"Dragon Age: The Veilguard Surprises Fans with Free Weapon DLC After Months"

BioWare has almost entirely shifted its focus away from Dragon Age: The Veilguard, but that hasn't stopped its dedicated remaining team from surprising fans with a new small DLC weapons pack. Dragon Age enthusiasts were taken aback when the RPG's Steam page was updated to feature the Rook's Weapons Appearance Offer, a free add-on released yesterday. Although modest, this update is highly appreciated, especially since EA had previously indicated that Dragon Age: The Veilguard would not receive much ongoing support. The fifth patch, released in January, emphasized addressing game-breaking bugs, making this new content feel like a delightful surprise, despite its limited scope.

The Rook's Weapons Appearances bundle is exclusively available to current owners of the game and those who purchase it on PC by April 8, 2025. While the bundle's contents are not explicitly detailed, players have discovered that it includes a set of Watchful skins accessible in the Rook's in-game room. It remains uncertain whether this offer will extend to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X | S versions of the game.

"Even if these appearances aren't the most, uh, beautiful things ever," one Steam review noted, "they do give spooky eldritch horror vibes!"

"It's cosmetic DLC, but it's essentially free DLC for a game that's practically no longer getting newer content," a Redditor commented. "I'll live with that."

Dragon Age: The Veilguard launched to positive reviews from critics in October but, according to EA, did not "resonate with a broad enough audience." Key members of its development team announced their departure from BioWare in late January, as much of the staff was either laid off or reassigned to other roles within the company. At that time, EA informed IGN that the studio was now fully focused on the next Mass Effect installment.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard was added to the PlayStation Plus March 2025 titles just four months after its launch. No further plans for its future have been announced.
