In a new message to fans, BioWare general manager Casey Hudson has marked the one-year anniversary of Anthem by admitting that while the team was proud of what it had achieved, <em>\u201cthere\u2019s so much more that we \u2013 and you \u2013 would have wanted from it.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>In an official Anthem Update blog post, Hudson says <em>\u201cwe recognise\u00a0that there\u2019s still more fundamental work to be done to bring out the full potential of the experience, and it will require a more substantial reinvention than an update or expansion.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>The big question mark dangling over this is just how comprehensive a rebirth EA and BioWare intend to give Anthem. Are we just looking at some loot drop tweaks and weapon balancing, or is this something huge, akin to Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn? History tells us it\u2019s more likely to be closer to the former than the latter, but BioWare is also a studio which can ill afford cocking it up again.<\/p>\n<p>The way Hudson describes it, the overhaul sounds as if it may not be enough for some. <em>\u201cOver the coming months we will be focusing on a longer-term redesign of the experience, specifically working to reinvent the core gameplay loop with clear goals, motivating challenges and progression with meaningful rewards \u2013 while preserving the fun of flying and fighting in a vast science-fantasy setting,\u201d<\/em> wrote Hudson in the post. <em>\u201cAnd to do that properly we\u2019ll be doing something we\u2019d like to have done more of the first time around \u2013 giving a focused team the time to test and iterate, focusing on gameplay first.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><ins class=\"adsbygoogle scrolling-ad-item\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0052787453283862\" data-ad-slot=\"2741061911\"><\/ins><\/p>\n<p>The plan for BioWare now is to keep Anthem ticking along as is, including running various events and store refreshes, as well as<em> \u201crevisiting\u201d<\/em> past cataclysm content. Last we saw, Anthem was still decked out in its Christmas decorations last week, so it\u2019s certainly about time for a refresh.<\/p>\n<p>If you were a betting person, it could pay off to pick up Anthem dirt cheap now in anticipation of the price being jacked up again for the 2.0 launch. There\u2019s an inherent risk there though, obviously, in buying what is currently a poor game and hoping BioWare pulls it out of the mire.<\/p>\n<p>According to a recent Up For Debate, the majority of you have little or no faith left in BioWare so it\u2019ll certainly be interesting to see both whether BioWare can turn the quality of Anthem around and successfully drive interest in gamers actually giving it another shot.<\/p>\n<p>What do you think then, is Anthem a wreck worth salvaging? What would need to change for your to get back on board?
