As can be seen in the image below, the game failed to make it into the list of the top 30 most wishlisted games on Steam. Many other projects with much lower marketing spend sit higher on the list, indicating low interest among numerous fans of the well-known franchise.
For comparison, Deadlock and Hollow Knight: Silksong hold the second and third spots, respectively, while Monster Hunter Wilds takes first place thanks to a massive fandom. It seems positive reviews from the press have not significantly influenced interest in The Veilguard.
One preview even called the game a contender for “Game of the Year”. Other previews also highlight the positive aspects of the game.
Currently, the game sits at 118th place among Steam bestsellers, just a month before release. EA recently claimed that demand for the game is high, but the statistics suggest otherwise.
There is still time before the release of Dragon Age: The Veilguard. BioWare might still manage to sway the audience.
