That “ admirer ” of course of study is Solas ( played by the aforementioned Ianto fromTorchwood , aka Gareth David - Lloyd ) , the elf mage players welcomed into their ranks duringInquisition , only for him to ultimately reveal that he is in reality the ancient god , Fen’Harel — now seeking to furbish up the elves ’ previous land , at the cost of destroy the world as it exists .

We get to see a little more of that novel hero , Dragon Age‘s latest customizable protagonist , known as “ Rook , ” as well as some of the new associate Varric has enroll to his effort . There ’s some familiar face , like Varric himself andInquisition‘s Scout Harding – and even a surprise payoff by Claudia Black ’s mystifying mage , Morrigan . But apart from them they ’re for the most part entirely raw eccentric this sentence around . It earn common sense , believe it ’s been a decade sinceInquisitioncame out , andThe Veilguardis already portion out with enough linguistic context around the past games that it does n’t really need to betying itself even furtherinto plot of ground point from over a decade or more ago . Or at least , notyet — preserve that for in the nitty - gritty of the game itself , rather than the flashy unexampled trailers design to cue the domain that yes , indeed , there really is a newDragon Agegame come out again .
It ’s get a release date and everything!Dragon Age : The Veilguardhits PC , as well as Xbox Series X and S , and Playstation 5 , October 31 .
