After a nearly 10-year gap between installments, Dragon Age: The Veilguard is set to arrive at the end of this month. Unfortunately, for those who wish to avoid spoilers, The Veilguard's achievements list has leaked a few weeks ahead of schedule. Anyone hoping to preserve all possible surprises should steer clear of these spoilers entirely.
The Veilguard's achievements have surfaced on a Reddit thread and other online platforms. While we won't be divulging any spoilers here, the story-progression achievements seem to be the most damaging in terms of potential plot revelations. Additionally, there are the usual collectible achievements and some that are specific to individual party members. This situation is somewhat akin to a film's soundtrack being released early with spoilers hidden in the track titles, as seen with the 1999 release of John Williams' score for Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace. The Veilguard offers a more intimate experience for players, but some pivotal story moments will be shared by all. It's likely to be more enjoyable if players don't look too far ahead for any twists that might be in store.
There are certain details that BioWare does want players to be aware of beforehand, such as launch times for The Veilguard, preloading information, and the exclusion of spiders from this game. However, there will still be a plethora of monsters and creatures to battle as players return to Thedas.
Dragon Age: The Veilguard is scheduled to launch on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S on October 31.
