Dragon Age: The Veilguard Surprise Free Weapon DLC Released After Months

BioWare may have largely shifted its focus away from Dragon Age: The Veilguard, but the game's dedicated team has surprised fans by adding a small yet exciting DLC weapons pack. The RPG's Steam page was recently updated to include the Rook’s Weapons Appearance Offer, a free add-on that has sent ripples of excitement through the Dragon Age community. This unexpected addition comes as a pleasant surprise, especially after EA hinted that Dragon Age: The Veilguard wouldn't receive significant future support. The game's fifth patch in January focused primarily on fixing game-breaking bugs, making this new content feel like a small miracle.

The Rook’s Weapons Appearance Offer is exclusively available to current PC owners of the game and those who purchase it on PC by April 8, 2025. While specifics of the bundle's contents are not detailed, players have discovered that it includes a set of Watchful skins, accessible in their 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 largely positive. A Steam review noted, "Even if these appearances aren't the most, uh, beautiful things ever, they do give spooky eldritch horror vibes!" On Reddit, a user 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 launched to positive reviews from critics in October but, according to EA, did not "resonate with a broad enough audience." Key team members announced their departure from BioWare in late January, as many staff members were either laid off or reassigned to other projects within the company. At the time, EA informed IGN that the studio was now putting its "full focus" on the next Mass Effect installment.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard was added to the PlayStation Plus March 2025 titles just four months after its release. No further plans for the game's future have been disclosed.
