After so long with nothing but vague teasers, it's a relief to finally see something substantial of long-awaited sequel Dragon Age: The Veilguard (formerly Dreadwolf), even if it is just a CG trailer. But I'm not sure that the vibes are quite right here.
Revealed at the Xbox showcase, the trailer wisely puts the focus on the new characters, introducing all seven of the sequel's playable companions in a quickfire barrage. We're off to a good start with the return of fan favourite Varric, looking fashionably grizzled and finally sporting the beginnings of a proper dwarven beard, though it seems he's an NPC this time rather than an active combatant, given the absence of his name on the official list of party members.
