Looks like we might be seeing the last big update for Dragon Age: The Veilguard. If you’ve been following the buzz around the patch notes, it seems like this could be the final curtain call for substantial changes. EA shared that the game hit 1.5 million players, falling short by half of what they had anticipated. This shortfall seems to have led them to halt post-launch support just a mere three months after its debut.
### Exploring the Final Patch for Dragon Age: The Veilguard
Bioware began the discussion on the update 5 patch notes for Dragon Age: The Veilguard with an announcement. They’re shifting their focus to just monitoring any critical bugs and issues from here on out, sparking discussions that this could indeed be the concluding major update.
“We’re thrilled with how stable the game has been since its release, and we hope you’ve appreciated our Quality of Life updates,” the notes detail. “Now that the game’s stable, we’ll keep an eye out for any game-breaking bugs that might arise.”
It definitely gives off the air of a final update, even if Bioware hasn’t directly said as much.
Here’s what else you’ll find in the patch notes:
