Dragon Age: The Veilguard—You Can Have Epic RPG Action Without the Need for a High-End PC!

Dragon Age: The Veilguard is finally coming this year, and if you’re like me, you have looked forward to it by counting down the days. I still remember sinking hours after hours into Dragon Age: Origins, lost in Thedas—going, “Man, how can BioWare top that?”

Well, here we are, years later, with the wait almost over.

Mark it down: October 31, 2024—yeah, Halloween. Can’t get any better than that, right?

Whether you’re a console warrior or part of the PC master race, this game has got you covered. The best part is that you don’t need some sort of a beastly machine to run it, unlike most Triple-A titles that have come out in the last couple of years.

Even if your gaming rig is a little older, well, you are good to go.

The scoop is that Dragon Age: The Veilguard is running EA’s Frostbite engine, so most of it will be bright and new.

This is slightly deviating from the much darker and grittier flavors of the older series, but do not worry; all epic vibes are here.

The latest trailer is pure gold—trust me, it’s the best teaser we have seen so far.

So, what’s in store for you? BioWare’s been tight-lipped on plot details, but we hear rumors of revisiting old faces and uncharted territories in Thedas.

Keeping fingers crossed that some critical character-driven drama follows through; this is BioWare’s specialty!

Now, if you’re like me and already looking at that pre-order button, here’s what you need to know about the hardware.

Now, for those of you sporting a 1080p setup and cool with 30 FPS, you will only want something like an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 or an AMD Radeon R9 290X. Guess what?

It’s even Steam Deck verified! So if you are more of a handheld gamer, here you go.

Recommended specs aren’t out of this world either if you’re gunning for something a bit more high-end.

We’re talking an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 or AMD Radeon RX 5700XT, paired with an Intel Core i9-9900K or AMD Ryzen 7 3700X. And no matter what setup you’ve got, you’ll need 100GB of space. Yeah, it’s a big one, but totally worth it.
