The story of Anthem seems to be in good hands, as the lead writer of the first “Mass Effect” games is working on the cooperative shooter.
The unveiling of Anthem, the new game from BioWare, which was previously known only as “Project Dylan,” has caused a lot of excitement at this year’s E3. In a scripted gameplay trailer, viewers got to see quite a bit of the world. Humanity has retreated behind walls, and only a few chosen ones with their exo-suits dare to venture into the wilderness.
However, alongside stunning graphics and cool effects, Anthem left many questions unanswered. What about the story of the game? Are all missions just randomly thrown together?

While there is still no clear answer to the question of the game’s scope, the story seems to be in the best hands. On Twitter, Drew Karpyshyn has now stated that he is working on Anthem.
If the name doesn’t ring a bell: Karpyshyn was the lead writer for Mass Effect 1 and 2, as well as being heavily involved in the development of Star Wars: The Old Republic, Knights of the Old Republic, and Jade Empire. Additionally, he has published several books that have been well-received by fans.
However, more than a confirmation that Karpyshyn is working on Anthem has not yet been heard from him. Most details about the game will likely still be classified, and BioWare is not exactly known for spoiling the story of a game in full beforehand.
In any case, concerned fans will likely feel somewhat reassured that Anthem offers more than just visuals and lacks a story. When looking at Karpyshyn’s past, a thrilling story for Anthem seems very likely.
