Dragon Age: The Veilguard PS5

Dragon Age: The Veilguard has a lot of expectations riding on it, and BioWare appears to be going all out to meet them, promising an ambitious RPG of rare scale. In fact, the developer says that the game's opening is bigger and more bombastic than the conclusion to 2014's Dragon Age: Inquisition, which was pretty impressive in its own right.

Speaking to Edge magazine (thanks, GamesRadar+), Veilguard director Corrine Busche described the game's opening sequence as being a particular highlight, throwing players headlong into the kind of situation generally reserved for a game's closing moments: "We wanted the prologue to feel like the finale of any other game we've done. Where it puts you right into this media-res attack on a city and gets you really invested in the action and the story right away."

Busche recalls the ending to Inquisition and suggests that The Veilguard's opening will be on another level entirely: "When I think back to Inquisition, how the sky was literally tearing open, the impact of [the] ritual really makes that look like a minor inconvenience.
