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

BioWare has largely shifted its focus away from Dragon Age: The Veilguard, yet a small, dedicated team continues to surprise fans with unexpected additions. The RPG's Steam page was recently updated to feature a free DLC pack, the Rook’s Weapons Appearance Offer, which was a pleasant surprise given EA's earlier statements about minimal future support for the game. After the fifth patch in January, which emphasized fixing major bugs, the introduction of new content, even if modest, feels like a small miracle.

The Rook’s Weapons Appearance Offer is exclusively available to current owners and new PC purchasers until April 8, 2025. While the specifics of the bundle remain undisclosed, the community has discovered it includes a set of Watchful skins accessible in the Rook's in-game room. It's uncertain whether this offer will extend to the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X | S versions.

Feedback from players has been cautiously optimistic. A Steam review noted, “Even if these appearances aren't the most, uh, beautiful things ever, they do give spooky eldritch horror vibes!” Meanwhile, a Redditor commented, "It's cosmetic DLC, but it's essentially free DLC for a game that's practically no longer getting newer content. I'll live with that."

Dragon Age: The Veilguard received positive reviews upon its October launch, yet according to EA, it didn't connect with a wide enough audience. Key team members announced their departure from BioWare in late January, with many staff members either being laid off or reassigned. EA confirmed to IGN that the studio was now dedicating 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, with no further plans for its future announced.
