BioWare has revealed more details about Dragon Age: The Veilguard's seven companions.

Following its PC and combat spotlight last week, the studio has officially kicked off what it's calling the «Companion's Week» part of its roadmap ahead of the release of its next Dragon Age game.

In an updated blog post, BioWare offered new insight into the characters you'll be able to recruit as the playable hero Rook with updated character profiles, including Harding, Davrin, Bellara, Taash, Lucanis, Emmrich, and Neve. 

We've already seen sneak peeks of the characters through the 20-minute gameplay demo and the release date trailer the studio has previously released, but now we finally have confirmation on how these companions will aid you in battle, as well as what faction and class they belong to. 

You can take a look at their character profiles below, but we know that there will be two warriors, two rogues, and three mages available for you to build a party. As for what exactly their abilities do, BioWare could potentially release additional gameplay teasers showcasing each character  in action as we proceed through Companion's Week.
