Dragon Age: Veilguard Surprise Free Weapon DLC Released

BioWare may have largely shifted its focus away from Dragon Age: The Veilguard, but the dedicated team still working on it has a delightful surprise for fans: a small yet appreciated DLC weapons pack. Dragon Age enthusiasts were taken aback when the RPG’s Steam page was recently updated to announce the Rook’s Weapons Appearance Offer, a free add-on available to players. This move comes as a pleasant surprise, especially after EA hinted that Dragon Age: The Veilguard would not see much additional support. The game's fifth patch, released back in January, focused on addressing game-breaking bugs and promised little in terms of new content. Hence, this new addition feels like a small miracle.

Strangely, the Rook’s Weapons Appearances bundle is exclusively available to current owners of the game and those who purchase it on PC before April 8, 2025. Details on what the bundle includes are sparse, but players have deduced that it provides access to a set of Watchful skins, which can be used in the Rook's in-game room. It remains uncertain whether this offer will extend to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X | S versions of the game.

Feedback on this new content has been largely positive. A Steam review noted, "Even if these appearances aren't the most, uh, beautiful things ever, they do give spooky eldritch horror vibes!" Meanwhile, a Redditor commented, "It's cosmetic DLC, but it's essentially free DLC for a game that's practically no longer getting newer content. I'll live with that."

Dragon Age: The Veilguard received positive reviews upon its October release, but according to EA, it didn't capture a wide enough audience. In late January, key members of the development team announced they were leaving BioWare, with many staff members either being laid off or reassigned within the company. At that time, EA informed IGN that BioWare was now fully committed to the next Mass Effect game.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard was added to the PlayStation Plus March 2025 lineup just four months after its launch. As of now, no further plans for its future have been disclosed.
