A new game, particularly one ten years in the making after a GOTY-winning sequel, underperforming by a full 50% is dire. You’ll also notice from the wording there that it says “engaged” not “sold,” as this number includes those who might have played via EA Play. So sales are likely not much above a million.

It looks like Dragon Age: The Veilguard has received its last major update, if its patch notes are anything to go by. EA recently revealed that the game reached 1.5 million players, which is 50% less than its expectations. This has apparently led the publisher to pull the plug on post-launch support in just three months.

BioWare is now expected to focus its full attention on the new Mass Effect game.
