Dragon Age: The Veilguard is releasing October 31st, and the latest trailer shown off during Sony's State of Play is action-packed.

The game is already Steam Deck Verified with Valve's Proton, so it should hopefully work well. That goes for Desktop Linux too. If it's verified on the Deck, your chosen desktop Linux distribution should be good to go too. That is, unless it needs some silly launch option like God of War Ragnarök.

The latest trailer is mostly a big dragon fight, and exactly what I wanted to see from it, check it out below:

More about it:

Enter Thedas, a vibrant world of rugged wilderness, treacherous labyrinths, and glittering cities. The world is teetering on a knife’s edge while corrupt gods unleash havoc across the continent. Nations war, and factions splinter. Who will you trust? From the Arlathan Forest to the back alleys of Minrathous, this is a broken world. Your actions will affect the fate of Thedas forever.

  • Dramatic Single-Player Campaign — When corrupt Elven Gods threaten Thedas, lead the charge to save it. Rook isn’t afraid of a fight, no matter the odds. No matter the cost.
  • Vibrant & Diverse Environments — Enter a vivid fantasy world, and experience imaginative new locations as well as some you’ve heard of but never seen.
  • Larger-than-life Foes — Battle darkspawn, demons from beyond the Veil, dragons that rule the skies, and unique enemies as you advance your quest and fight for Thedas’s future.

You can pre-purchase on Steam.

All the DA4 characters look (inc animations/colour/etc) like they came from some version of Fable.

I wish this company was capable of DA:I again, obviously DAI is dated, and rusty but if it was updated with smoother mechanics and less jank, it be 100x better then DA2-3 and certainly 4.

I'll leave this series behind, let the 12yo's play it which seems to be the target audience.

The last great BioWare RPG before they got bought out by EA and run into the ground.
