BioWare may have largely shifted its focus away from Dragon Age: The Veilguard, but that hasn't stopped the game's remaining developers from adding a surprising new DLC. Dragon Age fans were taken aback when the RPG's Steam page was updated to include the Rook's Weapons Appearance Offer, a free add-on that brings a touch of excitement to the community. Given EA's previous announcement that Dragon Age: The Veilguard would not see significant support moving forward, this small addition feels like a breath of fresh air. After the fifth patch in January promised a focus on fixing game-breaking bugs, any new content—even a modest weapons pack—is a pleasant surprise.
Interestingly, the Rook's Weapons Appearance Offer is exclusively available to current owners of the game and new PC purchasers until April 8, 2025. While there's no detailed description of what's included, the community has discovered that it features a set of Watchful skins, accessible in the 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.
Feedback from the community has been mixed but generally positive. 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."
Despite Dragon Age: The Veilguard receiving positive reviews upon its October launch, according to EA, it didn't capture a wide enough audience. This led to significant changes at BioWare, with lead members of its team leaving in late January as part of broader layoffs and role shifts within the company. EA confirmed to IGN that the studio was now directing its "full focus" on the next Mass Effect.
Adding to its journey, Dragon Age: The Veilguard was included in the PlayStation Plus March 2025 titles, just four months after its initial release. No further plans for the game's future have been announced, leaving fans curious about what might come next.
