Hans Zimmer releases his Dragon Age: The Veilguard theme

Hans Zimmer has released his theme for Dragon Age: The Veilguard.

The Oscar-winning composer, who has composed for films such as Gladiator, The Dark Knight, and more, has composed the game’s main theme, which can be heard in the video below.

Music composed by Zimmer has previously appeared in Crysis 2, Arena of Valor, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

Zimmer’s co-composer, Lorne Balfe, who also co-composed this track, has previously composed music for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, Assassin’s Creed III, Assassin’s Creed: Revelations and Beyond: Two Souls, all of which received nominations for Best Original Music from the BAFTA Games Awards.

The Dragon Age: The Veilguard release date is October 31, 2024, for PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.

In a Veilguard preview published in June, VGC said the new Dragon Age could be BioWare back at its best.

“There were some understandable sour faces following Dragon Age’s showing at the Xbox Game Showcase, but we’re very happy to say that they are unfounded,” we wrote.

“Our demo was exciting, and engaging and made us desperate to see the next 50 to 100 hours of game. No Guardians of the Galaxy dialogue, no weird versions of pop classics, just a hulking Bioware RPG, something that’s been sadly missing in gaming for too long.”
