Anthem is still causing image problems for BioWare. Each time we see more of the game, debate swirls around the studio’s departure from single-player storytelling, for which it is so well known, into cooperative multiplayer action games.
No romances, no (NPC) companions to accompany you on your missions, no ultimate control over the fate of the world? What happened to the BioWare formula we know and love? What happened to Dragon Age and Mass Effect? Will the studio ever be the same again?
They’re questions BioWare has tried to answer already, but evidently the messaging hasn’t been convincing enough. It’s why BioWare general manager Casey Hudson felt the need to assure fans again Anthem will not permanently rewire the studio and its output.
