Dragon Age: The Veilguard from BioWare and EA is set to be one of the biggest game launches this fall. It marks the return of the fantasy RPG series after a decade and promises to be a single-player gem following the disappointing Anthem. To prepare for the upcoming release of Dragon Age: The Veilguard, it’s a good idea to delve into the lore of the series by revisiting older games, such as Dragon Age: Inquisition. Luckily, the PlayStation Store Summer Sale offers a great opportunity to snag Dragon Age: Inquisition – Game of the Year Edition, including all DLC, for only $4.
Throughout July, the price of Dragon Age: Inquisition – Game of the Year Edition has been slashed to just $4 on the PlayStation Store as part of the Summer Sale, a whopping 90% discount from its usual $40 price tag. If you intend to play Dragon Age: The Veilguard later this year, getting Dragon Age: Inquisition with all its DLC for $4 is an incredible deal you shouldn’t miss.
Dragon Age: Inquisition kicks off with the player as the sole survivor of an explosion at The Conclave, leading to a tear in the Veil surrounding Thedas. As the chosen one, they take charge of an inquisition to seal these breaches. The game is a grand RPG adventure, introducing new characters, recruiting party members, and making impactful decisions that shape the narrative – a hallmark of BioWare storytelling.
The Veilguard appears to have strong ties to Inquisition, with familiar characters like Solas, Varric, and Harding making appearances. While you can start with The Veilguard, playing Inquisition first will provide a smoother immersion into the world of Thedas and build familiarity with these characters.
Exploring vast open-ended areas, players interact with vibrant locales and engaging visuals, reinforcing the inquisition’s growth based on their actions. The combat, although more action-oriented, retains deep RPG elements and magical abilities, offering a lasting experience even a decade post-release. The Game of the Year Edition includes all DLC, offering fresh content for new and returning players.
Inquisition remains one of BioWare’s standout titles, blending scale and ambition seamlessly. As the studio aims to recapture that magic with The Veilguard, revisiting this classic provides insight into the studio’s standard. At just $4, Dragon Age: Inquisition is a steal and a must-have in the 2024 PlayStation Store Summer Sale.
The PS4 version of Dragon Age: Inquisition — Game of the Year Edition is priced at $4 until July 31, 11:59 p.m. PT on the PlayStation Store. Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers can also enjoy this game on PC or Xbox One through the EA Play catalog.
