Highlights

  • Anthem's disappointing launch serves as a cautionary tale for studios attempting to develop live-service games, highlighting the importance of understanding their own strengths and the needs of players.
  • Despite its shortcomings, Anthem's unique and vibrant world holds untapped potential for future sequels or reboots that can fully deliver on the promise of an epic adventure.
  • While Anthem's initial release fell short, BioWare should consider reviving the franchise and giving it a second chance, especially if they can regain their reputation with upcoming releases like Dragon Age and Mass Effect.
