Mere moments ago, BioWare unveiled that the premiere date for Dragon Age: The Shieldkeepers would be disclosed later today. Yet, a leaked clip has already divulged that detail; as sighted by Wario64, the title is scheduled to make its debut on Thursday, October 31.

The pre-orders for Dragon Age: The Shieldkeepers will also commence later today. There is a possibility that the release may adhere to the recent trend of offering pre-orders for premium editions to gain early access, perhaps on Monday, October 28, but confirmation from the official source is still pending.

This news comes as a delight for RPG enthusiasts following the postponements of Kingdom Come: Redemption 2 and Sworn, both now lined up to launch within a week of each other in February. Another significant RPG in the lineup, Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2, is still holding onto its Fall 2024 release window, but this could change soon, paving the way for BioWare’s upcoming title.

The game developer and publisher EA have a series of impactful announcements lined up in the coming weeks. As per the recently unveiled roadmap, the forthcoming week will focus on a detailed combat overview and shine a spotlight on the PC platform. The latter revelation may potentially unveil a collaboration with one of the three leading hardware manufacturers (Intel, AMD, or NVIDIA). Subsequently, the week after will be entirely dedicated to companions, with a developer Q&A session scheduled for August 30 on the official Discord server. IGN will kick off its month-long exclusive coverage on September 3, with further media coverage anticipated throughout the month.

Dragon Age: The Shieldkeepers marks the fourth core installment in the fantasy series. It unfolds approximately a decade after the events depicted in the preceding game, with its storyline seamlessly carrying on from there. While the protagonist no longer embodies the role of the Inquisitor, players will cross paths with the Inquisitor throughout the gameplay.
