PlayStation Is Adding One Of The Year's Best RPGs Sooner Than You'd Think
Briefly

BioWare's latest game, Dragon Age: The Veilguard, will be offered for free on PlayStation Plus starting March 4, marking an unusual early inclusion for a major title. This RPG is a direct sequel to Dragon Age: Inquisition and features a strategic combat system. Despite its quality, CEO Andrew Wilson indicated the game's sales fell below expectations due to its lack of popular shared world features. The release on PlayStation Plus reflects both its disappointing retail performance and a shift in strategy by BioWare.
"It's unusual for big budget titles like The Veilguard to release on the service so soon after release. However, the game's disappointing retail performance is probably why it's coming to PlayStation users so soon."
"The Veilguard follows the player's team of seven companions as they look to track down and defeat two ancient gods running amok in Thedas."
"During its most recent earnings call, Electronic Arts CEO Andrew Wilson said that The Veilguard wasn't the sales juggernaut the company hoped it would be."
"The Veilguard isn't a perfect game. But its few shortcomings are the direct result of the storied developer having to pivot from making a live service game halfway through."
