Speaking with GamesRadar, while talking about Dragon Age: The Veilguard’s development cycle, creative director John Epler said BioWare “wanted to make sure we got this one right”, calling the action RPG “the best version [it] could possibly be.” The game’s voice cast has been working on it for five years, as per Epler, while creative performance director Ashley Barlow says the RPG touts a whopping 140,000 lines of recorded dialogue.
Dragon Age: The Veilguard launches for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC this fall, and will also be Steam Deck Verified.
At over 140,000 lines of recorded dialogue, it outweighs all past BioWare titles by that metric, with Dragon Age: Inquisition having had 80,000 lines of recorded dialogue, and Mass Effect: Andromeda capping out at 65,000 (which, interestingly, was more than Mass Effect 2 and 3 combined).
Dragon Age: The Veilguard is set to launch this fall, by which time it will have been an entire decade since the series’ last instalment, Dragon Age: Inquisition, came out.
