New Single-Player RPG Invites Players on a Bold, Heroic Adventure Through the Fantasy World of Thedas

REDWOOD CITY, Calif. – October 31, 2024 – Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: EA) and BioWare announced today that Dragon Age: The Veilguard is now available for PlayStation®5 (also enhanced for PS5 Pro), Xbox Series X|S and PC via Steam (Steam Deck Verified), EA app and Epic Games Store. This bold, heroic adventure is built to deliver on what the series is best known for: rich storytelling, fantasy worldbuilding, companions & fellowship, and a world where you matter. The next installment in BioWare’s beloved franchise has captivated critics worldwide, with outlets such as IGN and GamesRadar+ proclaiming it “deserves its place in the RPG pantheon” and is “A true return to RPG form for BioWare” in their 9/10 and 4.5/5 reviews.

In Dragon Age: The Veilguard, Solas, the Dread Wolf, wants to tear down the Veil that separates Thedas from the world of demons, restoring his people’s immortality and glory – even at the cost of countless lives. But his ritual goes awry, and his worst fears are realized, as two of his most ancient and powerful adversaries are released. Players will step into the role of Rook, a fully-customizable protagonist who must rise up and unite their companions to stop these two powerful deities on a journey that will span across Thedas’ bustling cities, lush tropics, boreal forests, fettered swamps and deepest depths.

“On behalf of everyone at BioWare, I want to thank you for joining us on our latest adventure,” said Gary McKay, Vice President/General Manager, BioWare; Executive Producer, Dragon Age: The Veilguard. “After years of careful planning, countless hours of expert work, and innumerable design decisions, Dragon Age: The Veilguard is ready.

Atomic Ambitions Expansion Adds Nuclear Power and More

STOCKHOLM – 31 October 2024 – The secrets of radioactivity unlock new strategic and development options in Atomic Ambitions, a new expansion for Millennia, the historical 4X strategy game from C Prompt Studios and Paradox Interactive. Power your empire with nuclear plants, avoiding the risks of meltdown or nuclear war.

Coming on 12 November, Atomic Ambitions adds new settings, new National Spirits and new military possibilities including a strategy DEFCON system that counts down to a bleak future in a dangerous wasteland.

Features of Millennia: Atomic Ambitions include:

• Uranium and Pollution: Power your atomic dreams with a new resource – uranium – at the risk of accumulating nuclear waste. Pre-nuclear ages will see the accumulation of pollution and biological waste, challenging you to manage the outputs of a human society.
• Age of Atom: A new Variant Age for Age 7, this timeline is inspired by early 20th-century imaginings of the future powered by atomic energy. Uranium is revealed on the map and waste-free reactors power your cities. Being too enthusiastic about the new technology runs the risk of meltdowns.
• Age of Wasteland: This Crisis Age for Age 9 is a science fiction setting made real. In the aftermath of a global nuclear war, cities lay desolate and the terrain is decorated with the scars of catastrophe. Scavenge the remnants of civilization for resources, fight fierce raiders and rebuild your society faster than your enemies to claim victory.
• DEFCON System: As the arms race heats up, keep rivals in line (and prevent panic amongst your population) by maintaining the largest nuclear arsenal. Tread carefully however, mistakes and aggressive actions can move the DEFCON level – maybe enough to trigger a global nuclear exchange.
• Three New National Spirits: Take full advantage of the new Strategic Warfare system early through the Siege Master National Spirit, which focuses on building siege weapons like Ballistae and Siege Towers. The Nuclear Superiority National Spirit gives you tools to dominate militarily during the Arms Race. The Flower Child National Spirit allows you to try to oppose nuclear weapons and bring the world to its senses before things get out of hand.
• Wasteland Start: Begin your game on a Wasteland map and relive the rise of civilization from a starting place more challenging than the Stone Age.
• Strategic Warfare: Additional strategic warfare options.

Millennia: Atomic Ambitions will be available on 12 November 2024 for the suggested retail price of $19.99/£16.99/€19.99. Atomic Ambitions is also available as a part of the Millennia Deluxe Edition.
