Dragon Age: The Veilguard Surprises Fans with Free Weapon DLC After Long Wait

BioWare has largely moved on from Dragon Age: The Veilguard, but that hasn't stopped its dedicated remaining team from quietly introducing a small DLC weapons pack to the game. Dragon Age fans were taken aback when the RPG's Steam page was updated to include free add-on content known as the Rook's Weapons Appearance Offer. This unexpected addition comes as a pleasant surprise, especially after EA had hinted that Dragon Age: The Veilguard would see limited support moving forward. With the fifth patch back in January focusing on addressing game-breaking bugs, the introduction of new content, albeit minimal, feels like a small miracle.

Interestingly, the Rook's Weapons Appearances bundle is exclusively available to current owners of the game and those who purchase it on PC by April 8, 2025. While there's no detailed description of the bundle's contents, players have deduced that it includes a set of Watchful skins accessible in their Rook's in-game room. It remains uncertain whether this offer will extend to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X | S versions of the game.

"Even if these appearances aren't the most, uh, beautiful things ever," one Steam review states, "they do give spooky eldritch horror vibes!"

"It's cosmetic DLC, but it's essentially free DLC for a game that's practically no longer getting new content," a Redditor commented. "I'll live with that."

Dragon Age: The Veilguard received positive reviews from critics upon its October launch but, according to EA, failed to "resonate with a broad enough audience." Key team members announced their departure from BioWare in late January, as many staff members were either laid off or reassigned to other roles within the company. At that time, EA informed IGN that the studio was shifting to put its "full focus" on the next Mass Effect.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard was added to the PlayStation Plus March 2025 titles just four months after its release. No further plans for its future have been disclosed.
