Some nasty bugs are still present and the game keeps occasionally crashing on me now and then for no apparent reason, but many of the biggest issues have been dealt with in these twelve months. The Anthem today is so vastly improved over the Anthem that BioWare launched around that time last year. He could not have said it better, I think. “Over the last year, the team has worked hard to improve stability, performance and general quality of life while delivering three seasons of new content and features. We have also heard your feedback that Anthem needs a more satisfying loot experience, better long-term progression and a more fulfilling end game.” It is one of the best parts of the game today! From The Art of Anthem book we learned that in according an earlier designs the Javelins were not able to fly, but instead they traversed Bastion climbing up and down. I cannot tell if I would have stayed with the game if those two were not so insanely fun and entertaining. There is no doubt that most of us fell in love with the flying and combat gameplay elements of Anthem. Anthem should be the last “live service” product that releases in a half-finished state and uses its playerbase as a beta (some even called it alpha) testers. It is true that the learning curve has been steep, but I hope they really learned their lessons. I am so proud of the work the team has put into this game, and at the same time there’s so much more that we – and you – would have wanted from it.“ “ It has been a thrill for us to see the creativity of our players in designing customized Javelins, and watching them master Anthem’s flying and fighting gameplay. There is no doubt that those of use who stayed with the game and kept our hopes up, have a reason to celebrate now that Anthem 2.0 (or whatever they decide to call this project) has been confirmed officially. The segmented launch did not help get us all in at the same time and the many (many!) gameplay and server issues the game was riddled with, actually blew up in BioWare’s face as many started canceling their pre-orders or simply asked for a refund. Scene from the Anthem Demo – Matthias has just multiplied himselfĬasey opens up with a honest statement, calling the launch of the game “an exhilarating and terrifying experience”. Perhaps this was the biggest reason why Anthem failed in the eyes of many players – because it was so very different in almost every aspect when we compared the E3 demo and the actual product on release. Later it turned out that this demo did not represent the game, but was actually a stand-alone production created with one single purpose – to make us all believe in the BioWare magic and get us hyped for the upcoming game. It was over-hyped after we all saw that E3 demo the previous year. It was an exhilarating and terrifying experience to go out to the world with something new and different, and we are grateful to all the players who have come along with us on the journey.”Īnthem was one of the most anticipated video game titles for 2019. “One year ago, we were preparing to launch Anthem – a game that represented a big leap into new territory for us as a studio. Share your own thoughts in the comments, especially if you think differently than me! I will split it up in pieces and analyze it for you below. Casey’s post came about a week or two earlier, but I am happy it did, because the waiting and the rumors were so annoying!Ĭasey’s blog post does not tell much, but reveals a few key details about the studio’s plans for 2020 (and beyond). The official one was February 22nd (if you want to know). I have to admit – I was expecting this closer to the release date of the game, but with the segmented launch Anthem had, it is actually hard to pin-point a release date.
The game will continue to function in the meantime with some smaller and regular updates, patches and store refreshes. Until today! A new short blog post on the studio’s blog page reveals the intentions from the dev team towards Anthem – a complete redesign of all core game features and ideas.
