Anthem: BioWare Reveals More On Matchmaking And Weapons
BioWare has done a great job so far answering fan’s questions on Twitter regarding their anticipated co-operative shoot n’ loot game Anthem. Both Lead Producer Michael Gamble and Executive Producer Mark Darrah have shed light on storyline events in the game and how the world will change periodically. Anthem is going to be a massive game, no doubt, but what about some of the more minute aspects surrounding the experience? Well, it was only a matter of time until another AMA for the two veteran devs would come. Over the past week the team has answered even more questions and now we have a little bit of a highlight reel of some of the more pertinent topics discussed:
