Anthem can be played solo – Has a “BioWare” story

There is additional information about Anthem (PS4, PC, Xbox One), the new shared-world action RPG from BioWare. The game is also said to be suitable for solo players and is designed to be played and expanded over months and years.

After the presentation of Anthem, there was also an interview with the game director of Anthem, Jonathan Warner.

We have already fast-forwarded to the right spot for the interview video. It is in English:

Social Hub Fort Tarsus – Freedom for the Players

Here is the new information:

• The open world is large. There is much to explore. It is the first time that BioWare can create such a world themselves.
• The settlement we saw in the video is Fort Tarsus, a social hub. Here, players can customize their Javelin exo-suits and take on quests.
• Players are supposed to play Anthem the way they want: with their friends or alone. The experience should be seamless. Players can complete Anthem entirely solo.

Humanity is at the Bottom of the Food Chain in Anthem

• As opponents, there are wild, terrifying creatures, but also other humans in exo-suits.
• Warner avoids the question of whether there will be PvP.

• Humanity is far down the food chain in this world – that’s why people only dare to go outside in their combat suits in order to have a chance to prevail.
• A focus of the game is how players customize their exo-suits. The game director says there are a lot of weapons in the game.
• BioWare wants to tell a “big BioWare story” in Anthem, but also give players room to experience their own stories, like with friends.

That’s Why Anthem is Named as it is

• No comment on “Will there be romantic relationships in Anthem?” – the Mass Effect question.
• Anthem is designed to be played over months and years. The world is constructed in such a way that it can be expanded.
• The name “Anthem” was chosen because an anthem unites a group of people. That’s what they want with the game. It should create a sense of camaraderie among players.
