BioWare heeft Patch 1 voor Dragon Age: The Veilguard uitgebracht, die niet alleen een aantal bugfixes bevat, maar ook een speciale cosmetische set.

Een opvallend onderdeel van de update is de N7 Day-kleding: een elegante rode en zwarte armor set, compleet met een Mass Effect-stijl helm. Deze is te verkrijgen na het voltooien van de Harding-missie “The Singing Blade”, waarbij het harnas wordt aangetroffen naast de Werkplaats in het Lighthouse-gebied. Deze toevoeging maakt deel uit van BioWare’s jaarlijkse vieringen van Mass Effect, die dit jaar ook de aankondiging van een nieuwe Mass Effect-tv-serie bij Amazon omvatte.
