Dragon Age: The Veilguard, the highly anticipated fourth installment in the popular series, has taken a unique approach to addressing arachnophobia among players. Unlike other games that offer arachnophobia modes, Dragon Age: The Veilguard has completely eliminated spiders from the game.
This decision was confirmed by BioWare community manager blackhairvioleteyes in response to fan inquiries about the absence of an arachnophobia mode. The news was met with a mixed reaction from fans, with some expressing relief and others lamenting the loss of iconic spider enemies from previous games.
While Dragon Age: The Veilguard may be the first game to completely remove spiders as a solution to arachnophobia, it is not the only game to address this issue creatively. Other games, such as Satisfactory and Grounded, have replaced spiders with more lighthearted or less intimidating alternatives.
For arachnophobic players, the absence of spiders in Dragon Age: The Veilguard will provide a more comfortable and enjoyable gaming experience. The game is set to release on October 31st for Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and PC, and early previews suggest that the series is making a strong comeback.
Overall, Dragon Age: The Veilguard’s decision to remove spiders demonstrates a commitment to inclusivity and accessibility in gaming. Players can look forward to embarking on spider-free adventures in the upcoming installment of this beloved series.
