In the weeks and months following launch, Bioware promised to make Anthem better. And they seemingly tried with a handful of updates, patches, and bug fixes. The Season of Skulls and Icetide brought some new challenges, events, and rewards to the game, but end-game loot and progression still left some wanting.
In that time, the initial roadmap was scrapped, and a full-fledged change was never implemented. With increasingly stale content — and the fact that Christmas decorations were still up a few days ago — it became unclear if Anthem would ever get its “reboot.”
But the recent blog post seems to point to the opposite:
In short, Bioware is aiming to reshape the game into something a bit more palatable, which is a good thing for those that bounced off of it. What this new roadmap will look like is currently anyone’s guess.
It’s a shame things have gone so poorly for Anthem, though, as the flying and the concepts are quite fun. It was, after all, the best-selling game in February 2019. Good ideas aren’t enough to carry a game through the dark times, but maybe this overhaul will be?
