BioWare is centerin its energies on an overhaul for Anthem that would shake astir the fundamentals to deliver an entirely new secret plan undergo, termed "Anthem Next" (via Kotaku).

Kotaku's sources allege that the publisher and developer are "trying to integrate the heterogeneous parts of the game together" utilising the teams at Austin, Lone-Star State, and Edmonton, Alberta, Canada to address Anthem's "core issues". After a debatable development process, Anthem is considered to be devoid of excitement. If its developers are attempting to balance live suffer with a sober overhaul, it's zero wonder that BioWare chose to end content-heavy Acts for "seasonal updates".

The swag, quests, sociable features, trouble, progression system, and world of Anthem are all foundering the knife, according to the report. "We played out a couple of months just tearing it down and reckoning proscribed what needed to change fundamentally (a mickle)," said an unknown source. "And we've been rebuilding for another few months since." Indefinite especially stimulating change is that the world wish be broken up into zones instead of staying as one day-and-night map. This would let developers add to and fix these zones without causing a ripple effect of unforeseen glitches elsewhere.

"We'atomic number 75 also looking at breaking up the need to go back to [Fort Tarsis] after all mission," said unmatched source, "and what a mission technically is. That was always a Wyrd unplug. [We're] trying to integrate the disparate parts of the pun together." There is no evident timeline for "Hymn Close", and it might represent staggered in sequential updates, Beaver State it might release in an expansion, Oregon it might be a totally standalone game. What is known is that Anthem players won't be paying untasted price for "Close".

It's important to remember that this is hearsay, and EA did not scuttlebutt on Kotaku's report. However, if this is true, it marks a momentous turnaround for a project blighted with misdirection, conflicts, and comminute. In the meantime, Anthem volition be decking the halls of Garrison Tarsis with snow and sparkly lights soon to celebrate the Icetide season, and MBD a blade new Freelancer Time Trial to boot.
