Dragon Age: The Veilguard is set to be the first game in the series without any post-launch DLC plans as developer BioWare pivots toward the upcoming Mass Effect 5.

Speaking to Rolling Stone, Dragon Age: The Veilguard creative director John Epler reportedly reiterated that the new fantasy RPG wouldn't follow in its predecessors' footsteps as the studio has no current plans for future additions. Dragon Age has had various fan favorite expansions over the years, but the sudden change is supposedly the result of BioWare's "full attention" entirely shifting to the next Mass Effect game currently in development.
