Dragon Age: The Veilguard is an action role-playing video game developed by BioWare and published by Electronic Arts. The fourth major game in the Dragon Age franchise, The Veilguard is the sequel to Dragon Age: Inquisition (2014). Set ten years after Inquisition, the game features new locations in the fictional world of Thedas for the player to explore. The story follows a player character known as Rook, who attempts to stop Solas, also known as the elven trickster god Fen'Harel, from destroying the Veil that imprisons amoral elven gods. Rook accidentally unleashes two of the gods, who wreak havoc across Thedas in an attempt to conquer the world; supported by companions and various factions, Rook sets out to stop them. Players control Rook from a third-person perspective and travel to various zones via magical portals known as Eluvians. Veilguard utilizes a "hub-and-spoke" world design unlike its predecessor's open world.
