Enter the world of Thedas, a vibrant land of rugged wilderness, treacherous labyrinths, and glittering cities — all steeped in savage combat and secret magics. Now, the fate of this world teeters on a knife's edge.

Thedas needs a new leader — one they'll never see coming. You'll forge a courageous fellowship to challenge the gathering storm. Friendship, drama, and romance will abound as you bring striking individuals together into an extraordinary team. Become the leader and light the beacon of hope in their darkest moments.

In this next chapter of the critically acclaimed saga, players will step into Dragon Age's newest fully customizable hero, Rook, battling on the front lines alongside an extraordinary cast of heroes known as the Veilguard. Fellowship is central to the experience of Dragon Age: The Veilguard, with each companion entering the fray with their own storylines, motivations and skill trees. In this tale that will decide the fate of Thedas forever, Rook must rise up, rally a team and forge relationships to become the unexpected leader others believe in.

Each companion in Dragon Age: The Veilguard brings their own expertise to the field of battle, summoning the grit to stand together and face impossible odds. Throughout their adventures, players can mix and match different team combinations of two of the game's seven total companions at a time, to adapt to certain challenges and link powerful combinations that can turn the tide of any battle.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard expands upon the Dragon Age stories, worlds and characters from previous games, where players will enter a vibrant land of rugged wilderness, treacherous labyrinths, and glittering cities – steeped in conflict and secret magics. As a new hero – a character you create – along with your companions, you will challenge and take a stand against a pair of corrupt ancient gods who have broken free from centuries of darkness and are hellbent on destroying the world.

Meet the Companions! As you play, you will be rallying a team of seven companions, each with their own rich lives and deep backstories – and each bringing their own expertise and unique abilities to the fight. Your companions are characters to befriend, lead, grow and even fall in love with. You are never alone. You get to choose who to take into battle with you –  and together you will face down demons, dragons and those corrupt gods on the battlefield.

Amongst these new companions that join the fray, we will recruit allies such as the Veil Jumper Bellara, the intriguing necromancer Emmrich, and the private detective Neve –  all coming from iconic factions in Dragon Age lore, and each possessing individual skill trees and specialized gear for advanced team progression. Dragon Age fans will spot some familiar faces, too, such as the archer Lace Harding who returns to the series as a full time companion.

Meet the crew. Your team is full of individuals with grim and wondrous histories, their own personal struggles and motivations, and rare skills that'll help you survive. You'll take in combat and fight alongside:

• Bellara: The Veil Jumper - a creative and romantic Veil Jumper obsessed with uncovering ancient secrets
• Davrin: The Warden - a bold and charming Grey Warden who has made a name for himself as a monster hunter
• Emmrich: The Necromancer - a necromancer of Nevarra's Mourn Watch who comes complete with a skeletal assistant, Manfred
• Harding: The Scout - the dwarven scout, returns to the fray as a companion with her big heart, a positive outlook, and a ready bow – as well as unexpected magical powers
• Lucanis: The Mage Killer - a poised & pragmatic assassin who descends from the bloodline of the House of Crows, a criminal organization renowned throughout Thedas
• Neve: The Detective - a cynic fighting for a better future, both as a private detective and a member of Tevinter's rebellious Shadow Dragons
• Taash: The Dragon Hunter - a dragon hunter allied with the Lords of Fortune who lives for adventure and doesn't mind taking risks
