Why was the game’s name changed from Dreadwolf to The Veilguard?

Dragon Age: The Veilguard / BioWare / EA

The game was originally named Dreadwolf after Solas, whose story is a major focus of the game. However, as explained in a blog post from the game’s director, the name was changed to shift the focus onto the game’s main companions, a team known as the Veilguard. This is the same as how the Inqusition was the main name for the team of companions in the previous game, which was titled in the same way.
