One of the last significant shots of the trailer includes a giant wolf clashing with a dragon. The wolf has several eyes on its face and resembles Solas’ tarot card shown in the party select screen in Inquisition, so this may be the fabled “dread wolf” that elven history has written him to be. What’s unclear at this moment is if Solas is actually transforming into the beast we see here or if he’s commanding it in some way. Official art for the game and his tarot card shown in the party selection screen at the end of Dragon Age: Inquisition imply that the wolf and Solas are not the same entity, but we’ll find out more when we finally get our hands on the game.
Dragon Age: The Veilguard is coming to PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S on October 31. The game has been a long time coming, with the last game, Dragon Age: Inquisition, launching in 2014. Fans have been waiting nearly an entire decade to see what comes next for Thedas, and it looks like The Veilguard will be the culmination of several plotlines that have been expanding for over 15 years.
