BioWare Steers Clear of Dragon Age: The Veilguard DLCs, Shifting Focus to Mass Effect
No Plans for Dragon Age: The Veilguard Expansions
BioWare has officially announced that it has no plans to release downloadable content (DLC) expansions for its recent RPG, Dragon Age: The Veilguard. This news comes as a disappointment for fans who had been hoping for further storylines inspired by BioWare’s popular DLCs from past series.
A Shift in Focus for BioWare
In an interview with Rolling Stone magazine, BioWare revealed that its attention is now fully on the upcoming Mass Effect series. BioWare had been preoccupied with finalizing Dragon Age: The Veilguard, which took about a decade to complete. Now that the project is concluded, the studio’s next big focus is on restarting the Mass Effect franchise.
BioWare’s History with DLC
BioWare has a history of creating memorable DLC expansions for its games. Titles like Mass Effect 2’s "Lair of the Shadowbroker," Dragon Age 2’s "Leliana’s Song," and even the famous Awakening and Trespasser DLCs for Dragon Age: Origins are some of BioWare’s best-loved features. However, it seems that Dragon Age: The Veilguard will be the end of this string of expansions for the time being.
The Veilguard without DLC
Dragon Age: The Veilguard, however, offers plenty of depth and longevity for fans already. Estimates suggest that players could take anywhere from 88 to over 100 hours to complete the main story and side quests. This ranks it as one of the most comprehensive RPGs ever, even without additional DLC content.
Conclusion
Fans of BioWare’s RPGs can look forward to diving into Dragon Age: The Veilguard, with plenty of content to explore. While DLC is not on the horizon for this entry, the prospect of BioWare’s return to the Mass Effect series is highly anticipated. Stay tuned for more updates from BioWare and invest more time into the expansive world of Dragon Age: The Veilguard.
