Bioware starting working on Anthem 6 years ago and with about a month to release the developer has sent a newsletter to the fans talking about the game and what it will have to offer. The developers mentioned that this is not the end. The launch of Anthem is going the be the beginning. Bioware made it clear that it will listen to fan feedback and implement it accordingly.
Studio GM Casey Hudson mentioned that the players are a critic element and that if they want more of something then that can be added to the game. He mentioned that if fans think something is not right then they can let the studio know about it. The following is what he had to say in this regard:
The launch of Anthem is not the end – it’s the beginning of an ongoing story in which you are a critical element. If there’s something you want more of, we can build it. If something isn’t right, let us know. And the story itself will unfold over time based on how you play the game. Soon, we will reveal more about our plans for how we intend to support that ongoing stream of content and features.
Anthem is an online game and we have seen that these games can become dull when your friends are not around. The lack of content can be a pain. Casey mentioned that Anthem has a bit of a twist and it will be fun with your friends and without them as well. The world of Anthem is supposed to be changing constantly and that is a unique idea. The following is what he had to say in this regard:
With Anthem, we aim to integrate the fun of multiplayer missions with your friends, and single-player story agency and characters, into a connected narrative experience – set in a world designed to be always changing, and where anything is possible. The result is an intentionally unique structure which is fundamental to Anthem’s design and even the universe it’s set in.
The private demo and beta are going to start soon, so you will be able to get a taste of what the game is going to offer. If you are interested in playing the game then be sure to check out our guide on the different Javelins that you will have access to in the game. Anthem will have matchmaking for all activities, so you will be able to find someone if you are not interested in playing it alone.
Let us know what you think about Anthem and whether or not you are interested in playing the game at launch.
