Dragon Age: Veilguard Surprises Fans with Free Weapon DLC After Long Wait

BioWare has largely moved on from Dragon Age: The Veilguard, but the remaining team hasn't given up yet, surprising fans with a new, small DLC weapons pack added to the game.

Dragon Age enthusiasts were taken aback when the RPG's Steam page was updated to include the Rook's Weapons Appearance Offer as free add-on content. Although not substantial, this addition is a delightful surprise, especially after EA had indicated that Dragon Age: The Veilguard would not receive much future support. The game's fifth patch in January had promised to focus solely on fixing game-breaking bugs, so any new content feels like a small miracle.

Curiously, 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. There's no detailed description of what's included, but players have discovered that it provides access to a set of Watchful skins available in their 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," a Steam review notes, "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, failed to "resonate with a broad enough audience." Lead members of its team announced they would be leaving BioWare in late January as much of its staff was either laid off or moved to other roles within the company. At the time, EA informed IGN that the studio had shifted to put its "full focus" on the next Mass Effect.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard joined the lineup of PlayStation Plus March 2025 titles, just four months after its launch. No other plans for its future have been announced.
