Dragon Age Veilguard has been at the forefront of gaming news since its release, all for the wrong reasons. Almost a decade into making, Dragon Age: Veilguard came as an utter disappointment, even leading developer BioWare to shrink to less than 100 developers.
It hasn’t been 4 months since the game’s launch, and Dragon Age: Veilgard is already announced as a PlayStation Plus title.
Why It Matters: Sony usually tends to add older games to its PlayStation Plus catalog every month. However, for them to add such a recent third-party title means that the game wasn’t doing well.
Dragon Age: Veilgard and other titles like Sonic Colors: Ultimate and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection will be available on the PlayStation Plus service starting March 4 next month.
Studio BioWare has already pulled the plug on the game. Dragon Age: Veilguard sold only 1.5 million units within its first quarter, which was 50% of what EA had expected.
Perhaps Dragon Age: The Veilguard’s availability on PlayStation Plus will help build a stronger player base, something its sales struggled to achieve.
Despite the public backlash, BioWare and EA still found themselves at the center of the game’s praise.
The studio co-founder praised the game, saying that people had unrealistic expectations of it. On the other hand, EA implied that Dragon Age could become a billion-dollar franchise.
