It seems Dragon Age: The Veilguard has reached the end of its updates journey, at least if we go by the latest patch notes. EA recently shared that while the game has managed to attract 1.5 million players, this figure falls 50% short of what they had anticipated. This discrepancy has led to the publisher deciding to cease post-launch support merely three months after release.
In the latest communication from Bioware regarding the patch notes for Dragon Age: The Veilguard update 5, the company mentioned that from now on they’ll only focus on monitoring critical bugs and issues. This statement has fueled discussions among players suggesting that this might well be the final significant update for the game.
The patch notes echoed this sentiment, stating, “We were so happy with the game’s stability at launch and hope you have enjoyed our Quality of Life patches since then. With the game being in a stable place, we are moving to monitor for any game-breaking bugs should those occur.” It certainly feels like a concluding update, although Bioware hasn’t officially confirmed it.
Here’s what the rest of the patch notes entail:
Quality of Life Changes:
- Side quests now have recommended levels so players won’t receive them at lower levels than intended.
