Today, on Dragon Age Day 2024, we want to thank you, our community. You inspire all of us with your passion and care. If you’re new to our community, welcome, and if you’re a long time fan, we’re so glad to have you along with us on this journey! We observe DA Day on December 4th each year, and we have several activities today to celebrate you and our recent release of Dragon Age: The Veilguard. Check out today’s activities below.
Along with Patch 4 later today, we’re pleased to release a stand alone, free version of the Character Creator on all platforms! For the folks who have yet to jump into Dragon Age: The Veilguard, you can now create a Rook before buying the full game and transfer your character over, as long as you’re on the same platform*. There’s no time limit on the Character Creator; we know crafting the perfect protagonist can take hours. Special shout out to breebunn, who spent 21 whole hours making her Rook and Inquisitor! She’ll be doing a special stream at 9:30am PT to celebrate Dragon Age Day with us.
We’ve been so excited to see the many different Rooks you’ve created since the game launched over a month ago. In celebration of you, our community, we’ve assembled a special collection of some of our favorite Rooks that you’ve shared with us along the way. Check out the montage at the top of the blog and see if your Rook is included! We can’t thank you enough for being a part of our community.
Also part of today’s celebration, we asked our artists to create a new piece of art that commemorates the incredible journeys you’ve taken as Rook into the newest, darkest corners of Thedas, persevering against the Blight and the Elven Gods. We hope you enjoy this special Dragon Age Day edition that honors the legacy of the past games, showing your status as the hero and leader of the Veilguard.
Additionally, we made a fun infographic to explore your choices in-game! The full infographic will be available on our social media later today, but here’s a sneak peek.
Now that the game has been out for a bit, we’re happy to be doing another AMA with our developers! Join us today on the r/dragonage subreddit starting at 12pm PST. Our previous AMAs were on our BioWare Discord, if you want to check out the past questions and answers before hopping into today’s session. Please note, there may be spoilers in this AMA, so read at your own risk!
Last but definitely not least, we have a gift for everyone who owns Dragon Age: The Veilguard. Starting today, you will be able to get the iconic armor, body paint, and nose blood smear of Dragon Age II’s protagonist, Hawke, for your Rook. These cosmetics will be permanently available and can be found in the Lighthouse after downloading Patch 4 and completing the mission “The Singing Blade.”
We still have a few more things planned in the days to come and before the holiday season, so keep your eyes on our social media! Once again, thank you for being part of our community and always showing your passion for this series. Happy Dragon Age Day 2024!
