Part 3/10:
The official announcement for Dragon Age: The Veilguard was met with immediate backlash. The trailer, which was heavily influenced by the Fortnite-style hyper-hero shooter aesthetic, left fans feeling alienated. The trailer became a symbol of the studio’s apparent departure from what made Dragon Age beloved — deep storytelling, rich lore, and strategic gameplay. Within hours, the video's dislike count soared to over 235,000 against just 41,000 likes, with countless comments expressing frustration and distrust.
