This week, many players are excited about the release of Dragon Age: The Veilguard, a highly anticipated game set in the world of Thedas. Whether you’re a seasoned fan of BioWare’s RPGs or a newcomer to the series, there are some important things to keep in mind as you embark on this epic adventure. The Veilguard represents a significant departure from its predecessor, Dragon Age: Inquisition, so it’s essential to familiarize yourself with the changes before diving in.
One of the standout features of Dragon Age: The Veilguard is its character creator, which is the most expansive that BioWare has ever offered in an RPG. Players now have the option to select their character’s gender and pronouns independently, as well as the inclusion of top surgery scars to reflect protagonist Rook’s possible transgender identity. The game goes beyond just providing cosmetic options and allows players to actively declare their hero as transgender, with this aspect being reflected in the in-game dialogue.
In addition to Dragon Age: The Veilguard, there are plenty of other exciting gaming news and deals to take advantage of this week. For Nintendo Switch fans, there is a fantastic deal on new games that offers significant savings. The Pokémon Company has also revealed adorable plushies for its 2024 holiday line, perfect for collectors and fans of the franchise.
For those looking to get into the Halloween spirit, several game developers and platforms are offering special sales and discounts on popular titles. From Steam and GOG to PlayStation and Capcom, there are plenty of opportunities to snag some great deals on your favorite games. Warner Bros. Games is also running a Publisher Sale on Steam, featuring discounts on franchises like the Arkham games, Mortal Kombat, and Lego titles.
If you’re a fan of fighting games, Guilty Gear Strive is currently on sale for 50% off on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation to celebrate the release of its fourth season’s first DLC character. Despite the abundance of Halloween deals, this discount offers a great opportunity to experience one of the best fighting games on the market.
As the holiday season approaches, now is the perfect time to dive into new gaming experiences, take advantage of exciting deals, and immerse yourself in the world of Dragon Age: The Veilguard. Whether you’re exploring Thedas or battling it out in your favorite fighting game, there’s something for every gamer to enjoy this week.
