans have their concerns, such as how Dragon Age: Guard of the Veil takes up the choices of previous titles, as BioWare has withdrawn its original Dragon Age Fortress subsystem. But despite the concerns, attention is turned Age of the Dragon again for the first time in a long time.


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


Dragon Age: Veilguard's Blighted Dragon Trailer Shows Off Rook and Taash's Abilities

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


The start of the meeting also sees the Grey Wardens in a supporting role. The Grey Wardens were the focal point of Dragon Age: Originsbut have gradually been sidelined in importance alongside factions such as the mages and templars. However, the association of the resurrected elven gods with the darkspawn also seems to put the Grey Wardens back into play as a major force, alongside the Dragon Age: Guard of the Veil companion Davrin, who is himself an active Guardian.

Dragon Age: Guard of the Veil looks like a solid return to form for Age of the Dragon and perhaps for BioWare, whose recent problems (not least with The Guardian of the Veil) have been widely publicized. Its success could help cement a new chapter for the studio and revive a classic franchise for a new era.
