It's been ten years since the launch of Dragon Age: Inquisition – and ten years since I've played it. Despite playing the entire trilogy to completion and quite enjoying myself along the way, I've forgotten more than I ever knew about the series, and it feels like BioWare is catering to people just like me with Dragon Age: The Veilguard. The long-awaited fourth entry in the series has to pay off over a decade of anticipation from hardcore series fans, while bringing back lapsed players like me and inviting in complete newbies at the same time. It's a tall task to try and satisfy all those audiences at once, but BioWare is doing everything it can to stay true to the series' roots while adapting to what it hopes will be a new wave of fans.
"Each Dragon Age is an iteration," creative director John Epler tells GamesRadar+. "We take what worked before, we see what didn't and evolve. And this one to us is an evolution of all those other Dragon Age games kind of pulled together into a perfect package."
