Due to the immense amount of dialogue in this game, one of the aspects that took the longest to complete was the coordination of the recording process. Recording this much dialogue is extremely difficult to coordinate due to the vast number and complexity of working with each actor.

Epler clarified that the studio is also working on other projects, which is why they wanted to allocate as much time as possible to coordinate everything.

The creators of Dragon Age: The Veilguard wanted this game to achieve the highest possible quality so that fans could enjoy a fantastic title. Despite being in development for five years as of July, Barlow noted that it’s a relatively short time given the recorded 140,000 lines of dialogue.

All indications are that this project will be one of the most ambitious of recent years from the studio, and fans should be more than excited.

The game does not have a confirmed release date, but according to some rumors, it could arrive by the end of this year. The title will be released for PS5, Xbox Series S/X, and PC.

The main request of this adventure is that the player can build their Veilguard through their charisma and demonstrate their leadership skills. The saga will witness some of the most epic battles due to the diversity and combat abilities of the characters.

I'm a big fan of movies and videogames in general. I really love Pokémon and Godzilla. One of my favorite games is The Last of Us, Part II. A compelling and well-written story is always welcome.
