The Next Dragon Age Adventure Is Out Very Soon, But It’s Not What You Think It Is

Ahead of the release of Dragon Age: The Veilguard in October, BioWare has announced an eight-part “immersive fantasy” podcast series set in the game’s universe. The first episode will premiere on August 29 and will feature podcast-exclusive characters alongside all companions in Dragon Age: The Veilguard.

The characters of Dragon Age: Vows & Vengeance will be voiced by Mae Whitman, Bridgette Lundy-Paine, and Armen Taylor, and each episode will reveal more details about the companions of Dragon Age: The Veilguard–Harding, Davrin, Bellara, Neve, Taash, Emmrich, Manfred, and Lucanis–as they embark on a new adventure set in Thedas.

Episode one introduces Nadia, a retired thief unknowingly working for the Dread Wolf. After her lover Elio is banished to the Fade, Nadia crosses paths with the writer Drayden, and the pair set off on a quest to rescue Elio, with a little help from some familiar faces along the way. Each episode of the narrative series will be released weekly, and BioWare will host listening parties for each one in its Discord server.
