Dragon Age games in story order

Dragon Age: Origins

It’s a bit clunky now at the age of 15, but as the title suggests, Origins is where the Dragon Age saga began. We play as The Warden, a new recruit to a warrior order called the Gray Wardens, who must help prevent the Fifth Blight and defeat a god now corrupted by creatures called Darkspawn.

Origins can still be played on modern consoles by purchasing it from the digital storefront or on your Xbox Or PC.

Dragon Age 2

Next up is Dragon Age 2, which takes place almost immediately after the events of Origins. The land of Ferelden has been invaded by the darkspawn and we play as Hawke who flees to safety in Thedas.

Taking place over a decade, we follow her rise (depending on the gender you choose) to power in a period of political upheaval.

Dragon Age 2 is still available in digital storefronts for Xbox And PC.

Dragon Age: Inquisition

A year after the events of Dragon Age 2, a civil war breaks out in southern Thedas, and this time we take on the role of the Inquisitor. A tear in the Veil releases demons into Thedas, so we are tasked with restoring order using magical abilities that lead many to believe we are “the chosen one.”

Inquisition can still be purchased digitally at Xbox, PlayStation And PC.

Dragon Age: The Veilkeeper

A decade has passed in both the real and fictional worlds since the events of Inquisition. A ritual goes wrong and two elven gods are released into Thedas, intent on world domination. We play as another new character called Rook, who must lead a team against them.

The Veilguard will be available on Xbox Series X/S, PS5 And PC from October 31, 2024.
