Dragon Age: The Veilguard Gets Surprise Free Weapon DLC After Months Without an Update

BioWare may have largely moved on from Dragon Age: The Veilguard, but a surprise free DLC weapons pack has recently appeared.

Dragon Age fans were taken aback when the game's Steam page was updated with the free Rook's Weapons Appearance Offer. While small, this unexpected addition is a welcome surprise, especially considering EA's previous indication that The Veilguard wouldn't receive significant post-launch support. The January announcement of the fifth patch, focusing primarily on bug fixes, made this new content feel almost miraculous – even if it's a modest offering.

The bundle's contents remain unspecified, although players have discovered it provides a set of Watchful skins accessible within the Rook's in-game room. Availability for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S remains unclear.

"While the appearances aren't exactly stunning," one Steam review notes, "they definitely evoke a spooky, eldritch horror vibe!"

"It's cosmetic DLC, but it's free DLC for a game that's practically done receiving new content," a Redditor commented. "I'll take it."

AnswerSee Results*Dragon Age: The Veilguard*, released in October to generally positive reviews, reportedly failed to reach a wide enough audience, according to EA. Key team members left BioWare in late January, following layoffs and reassignments within the company. EA subsequently confirmed a shift in focus towards the next *Mass Effect* title.

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