Dragon Age: The Veilguard Companions Are More Realized Because You Can’t Control Them, Says BioWare

During Kai's trip to San Francisco to play Dragon Age: The Veilguard, he was able to secure an exclusive interview with BioWare's Francois Chaput (Missions and Level Design Director) and Matt Rhodes (Art Director). Later, though, he also participated in a roundtable Q&A with Game Directors Corinne Busche and John Epler where various colleagues from the press were able to ask their questions. One of the most interesting answers came on the topic of companions, which are the very focus of Dragon Age: The Veilguard and even prompted the title change from Dreadwolf. When asked when they decided companions wouldn't […]

Dragon Age: The Veilguard Exclusive Q&A – ‘No Side Quest Exists Without Contributing to the Narrative’

During our trip to San Francisco to play Dragon Age: The Veilguard for the first time, we had the chance to speak with two members of BioWare's development team: Francois Chaput, Missions and Level Design Director, and Matt Rhodes, Art Director, both of which delved into their respective areas of expertise. As a reminder, Dragon Age: The Veilguard will launch on October 31, almost ten years after the previous installment's release. It will be available for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series S|X. I know you are taking a different approach as far as levels go. Rather than trying to […]

Dragon Age: The Veilguard Hands-On Preview – Rook Takes Queen, Checkmate

BioWare and Electronic Arts recently invited a select number of media and influencers, Wccftech included, to their western California campus to get some of the first hands-on with their long-awaited sequel to the Dragon Age franchise. It’s been a long time coming and a series of iterations to get to where we are now and with the release only a handful of weeks away, gamers will finally have the opportunity to take up the mantle of The Veilguard. Built upon the narrative started nearly two decades ago and touched on as recently as Dragon Age: Inquisition’s DLC, Dragon Age: The […]

God of War Ragnarok: Valhalla Roguelike DLC Launching for Free Next Week

The God of War series typically hasn’t done DLC, with the 2018 God of War reboot never getting anything beyond a New Game+ mode and other minor content updates. Initially, it seemed like the same would be true for God of War Ragnarok, but in recent months rumors have begun to spread that the game will be getting an expansion. Well, today at The Game Awards Sony confirmed Kratos will be returning sooner than expected with God of War Ragnarok: Valhalla, a new free DLC launching -- next week! Based on the brief teaser trailer, it looks like the DLC […]

The Game Awards 2023: Watch the Big Show and All the Reveals Here!

The Game Awards 2023 is almost here, and it’s sure to deliver a hearty dose of the things the show is known for – speeches, musical numbers, Geoff Keighley awkwardly reading ad copy, and, of course, new trailers and reveals. This year, the show is dropping the “World Premiere” branding for the new trailers and footage shown, but Geoff Keighley actually promises more reveals than usual. The Game Awards 2023 kicks off this evening (December 7) at 4:30pm PT/7:30pm ET/12:30am GMT. You can watch the show on YouTube, Twitch, and other streaming services. In fact, we’ve got the video right […]

TGA 2023 Has More Announcements Than Usual, Says Keighley

We're on the eve of this year's edition of The Game Awards (TGA 2023), and host Geoff Keighley took some time to share a few details in advance. While the ceremony may be named after the prizes for the best games released in any given year, it's also one of the best places for developers and publishers to share new trailers for their upcoming titles. In a recent Q&A streamed on Twitch, Keighley said TGA 2023 has received fewer teasers from the organizers because it will include more game announcements than past editions. We're probably going to tease fewer games […]

The Game Awards “Players’ Voice” Noms Include Zelda, Genshin, BG3, but Not Some Big Sellers

Last month The Game Awards officially unveiled its nominations in all categories, with one exception. The “Players’ Voice” award is not only voted on by fans, the nominations are determined by them as well, which provides some interesting insight into what players are really excited by in a given year (or which fanbase is most motivated to stuff the ballot box). Well, the final five nominees for the Players’ Voice award have now been announced, and they’re Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Baldur’s Gate 3, Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty, and Genshin Impact. You can […]

The Game Awards is Dropping “World Premiere” Branding and Beefing Up Stage Security

What are the first words that come to mind when The Game Awards are mentioned? Well, aside from Doritos and Mountain Dew. “World Premiere,” right? For years, Geoff Keighley’s awards show has somewhat pretentiously referred to any new trailer shown during the show as a World Premiere, with the title card popping up constantly throughout the proceedings. Most people kind of roll their eyes at it, but what would The Game Awards be without the constant World Premiere talk? Well, it seems we’re about to find out. In a recent Twitch Q&A, Geoff Keighley indicated the era of the World […]

The Game Award 2023 Nominees Led by Alan Wake 2, Baldur’s Gate 3; Starfield Only Gets 1 Nod

The nominees for The Game Awards 2023 have officially been announced, as you might expect, it’s a very competitive year with nominees being fairly evenly split between a number of top contenders. The two frontrunners, with 8 noms apiece, are Alan Wake 2 and Baldur’s Gate 3. Following close on their heels is Spider-Man 2 with 7 nominations, and Nintendo does better than usual (they’re often unfairly relegated to the “Family” category) with 5 noms for both The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and Super Mario Bros. Wonder. Resident Evil 4, Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty, and Final Fantasy […]
