BioWare’s next game still doesn’t have an exact release date, which is strange because we don’t have to wait much longer.

Eurogamer has discovered that the game’s publisher, Electronic Arts, has clarified a bit in its quarterly earnings report when Dragon Age: The Veilguard will hit the stores. They said Q3, which means the third quarter. That is not the calendar third quarter, because that is from July to September, and if BioWare’s long-awaited game was coming in September, we would already know when it would be released. That means the third quarter of the fiscal year, and since their year starts in April, that would be between October and December.

So far we’ve heard that the new Dragon Age episode will be released sometime in the fall, which would rule out September. That leaves October and November, and BioWare recently wrote in a blog post that we’ll get a roadmap and a deeper look at the game in August, and they’ll tell us exactly when we can start playing the game. We’re guessing a Tuesday in November, but who knows what that might be?

We’ve already reported that Dragon Age: The Veilguard will have 140,000 lines of dialog, which is more than Dragon Age: Inquisition’s 88,000, and even more than the estimated (!) 114,921 lines of Baldur’s Gate 3. Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 may also arrive during the season (but we suspect that Paradox and The Chinese Room may be delayed as they won’t be showing it at Gamescom), as well as Kingdom Come Deliverance 2. Avowed is already off the list, as Microsoft and Obsidian confirmed (and we wrote) that the release date has been moved to next year.

Dragon Age: Inquisition will be released for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series and PC at some point. But when? We’ll find out soon enough.
