BioWare has largely shifted its focus away from Dragon Age: The Veilguard, but the dedicated team that remains has managed to surprise fans by introducing a small DLC weapons pack. The Rook’s Weapons Appearance Offer was quietly added to the game’s Steam page, offering free cosmetic content to players. This move comes as a pleasant surprise, especially after EA indicated that Dragon Age: The Veilguard would not receive significant support moving forward. The fifth patch released in January had emphasized fixing game-breaking bugs, making this new content feel like an unexpected gift, even if it's modest in scope.
The Rook’s Weapons Appearance Offer is exclusively available to current owners and those who purchase the game on PC before April 8, 2025. Although the specifics of the bundle's contents are not detailed, the community has discovered that it includes a set of Watchful skins accessible in the Rook’s in-game room. It remains uncertain whether this offer will extend to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X | S versions of the game.
Player feedback on the new skins has been mixed but generally positive. One Steam review noted, "Even if these appearances aren't the most, uh, beautiful things ever, they do give spooky eldritch horror vibes!" Similarly, a Redditor commented, "It's cosmetic DLC, but it's essentially free DLC for a game that's practically no longer getting newer content. I'll live with that."

Dragon Age: The Veilguard received positive reviews upon its October launch, but according to EA, it did not capture a broad enough audience. In late January, key team members announced their departure from BioWare, as the studio experienced layoffs and staff reassignments. EA informed IGN that BioWare was now fully focused on the next installment in the Mass Effect series.
Dragon Age: The Veilguard was included in the PlayStation Plus March 2025 titles, just four months after its release. No further plans for the game's future have been disclosed.
