A new era for the world of Thedas begins this month in Dragon Age: The Veilguard, and Dark Horse is planning to celebrate the launch of the game with several new collectibles. Not only are there some exquisitely detailed art books to look forward to, but fans can also get their hands on some fine art in the form of a sixth-scale statue and a map of the Dragon Age world so that you'll never get lost while adventuring. These will be available through the Dark Horse Direct store.

First up, there's the $60 World of Thedas map that you can frame and hang on your wall. Illustrated by Francesca Baerald, this is an ornate piece of art that shows off the various lands of Dragon Age, and each location is enhanced by illustrations of characters, monsters, and dragons. It reimagines the land as it exists in Dragon Age: The Veilguard and it measures an impressive 24 inches in width and 18 inches in height. This is expected to arrive by Winter 2025, and preorders for it will close on November 5.

Then there's a lovely replica of Neve Gallus, the Tevinter mage who works as a private investigator out of Minrathous and is one of the companions who'll join you in the new game. This statue features her in an alert pose, and it'll catch your eye with all of its small details. From her ornate leather armor to her snake-inspired fashion accessories, this replica of Neve has a commanding presence.

Made of Polyresin, the statue stands 11.3 inches tall and comes with a hand-numbered base. This collectible has been crafted by Bigshot Toyworks--with prototyping and paint by JW Productions-- and is limited to just 1,000 units. It's expected to be released by Summer 2025.
