The latest Dragon Age game celebrated a massive launch across the world with many players liking the new approach of the series, but every story-driven game comes to an end eventually, and so does Dragon Age: The Veilguard.
That being said, there are many games out there that could fill in the empty place that you may feel after finishing The Veilguard. There are many RPG games with customizable characters and branching stories that are set in magical worlds, where the players can upgrade their character while making progress.
Of course, Dragon Age comes with some unique gameplay mechanics that are hard to find in other games, but still, if you are looking for a fantasy RPG with engaging storytelling, there are plenty of options that you can enjoy.
10. Monster Hunter World
Co-op Oriented RPG With High Replayability Value
- Platforms: PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PC
- Release Year: 2018
- Game Modes: Single-Player, Online Multiplayer (Co-op)

Monster Hunter World might not have a strong story to tell, but the game is indeed quite addictive and comes with a lot of deep mechanics that can keep players entertained for a long time.
This is a great game for players who wouldn’t mind grinding for better gear. For those who have friends to play it with, Monster Hunter World could be an amazing game. It has a decent learning curve and a wide variety of classes, gears, and weapons to explore.
9. The Elder Scrolls Online
Endless Character Builds In An Ever-Growing Universe
- Platforms: PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PC
- Release Year: 2014
- Game Modes: Online Multiplayer (MMO)
- Price: $20
The Elder Scrolls Online is one of those games that will eventually require the player to buy all the expansions to deliver the ultimate joy. However, we suggest all players start small and taste the vanilla game before spending big.
After all, The Elder Scrolls Online is an MMO, which means the grind level is much higher compared to the single-player games. The story might not be as strong as Skyrim, but the universe is quite big.
However, keep in mind that The Elder Scrolls Online uses old tech, and the game comes with lots of loading screens for transitioning from one region to another, or from interior to exterior spaces.
8. Last Epoch
A Classic Action RPG Inspired By The Diablo Series
- Platforms: PC
- Release Year: 2024
- Game Modes: Single-Player, Online Multiplayer (Co-op)
- Price: $35
For those who wouldn’t mind playing an action RPG with an isometric camera, Last Epoch should be a great choice. It doesn’t come with a brilliant story, but the gameplay is quite deep and highly replayable.
Last Epoch is heavily inspired by the Diablo series and delivers the same gameplay styles. During the campaign, players venture into multiple distinct biomes and regions, facing a wide variety of enemies and bosses.
Last Epoch also comes with significant endgame content that, of course, requires players to grind for higher levels by completing multiple dungeons and missions again and again.

Strong Storytelling With Continuous Content Support

Diablo 4 is the latest installment from the world’s most popular dungeon-crawling action RPG series in the world. It’s no secret that the game offers a deep gameplay mechanic that can be fully customized.
The amount of content provided for players in Diablo 4 is just massive, and developers continue to expand it even more by delivering new updates every now and then.
The only downside for Diablo 4 is that it always requires online connection even if the player wants to enjoy the campaign solely.
6. Middle-Earth: Shadow of War
Unique RPG Gameplay Elements In Rich Settings

Not as new as the other games on the list, but Middle-Earth: Shadow of War is still a decent RPG game with interesting similarities with Dragon Age: The Veilguard that is worth giving a try.
Set in the rich setting of the Middle-Earth, Shadow of War allows players to take part in epic battles and capture different sectors of the open world map by defeating bosses that control the region.
5. Baldur’s Gate 3
Deep Gameplay, Well-Written Characters, And Compelling Story
- Platforms: PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC
- Release Year: 2023

The best game of 2023 is also one of the best RPG titles ever. Probably the only thing that sets Baldur’s Gate 3 apart from Dragon Age: The Veilguard is its isometric camera.
The world of Baldur’s Gate 3 is massive, and the amount of content is unbelievable. One playthrough will not reveal all the secrets in this game, and that’s why there are still many players exploring Baldur’s Gate 3 over a year after its launch.
4. Final Fantasy 16
A Single-Player Story-Driven Adventure In An Open-World
- Platforms: PS5, PC

Japanese games usually come with their own set of unique storytelling elements, but there is no doubt that Final Fantasy 16 was a new benchmark in the franchise and an epic journey for every RPG lover.
The game’s fantasy world is rich, and it comes with lots of stories, whether through the main campaign or by following side-quests. As a fully single-player experience, Final Fantasy 16 is pretty hard to ignore for any Dragon Age fan.
3. Hogwarts Legacy
The Best Ever Game Based On The Harry Potter’s Universe
- Platforms: PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Switch, PC
- Release Year: 2023
- Game Modes: Single-Player

If magic builds are what you love the most about Dragon Age: The Veilguard, then why not take a trip to Hogwarts? There is no doubt that Hogwarts Legacy is the best video game adaptation from J.K. Rowling’s beloved universe.
