About This Game

Select from three classes (Warrior, Mage, and Rogue), each with two distinct weapon types and unique abilities you can select between mid-combat. Experience new strategic depth as you combine fast-paced attacks, parries, and dodges with the companion ability wheel to exploit enemy weaknesses and seize victory with devastating combat combos. The Veilguard contains several different factions, any of these could prove to be important ally during the story. Your faction choice will influence Rook's backstory, conversation options and more.
