It's been 10 years since Dragon Age: Inquisition last whisked us away to Thedas, but the impending release of Dragon Age: The Veilguard will at long last see BioWare's beloved RPG series return. The upcoming adventure will put us in the role of Rook, and introduce us to fresh locations, new companions to journey alongside, and another threat to face. Given that such a long time has passed since the last Dragon Age entry, the team at BioWare has emphasized that Veilguard will be a great entry point for newcomers, and added context will also be given as a refresher for anyone who's been away from the RPGs for several years.
Even so, the Dragon Age series is known for its rich worldbuilding and lore, and there are a lot of interesting details, events, and facts in the previous games that can be worth knowing about before you step into Rook's shoes. So, whether you're returning and looking for a recap, or you're new to the series and want to prepare for the next entry, you can find a helpful breakdown of the Dragon Age timeline and story, along with some useful lore facts that are especially pertinent to Veilguard below.
