After months of anticipation and uncertainty, BioWare’s highly anticipated RPG, Dragon Age: The Veilguard, is finally set to make its debut in the Indian market. The game will soon be available for pre-order in India on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, before its release on October 31. However, the game’s journey to Indian shores has been anything but straightforward.
Initially, the game was briefly available for pre-order on Steam in India but was subsequently removed due to what EA claimed were “local Ratings Board” issues. This was despite India adhering to the PEGI and ESRB rating systems.
Following this, pre-orders for the console versions appeared on local retail channels but were then mysteriously pulled. This led to confusion and frustration among fans who were eager to secure their copies of the game.
In September, EA confirmed that Dragon Age: The Veilguard would indeed launch in India and Turkey, but only for PC gamers on Steam. However, just last week, the game’s official Twitter account revealed that console versions would also be available in India.
For PC gamers, Dragon Age: The Veilguard has been available on Steam, with the base game priced at ₹2,999 and the Deluxe Edition at ₹4,699. The delay in the console pre-orders has left fans puzzled, and EA has yet to provide clarity on the issue.
This isn’t the first time the Dragon Age series has faced difficulties in India. The franchise’s previous title, Dragon Age: Inquisition, was never officially released in the country. With Dragon Age: The Veilguard now set to launch on October 31, Indian fans can only hope that the console versions will follow suit soon.
For PC players, the game is available to pre-order for Rs 2,999 whereas its deluxe edition pre-order would charge Rs 4,699.
