A new game, particularly one ten years in the making after a GOTY-winning sequel, underperforming by a full 50% is dire. You’ll also notice from the wording there that it says “engaged” not “sold,” as this number includes those who might have played via EA Play. So sales are likely not much above a million.

It looks like Dragon Age: The Veilguard has received its last major update, if its patch notes are anything to go by. EA recently revealed that the game reached 1.5 million players, which is 50% less than its expectations. This has apparently led the publisher to pull the plug on post-launch support in just three months.

The Veilguard wouldn’t be getting any major DLC or expansions after its launch in October, but now it sounds like the studio is moving on from putting out big patches for the game after less than three months.

BioWare is now expected to focus its full attention on the new Mass Effect game.

BioWare says that Veilguard is in a stable place and the team will shift to 'monitor for any game-breaking bugs, should those occur.'

The Veilguard developer BioWare has released a new patch for the game and in the same breath suggested it’s basically done with it less than three months after launch.

The Veilguard received its final major update, Patch 5. BioWare will focus on monitoring game-breaking bugs, but don't expect new features. We were already told that there would be no DLC, as the team moves on to Mass Effect 5 instead.

"We were so happy with the game’s stability at launch and hope you have enjoyed our quality of life patches since then."

The newest patch for Dragon Age: The Veilguard is out now, and some believe it could be the game's final update. The newest patch is mainly focused on bug fixes.

Dragon Age Veilguard significantly missed EA's internal targets, and its full game sales apparently delivered less than 1.5 million units on all platforms.
