When do we return to Thedas?

Dragon Age: The Veilguard gameplay and story details
In what might be a clever nod to the time between game releases, Dragon Age: The Veilguard is set 10 years after Dragon Age: Inquisition.
Unlike with the previous titles, you won’t be able to import your world state from your previous game's save. After creating your character (including lineage, fighting class, and backstory), the rich world of Thedas will be open to us again... well, sort of.
Rather than open-world exploration, players will travel using the Eluvian network. And in another change to the gameplay, the combat is more real-time action than tactical. This might upset a few fans, but we hope the Dragon Age spirit remains, and we'll grow to love it.
Fans will be very glad to hear, however, that actor Claudia Black is returning as Morrigan.
