Nicely, the PC model of it randomly acquired a brand new DLC yesterday, seemingly with little or no fanfare.

This comes after the mix of all that behind-the-scenes stuff I simply talked about, EA saying the sport underperformed earlier than letting it drop on PS Plus at no cost in fairly fast trend, and BioWare itself seemingly saying a elaborate Elven goodbye in some January patch notes had all left us assuming that the sport was very a lot executed with. On to Mass Impact 5, no matter that will seem like.

Nicely, as noticed by TheGamer, the Steam model of Veilguard immediately acquired a recent add-on yesterday, March 20. It is a free DLC known as “Rook’s Weapons Look Provide“, and it seems to supply some new weapon and shioeld skins that somebody on Reddit’s kindly put collectively a slideshow of.

The gadgets will seem in Rook’s Room once you log into Dragon Age: The Veilguard.”

So, limited-time and seemingly as a part of a suggestion designed to encourage you to purchase or play Veilguard – which is on sale together with the remainder of the collection on Steam proper now – within the close to future. As an additional observe, the drescrption of the DLC itself provides a distinct date as to when you have to buy the sport by in comparison with that Steam announcement – it says April 9. Nonetheless, there isn’t any publish on the official Dragon Age Twitter account about it or something on the sport’s web site underneath both newest information or sport updates.

There’s some hypothesis within the Reddit thread I hyperlink earlier that these items is perhaps stuff that was already in Veilguard’s recordsdata and has now merely been made out there, fairly than being freshly-developed content material made by whoever’s left at BioWare that might nonetheless be assigned to the sport. The Dragon Age followers on there aren’t followers of those weapons/skins both, with one summing issues up by writing: “Right here, have a hideous knife and love us without end”.
