On behalf of everyone at BioWare,

It's been nearly a decade since the release of Dragon Age: Inquisition. The Dread Wolf's ritual nears its apex and, with the release of Dragon Age: The Veilguard, we're thrilled to once again welcome you back to Thedas. It's been a journey - and one whose every step was only possible because of the support of you, our fans. We cannot wait for you all to experience this latest chapter in the Dragon Age series.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard is the culmination of the dev team’s love for the franchise and our shared vision for the game. Just as each of you have inspired us to do our best work, we now hope to inspire you through the journey you take within Thedas. We cannot wait to see the deeply personalized characters you’ll create, the inventive ways you’ll combat your foes, and the decisions you’ll make that shape your adventure. And of course we’re eager to hear of the relationships you’ll form with your Companions along the way. Perhaps the best compliment we could hope for is to hear how you made this game your own, and what it means to you, for years to come. - Corinne Busche, Game Director

When we stabbed that map at the end of Trespasser, we knew we were going to Tevinter. And we knew we were going to see Solas. The rest? Well, you know what they say about planning ahead. Dragon Age: The Veilguard has been the most incredible project of my seventeen year career, and I still can't believe we're finally getting to share this experience with all of you. These characters - this story - is going to make you laugh and cry, just as we did when we were making it, and it's been a tremendous privilege to get to be a part of this team. I couldn't be more proud or excited. - John Epler, Creative Director

Characters you love in stories worth telling - that's what BioWare does best. And you'll find no shortage of either in The Veilguard. What an adventure it's been getting here, with every single person who touched this game putting their heart and soul into making this game something special. So welcome back to Thedas, and from the bottom of our hearts - thank you.
