Electronic Arts is enlisting the help of some big names to convince gamers to give Dragon Age: The Veilgard a try.

Both multiple Oscar winner Hans Zimmer and Grammy winner Lorne Balfe have co-composed the soundtrack. According to EA, this is the first time in ten years that Hans Zimmer has co-composed a video game soundtrack.
"Epic stories lend themselves to epic scores, and the narrative tapestry BioWare has woven in The Veilguard never left me wanting for inspiration, be it during the game’s moments of shining heroism or darkest emotional pitfalls. I’m proud to have shared the journey of creating the musical backdrop for the latest Dragon Age adventure with Lorne and the entire design team," said Hans Zimmer.
And Lorne Balfe added: "The world of Dragon Age is an unprecedented immersive experience, and never more so than in Dragon Age: The Veilguard. Crafting this score alongside Hans Zimmer has allowed us to bring an epic new majesty to the realm of Thedas, bringing these characters and their stories to the next level. I cannot wait for people to play this game."
The official soundtrack album can be pre-ordered on iTunes and Amazon Music from 18 October. It will be released on 1 November, the day after the game is released.
