Dragon Age: The Veilguard Surprises Fans with Free Weapon DLC After Months

BioWare has largely shifted focus away from Dragon Age: The Veilguard, but the remnants of its team have managed to quietly slip in a small DLC weapons pack as a surprise for players. The gaming community was taken aback when the RPG's Steam page was recently updated to include free additional content in the form of the Rook’s Weapons Appearance Offer. While modest in scope, it’s undeniably more than fans anticipated, given EA’s earlier hints that The Veilguard wouldn’t receive significant ongoing support. Back in January, the game’s fifth patch promised updates primarily aimed at resolving critical bugs, so fresh content feels like a delightful surprise—though it’s certainly on the smaller side.

There’s no official breakdown of what’s included, though observant players have deduced that it grants access to a set of Watchful skins found in the Rook’s in-game room. It remains uncertain whether the offer will extend to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X | S versions of the game.

“Even if these appearances aren’t the most breathtaking things ever,” reads one Steam review, “they exude eerie eldritch vibes.”

“It’s cosmetic DLC, but it’s essentially free DLC for a game that’s practically stopped receiving new content,” noted a Redditor. “That’s fine with me.”

Dragon Age: The Veilguard became part of the PlayStation Plus March 2025 lineup, just four months post-launch. No further updates regarding its future have been shared publicly.
