While Dragon Age: The Veilguard doesn't drop until 31st October on PS5, companionship-starved fans can get a taste of the friendship to come in an eight-part narrative podcast series. The series serves as a prequel to the game and an introduction to its companion characters.

Dragon Age: Vows & Vengeance kicks off in just a few days, on 29th August, with new episodes following weekly after that, all the way up to The Veilguard's release. You can get a teaser of the audio action in the clip above, and it's pretty high-quality stuff. Each of the companion characters will make an appearance, along with a couple of characters exclusive to the audio drama. Cool!

We're quickly beginning to anticipate the upcoming Dragon Age game, thanks to some undeniably appealing trailers and gameplay details emerging. Can BioWare stick the landing, or could we have another Andromeda situation? Let us know in the comments section below.
