The new trailers for Dragon Age: The Veilguard have provided context and raised stakes, addressing concerns about the game’s quality and seriousness. There have been reasons to worry about the game, including the reduced presence of the original Dragon Age writers and early marketing efforts that failed to reassure fans.
The previous trailers had a tone that fans found off-putting, with light-heartedness and incessant quipping from the characters leading to a lack of excitement. However, the release date trailer has helped shift the tide in favor of the game.
It has provided a better understanding of what the game is truly about, highlighting the stakes, tension, character interactions, stunning environments, and intense combat, which have helped alleviate concerns about the game’s seriousness. Despite initial concerns about the game’s quality and dialogue, the new trailer has finally given the game a true Dragon Age feel, aligning with the expectations of fans.
It is notable that this trailer was not the opening trailer, but it has effectively addressed concerns and generated optimism for the game. The game, a direct sequel to Inquisition, focuses on red lyrium and the character Solas, also known as the Dread Wolf.
