A lot of things hang in the balance when it comes to BioWare’s upcoming sci-fi title. With Anthem being announced on the heels of Mass Effect: Andromeda, players were understandably skeptical. Andromeda didn’t perform as well as many had hoped it would, and people still place the blame on Anthem for that. However, BioWare’s Casey Hudson is trying his best to destroy any doubt some may have for the game.

In a recent blog post, Hudson had many things to say about Anthem, and he even teases something about the incredibly popular franchise, Dragon Age. The purpose of the blog post is to clear the air on what BioWare is about, what they will continue to be, and what sort of games they will keep making. “Become the hero of your story” has been part of the same mantra the company has injected into their titles over the past 20 years, and that isn’t changing anytime soon.

Hudson recently stated that Anthem is “a story you can experience with friends.” In the post, he brings this up along with the questions that were brought up as a result. “Specifically, “what if I don’t want to play with randos?” “What if I don’t have friends that I play games with?” And, “I like to be the one making choices in my story—if it’s multiplayer, won’t the story get watered down?” He then went on to say:

As a player, I worry about these things too—which brings us to the last line of our mission: become the hero of your story. In a BioWare game, you should feel like the story is about you. You create your own character, you decide what happens next, and you become the hero.”

This includes the upcoming Anthem. In response to those who have questioned whether or not there will be solo play available in the game, Hudson confirmed that it will be there. Even though we have to wait for more details, he did have this to say:

“With Anthem we’re taking this problem head-on and structuring the entire game design to provide a specific solution for this. We’ll be sharing details on how it works very soon. We think it creates a unique experience where you have control over your own story, but your story is set in an ever-changing multiplayer world. And yes, even though Anthem is meant to bring out the best parts of playing as part of an online community, you can choose to play through the story with only your friends, or even on your own.”

But wait, there’s more! Hudson also touched on the future of BioWare titles, including something that is “very Dragon Age.” We don’t know about you, but that’s pretty exciting on its own. Here’s what he said:

“It’s true—we’re trying something really different here. Anthem represents one way to deliver innovation and new experiences in the spirit of our mission. We also have teams envisioning future BioWare games, and they’re designing approaches that are different from Anthem—including one that’s very Dragon Age. As we try new things, I hope that you’ll come on the journey with us, and continue asking questions that will help shape Anthem into something we’ll all love to play.”

Anthem remains release date-less, but EA’s Blake Jorgensen recently stated that they are being “conservative” with the whole thing. You can read more about that right here.
