Dragon Age: The Veilguard first-look reveals companions and fan-favourite returning character

Dragon Age: The Veilguard got a first trailer today during the Xbox Showcase, and it looked very good indeed.

BioWare’s RPG has a slightly stylised artstyle – in this trailer, at least – and a cool-looking roster of new companion characters… except not all of them are new.

In amongst the roster are a couple of familiar faces. Varric we knew would be back in this next installment, though doesn’t appear to be a party member. But, joining the party is… Dragon Age Inquisition fan-favourite Harding! The news makes this particular Dragon Age fan extremely happy indeed.

Veilguard’s seven companions look to be: Harding the dwarven scout, Neve the detective, Lucanis the mage killer, Belara the Veil jumper, Emmrich the necromancer, Davrin the warden and lastly Taash, a qunari who is a dragon hunter.

We’re expecting to see 15 minutes of gameplay footage from Dragon Age: The Veilguard this coming week. Check back on Tuesday for more.
