Til trods for stærke singleplayer-spil på markedet, så vil nogle central figurer i spilbranchen mene, at spil må og skal have live-elementer, fokus på kooperativt spil og tung online-integration for at kunne få succes på markedet. Én af disse er Electronic Arts, og derfor er der mange der er bekymrede for om hvorvidt Anthem kan nydes alene.
Bioware har nu bekræftet, at hvis du nyder at spille et stort, sprudlende rollespil på egen hånd, så vil Anthem også være for dig. Direktøren for Bioware, Casey Hudson, har sagt følgende i et blogindlæg:
"I think the reason people are concerned about whether these things are possible in a multiplayer game is because it just hasn't been solved well before. With Anthem, we're taking this problem head-on and structuring the entire game design to provide a specific solution for this."
"It's true--we're trying something really different here. Anthem represents one way to deliver innovation and new experiences in the spirit of our mission. We also have teams envisioning future BioWare games, and they're designing approaches that are different from Anthem--including one that's very Dragon Age. As we try new things, I hope that you'll come on the journey with us, and continue asking questions that will help shape Anthem into something we'll all love to play."
Vi ser meget snart spillet i aktion ved EA's Play-begivenhed i juni.
