Original story here:

Dragon Age: The Veilguard release date has been leaked early, with the highly anticipated RPG sequel said to be released on October 31.

EA and BioWare were supposed to reveal the game's release date today, but a release date trailer uploaded to Streamable revealed this date earlier.

The release date reveal was supposed to be the first step on the roadmap to The Veilguard's launch, but instead it became the latest stumbling block in what has proven a rocky marketing path for BioWare's fantasy RPG. released in June. trailer, which presented the characters as if they were avatars in a hero shooter, was met with mixed reviews. Subsequent gameplay releases calmed things down a bit, but some still questioned BioWare's ability to keep the series on track in the radically changing RPG landscape

.

It is not only the marketing aspect of the games that has raised eyebrows; BioWare developers have also made some strange comments about the series, claiming, for example, that The Veilguard will be the first game in the series where “combat is actually fun” and that the characters are ” intentionally” claiming that it will be a game where storytelling is central. Nevertheless, there are also more positive claims from BioWare, such as the statement that the game will have a “mission-based” game structure rather than an open world and that players will not be “collecting shards in the hinterlands.”

The release date itself may have leaked online early, but the (now somewhat awkwardly named) release date reveal trailer will still be released at 5pm BST (1pm CET) and will hopefully contain information about the game beyond the launch timing This isn't the only showcase BioWare has planned for August. Looking further ahead, on Monday BioWare will elaborate on the game's high-level combat and spotlight the PC version (which we're sure will get our attention like a dragon stalking its prey). This will be followed by “Companions Week” on August 26, and a Q&A with the developers on Discord on August 30. Let's hope the rest of the roadmap goes a little smoother and BioWare's reveal will give us more clarity on how the RPG will actually play.
