It seems that Dragon Age: The Veilguard has reached a point of closure with its updates. Based on the latest patch notes, EA has announced that the game now has 1.5 million players, which unfortunately fell short of their expectations by 50%. This shortfall has led the publisher to cease post-launch support just three months after release.
Bioware introduced the Dragon Age: The Veilguard update 5 patch notes with a note of caution, indicating they will only be keeping an eye out for critical bugs moving forward. This has sparked a lot of talk among players, speculating that this might indeed be the game’s last significant update.
In their own words, the patch notes say, “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.” The wording certainly hints at this being the final update, though Bioware stops short of flat-out saying so.
Here’s a rundown of what’s included in the update:
Quality of Life Changes:
- They’ve introduced recommended levels for side quests that players might encounter before they’re ready.
Bug Fixes:
- Solved the issue where Rook was limited to flirting with Lucanis during a specific chat.
- Resolved the problem with "Regrets of The Dread Wolf" quest, which was either not starting correctly or blocking Rook with an invisible wall in the Crossroads area.
- Addressed a blocking problem with a puzzle in the Converged City section
