Electronic Arts has confirmed that the PC version of Dragon Age: The Veilguard will not require the EA App on Steam. This will please a lot of Dragon Age PC fans. A lot of EA games required Origin and the EA App when they came out on Steam. However, the new Dragon Age game will be a Steam native game.
The big question now is whether the game will require an EA account. Yes, the game won’t be launching the EA app when starting on Steam. However, we still don’t know whether it will require an EA account for online play. The Steam store page does not list an EA account as a requirement. Things could change though as we saw a similar thing with EDF 6.
In this new Dragon Age game, players will enter the world of Thedas, a vibrant land of rugged wilderness, treacherous labyrinths, and glittering cities steeped in savage combat and secret magics. Now, the fate of this world teeters on a knife’s edge.
Players will forge a courageous fellowship to challenge the gathering storm. Friendship, drama, and romance will abound as you bring striking individuals together into an extraordinary team. Become the leader and light the beacon of hope in their darkest moments.
Dragon Age: The Veilguard will be powered by the Frostbite Engine. In June 2024, EA shared a video featuring 20 minutes of gameplay footage from it. So, be sure to check it out.
EA and BioWare plan to release the game this Fall. And although there is no specific ETA on when it will come out, EA claimed that it will share more details about its launch later this Summer. My guess is that we’ll get a release date announcement at Gamescom 2024.
Stay tuned for more!
We’re making great progress towards our fall launch date, and can confirm early that #DragonAge: The Veilguard is going all-in on @Steam features!
⚔️We’re verified on Steam Deck.
⚔️We’ll be Steam native – meaning the EA App will not be required to play the game.Details on…
