Dragon Age: The Veilguard, after a tumultuous decade of development, has only managed to attract about 1.5 million players compared to 12 million for its predecessor, Inquisition. Despite this, it is a strong action RPG, marking a fresh start for BioWare as it shifts away from its earlier missteps with titles like Mass Effect: Andromeda. EA will offer the game for free to PlayStation Plus subscribers in March, raising concerns about potential backlash over this decision shortly after its launch. The game signifies a return to form for BioWare in a genre increasingly dominated by live-service games.
