Summary

Dragon Age fans are struggling to get used to the sequel's new name, The Veilguard.
Some prefer Dreadwolf, while others wish The Veilguard would just drop the "The".
BioWare says the new name better reflected the game's story.

168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Dragon Age fans were shocked to learn earlier this month that 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Dragon Age: Dreadwolf is no more. Well, the game still exists, but it's undergone a complete rebranding, now known as 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Dragon Age: The Veilguard.

The response to this news was pretty much unanimous: that kinda sucks. Not only were we all used to Dreadwolf, but The Veilguard just doesn't seem to roll off the tongue as well. Now, fans are hoping BioWare makes yet another name change, dropping the "The" from The Veilguarda at the very ﷺleast.

Dragon Age Fans Want The Veilguard To Drop The "The"

As you can see, the main gripe people have here is with the "The" before Veilguard. It is strange why BioWare didn't opt for just Dragon Age: Veilguard, since that would fit in with previous naming conventions (apart from Dragon Age 2, the awkward middle child), but it is what it is.

Just for good measure, fans have come up with a bunch🎶 of joke titles the game could use instead, which makes The Veilguard sound a lot smoother in comparison.

BioWare has shed some light on why it decided to change the name so close to launch, explaining that it better suits the game. It was argued that The Veilguard is 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:"not a game about Solas", so the name change puts the focus on the companions instead. This would keep things similar to 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Dragon Age: Inquisition, at least, as that was named aftꦑer ou🗹r new party.

Still, that doesn't explain why the name is so clunky. Fans are also split on how to abbreviate the game, opting for both DA:TV and DA:V - certainly not as clean as previous games. At this point though, the devs are hard at work promoting the game ahead of its launch later this year, so we're unlikely to see another name change now.
