For context, Dragon Age: The Veilguard is powered by the Frostbite engine. In the upcoming week, BioWare is expected to focus on the PC platform, possibly revealing collaborations with NVIDIA, Intel, or AMD. Here is an updated glimpse into the game shared by the developers today:

Step into the realm of Thedas, a vivid realm replete with unforgiving wilderness, perilous labyrinths, and opulent metropolises—imbued with turmoil and veiled sorcery. Presently, a duo of malevolent ancient deities has emerged from centuries of obscurity, intent on obliterating the realm. Nations stand at the brink of war, factions are splintering. Whom shall you put your faith in? From the Arlathan Forest to the shadowy lanes of Minrathous, this world is fractured. Your decisions will eternally mold the destiny of Thedas.

Gather a cohort of seven comrades, each possessing intricate lives and profound histories. These are allies to bond with and even develop romantic entanglements. Among them are an assassin, a necromancer, and a sleuth, each bringing their expertise and distinct capabilities to the fray. You stand not alone as you choose your battle companions and confront demons, dragons, and maleficent deities.

Select from diverse races and combat vocations, tweak your visage, select your character’s backstory, and embark on your odyssey as Rook, the latest champion of Dragon Age. The decision lies with you. Throughout your exploits, you will amass new proficiencies and unearth extraordinary, formidable relics to augment your combative flair. Ready yourself for weighty judgments, allies to inspire, and a skirmish necessitating every blade, staff, and bow at your disposal.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard is set to release on October 31.
