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

BioWare has almost entirely shifted its focus away from Dragon Age: The Veilguard, but that hasn't stopped the remaining team from quietly adding a delightful surprise—a small DLC weapons pack—to the game. Dragon Age fans were taken aback when the RPG's Steam page was updated to include the Rook’s Weapons Appearance Offer as free add-on content. Though modest, this addition is a welcome surprise, especially since EA had previously indicated that Dragon Age: The Veilguard would not receive much further support. The fifth patch in January promised that future updates would primarily address game-breaking bugs, making this new content feel like a small miracle.

The Rook’s Weapons Appearances bundle is exclusively available to current owners of the game and those who purchase it on PC by April 8, 2025. While there's no detailed description of what the bundle includes, players have discovered that it offers 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.

"Even if these appearances aren't the most, uh, beautiful things ever," one Steam review noted, "they do give spooky eldritch horror vibes!"

"It's cosmetic DLC, but it's essentially free DLC for a game that's practically no longer getting newer content," a Redditor commented. "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 members of its development team announced their departure from BioWare in late January, as much of the staff was either laid off or reassigned to other roles within the company. At that time, EA informed IGN that the studio was now fully focused on the next installment of the Mass Effect series.

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