Since its launch on October 31st, there’s been some anticipation about the sales of BioWare’s Dragon Age: The Veilguard. While more extensive data from other regions is yet to arrive, GamesIndustry’s Christopher Dring revealed that it performed “almost exactly the same” in the UK as Dragon’s Dogma 2 and Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth.
“It’s hard to know what EA’s expectations were, but it seems fine. It’s not earth-shattering, but it isn’t terrible.” On the GIBiz Microcast with editor-in-chief James Batchelor, Dring said he didn’t see a “huge amount” of marketing from Electronic Arts leading up to release. He also revealed that The Veilguard did “a little less” than Star Wars Outlaws, though it’s not far off.
The other major release of last month, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, is still performing well. It’s behind Helldivers 2 in sales across Europe and trailing EA Sports FC 25 and EA Sports FC 24, the current top two-selling games in the UK.
As for Dragon Age: The Veilguard, stay tuned for more details on its sales in the coming weeks. It’s available for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC. Check out our review here.
I talked about it on the podcast that’s just gone up. Did almost exactly the same (in the UK) as Dragon’s Dogma 2 and Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth. It’s hard to know what EA’s expectations were, but it seems fine. It’s not earth shattering, but it isn’t terrible
