The original waltz, "Fascination", written in 1904, and quite fitting to the game: composed by a man who had italian origins, but written in france.

Do you ever think he imagined people still like his song?

diluc having barely any lore-relevant appearences in-game for well over a year (or more depending on how much you treat hyv as completely glossing over his lack of vision in hidden strife as lore) is so funny bcs diluc stans will hang onto his every word and appearence

There's nothing funnier than two Civ nerds watching the Civ 7 Gameplay Showcase and geeking out about: 'Oh you can go up rivers now! :D'

and the other friend who knows absolutely nothing about it sitting there listening in silence, probably going: 'what do you mean you couldn't go up rivers???'

Do we have a confirmed date for Gamescom 2024?

Assuming it’s going ahead at all this year.

remembering the cool pair of knockoff chucks I used to have as a teen

they were by the brand Kingsway, were bright red with a cool Chinese dragon print in white around the ankle area. I used to thread jingle bells on the laces (inspired by a friend of a friend) and annoyed everyone at school with them whenever I walked the halls during recess

The Art of Dragon Age: The Veilguard Deluxe edition (DA:TV artbook bonus stuff). [source, via]

"The deluxe edition features: - An elegant foil-stamped slipcase and cover - Gilded pages - A ribbon book marker - Two lithographic art prints housed in a sleek portfolio" [source]

It looks like the two lithographic prints are this mural (which is from the 2020 TGA teaser iirc) and this art of Solas with a wolf by Matt Rhodes (which is from the Gamescom 2020 video iirc). The packaging's color theme-ing is black and gold, reminding of this version (that pic is from 2021) of the game's branding/color theme-ing, and also of course bringing to mind the Golden/Black City. the Golden/Black City was featured on the vinyl cover arts.

The knife here on this cover looks like the 'blue lyrium' [?] dagger, but also simultaneously not like it.

This artbook cover one is more gnarled in appearance and the 'ring' of the handle isn't complete (the way the 'broken' handle could almost be an Evanuris headpiece-shape... if it was a bit more symmetrical, it would look like Elgar'nan's headpiece).

It has extra spiky bits protruding off it too and it looks like something is growing on it. Maybe this is what happens if/when the blue [lyrium?] dagger becomes red (Blighted)? because this gnarled kinda vibe reminds me a bit of Meredith's sword Certainty in DA2, and of that body horror way in which red lyrium growth looks on people. It also reminds me of the tendrils of Blight corruption on walls and the ground and stuff in DA:TV screenshots, and the gnarled red lyrium darkspawn we've seen (look at this darkspawn's back for example).

Or maybe there's simply more than one dagger? There's two rising Evil Gods.

in the background of that image is the now-familiar geometric patterning with the concentric rings around the outside that tend to represent the Veil, and also the multiple almooost-overlapping circles/spheres inside that is suggestive of an eclipse* (something which we can see in the DA:TV screenshot with the dragon, which keeps coming up, which speaks to a lot of the pertinent imagery/symbolism e.g. Elgar'nan overthrowing his father the Sun and darkening the sky, and something which to me makes sense in a Witcher-style Conjunction of the Spheres kinda vibe, multiple realms colliding, like, if you tear down the Veil, you're bringing two 'bodies' or realms together to 'overlap' once again - the Fade and the waking world). [*in the 'eclipse' link there it's just searching the word on my blog btw, since I've banged on and on about that lots before and I don't wanna repeat myself loads in this post hhh]. the placement of the dagger over that design and what it represents makes sense; as we saw in the gameplay reveal video, the dagger was part of Solas' ritual to tear down the Veil/move the Evanuris prison.

On this cover, we can see two eyeballs in two of the corners (the eyes remind me of the Inquisition hairy eyeball, the eye motifs cropping up around Lucanis, Pride, and the Fade peacock feather/eye motif [image from this post]). in the other two corners is a sword that reminds again of Certainty. Meredith brandishing the sword is part of this DA:TV mural in the bottom left, underneath Ghil. surely not a coincidence. :D maybe a Certainty-like sword is the final corrupted form of the dagger, or one of them? in TN, the red lyrium idol changed shape enough that a ritual-blade sprang from its base.

the background of this middle cover also contains triangles, reminding of ancient elven artifacts and ancient elven magic-tech (like with Bellara, the Veil Jumpers etc) and the recurring triangle symbols in DA art around Fade/Veil/magic-y stuff (example from the Tevinter Nights map below).

The cover on the right has more geometric patterns, circles, rings etc. (all these patterns remind of the art in the vinyl booklet btw). and, in the center, the eye again. 👁️

Those attending TennoVIP at Gamescom 2024 got a special first look at Koumei & the Five Fates: the next update coming to Warframe this fall!

Eagle-eyed Tenno will recognize this as our cleverly named "Unannounced Fall Update" which was first discussed at TennoCon 2024. Unannounced no longer, this update was officially revealed as Koumei & the Five Fates alongside a brand-new Warframe and a new Nightwave Series with Stalker-themed Drifter and Operator customizations.

Jade Shadows fans can look forward to filling their Arsenals with some excellent equipment related to the brooding protector. This Nightwave Series will launch on September 3!

This latest rendition of TennoVIP also included a look at the new Volt Deluxe Skin, which will be sprinting into Koumei & the Five Fates later this year. You can see the new design for yourself below!

While not a part of Koumei & the Five Fates, TennoVIP attendees also rounded out the evening with a look at a different upcoming Warframe: Cyte-09. This tactical talent — whose related Protoframe you may recognize as Quincy from this year's TennoLive demo — will arrive with Warframe: 1999 this winter. However, those at our Gamescom community event got a first look at his design in-game for the first time! Now this latest sneak peek is available to the viewing public at large.

Last but certainly not least was a gorgeous new tease featuring Lettie — the Trinity Protoframe — as depicted in the upcoming Warframe: 1999 animation by The Line. You'll get to know more about The Hex's stern medical expert much as the months roll on, but for now you can enjoy this latest look in our first Production Diary update!
