Summary
Dragon Age: The Veilguardmight still be months away from release, but that hasn’t stopped some people from asking whether DLC is planned. It’s pretty much expected these days for big publishers to announce DLC expansions for their biggest games before they’ve even released - just look atUbisoft unveiling a full roadmap for Str Wars Outlawsbefore the thing even hit store shelves.
With that in mind, it makes sense that Dragon Age: The Veilguard director Corinne Busch was asked whether any DLC was in the works byYouTuber MrMattyPlaysin a recent interview (thanks Games Radar), though your hopes would be dashed if you had your fingers crossed for even more Dragon Age next year.
Busch reveals that BioWare isn’t thinking about potential DLC at the moment, and there are no current plans, as the team is focused solely on making Dragon Age: The Veilguard. If that’s upsetting to you, Busch actually has a pretty good reason as to why DLC isn’t on BioWare’s list of priorities right now.
Dragon Age: The Veilguard Isn’t Getting DLC Because Of Inquisition
Busch explains that while she’s a fan of the DLC offerings for previous Dragon Age games, she thinks that DLC such as Inquisition’s Trespasser expansion are better off included in the full package, claiming that Trespasser probably shouldn’t have been DLC due to how vital it is to the game’s story. Learning from that, Busch says that the team wanted to make The Veilguard the most complete package they could.
“We’ve had a lot of conversations about how expansive is this story, how far does it go, what is the conclusion and resolution? Really, we wanted to make it the most complete out-of-the-box package we possibly could, from player experience, to the narrative, and everything else, so that’s entirely our focus right now.”
Fortunately, Busch does leave the door slightly open for DLC in the future, claiming that it’s “hard to say what the future holds” and to “never say never”, but DLC is currently off the table as BioWare focuses on making The Veilguard the best it can be.
