The Veilguard It has been promoting itself with a lot of material, putting the focus on its characters and has already garnered good feedback from the press in recent previews.

However, BioWare's game has not been able to escape rumors about an alleged early sales failure considering its pre-orders on Steam. Now EA has put to rest the debate over low expectations for Dragon Age: The Veilguard, saying that “there is strong demand”It was at a financial meeting of Electronic Arts where it was confirmed that the new RPG from the creators of Mass Effect is on the right track (via the blog Felassan).

Dragon Age: The Veilguard “is within expectations”

These were the words of Laura Mielepresident of Electronic Arts Entertainment, at the meeting:

“Let’s take a look at what’s coming next. Next month the wait is over for Dragon Age fans, as BioWare is set to release its fourth installment in the epic franchise. Here we have BioWare doing what it does best: immersive storytelling, memorable characters and a beautiful world. The Dragon Age community is excited and the press reception has been very positive. The game looks great on both consoles and PC and we’re already seeing strong demand across all major platforms. And this is still weeks away, arriving on October 31st.”

To support his words, the CFO Stuart Canfield said the following:

“Looking ahead, we’re looking forward to the launch of EA Sports FC 25 next week and Dragon Age: The Veilguard in October, with both currently on track with our expectations.”

For now, both the good and bad news regarding the alleged future sales of Dragon Age: The Veilguard are nothing more than pure speculation, so we will have no choice but to wait for its release next month.
