FollowingDragon Age: The Veilguard’s long-awaited release at the end of October,BioWare’s art director has been sharing pieces of concept art from early in the game’s development, including the very first piece he did for the project.
Games these days take a long time to develop, and that was especially true for Dragon Age: The Veilguard, with developers like then concept artist, now art director Matt Rhodes already thinking up ideas for the follow-up to the not-yet-releasedDragon Age: Inquisition. One such piece, shared by Rhodes on Twitter, shows off the first piece of concept art he made for Veilguard, featuring a magister, slaves, and an adventurer in a foggy cityscape.
10 years after the initial concepts were made up by Rhodes and otherBioWareartists, it seems fair to say that the forward planning has paid off, with the game receiving plenty of positive attention from players and critics alike—our ownreviewincluded.
