'There's strong demand for Dragon Age: Veilguard' says EA

The cast of characters is more variedly coloured than a box of fruit loops, but it doesn't completely break immersion because it's an international magic school, it would be strange to not have people from all around the world.
But it's definitely a little bit on the nose.

But there was a major push to get mainstream buy in with the leadup to the launch of SSKTJL. Constantly mentioning how it's an integral part of the Arkhamverse and releasing all those developer's videos in a last-ditch effort to convince everyone that it was just another Arkhamverse game but with gunplay and different protagonists than Batman. No one fell for it because of the disastrous reveal at the State Of Play nine months prior.
It's very hard for things to slip through. Gamers aren't stupid. While not everyone is plugged in daily and active participants in forums or news sites, a garbage product is almost always sussed out for what it is and the word is on the street for anyone willing to listen well before the product launches in most cases.

It's not really international, it's just famous. Depending on how concrete the lore actually is, Hogwarts is generally just for the UK with other schools serving other global areas:

Hedging their bets while trying to create hype/buzz is a big red flag. “Hey MARKET!!! Our game is expected to sell within our expectations!”.

Since Avowed was pushed back and AC Shadows has now been delayed, I think that Dragon Age doesn’t have any other big cinematic AAA RPG game in it’s way. It will have an open November and December all by itself to perform.
Weird how that kind of worked out for them.

LOL.
Every CEO or VP or even joe schmo low level desk jobber will promote their products are hyped up awesomeness. Never believe that shit. The only thing to believe are the actual numbers.
Any time you hear a big wig say vague stock pumping terms like:
"encouraging results"
"our leadership team strongly believes...."
"strong momentum"
Or any other vague shit. Toss that into the garbage. Now if they want to commit to saying stuff like that PLUS stating their sales or earnings or margins will increase by 5% or 50 cents/share, that's totally different. When they commit to that, wall street banks that as paved in stone.
