No one knows why they went, but they’re gone.
The gods who were creating this world left behind massive Shaper technology that’s scattered everywhere. The world of Anthem is one that was unfinished by the gods – that’s essentially the core of what it is. How did you go about creating the rich world of Anthem that we’ve seen so far?Īt the genesis of any IP, you kind of define the sandbox and the building blocks that you’re able to work with. One of the big challenges of a new universe like this one is that it’s a big blank canvas that needs to be filled. It’s very much a living hub, and a place where we can tell some pretty cool stories.
Different factions are represented, such as the Arcanists, the Freelancers, and the Sentinels – each playing a different role within Tarsis. It’s a large, sprawling city, but more importantly it’s filled with all different kinds of characters. Tarsis is a place where humanity feels safe in the world of Anthem. Can you describe some of the thought behind the unique design of this city-fortress? One location we’ve seen a lot of is Fort Tarsis. As you can tell, he’s kind of jolly and upbeat, but he’s also a deep and interesting guy. He plays a very important part of the game’s critical path. You and Haluk go back a long way, and you have some really complicated history. Yeah, I mean there are many, but from the ones that we’re revealing now, I like Haluk quite a bit. Do you have any characters from Anthem that have stuck out as favorites? To solve it, the game team built these different kinds of personal and shared story moments into the DNA of the game.īioWare has always produced incredible characters in their games. And, of course, there are technological challenges regarding saving your own personal choices within this larger context.īridging those things is one of the major challenges, and this is something we’ve worked hard on. You have to make sure that the personal story choices and the missions blend and seem seamless. But, when that’s done, we go back, and we make choices, and have follow-up dialogue separately with the characters in the world. So, you and I are grouped up, and we’re going on the same mission together and share the same action. What creative challenges does that present? So the story is told in single-player, but the game is built around a shared world. The Challenges of Telling a Single-Player Story in a Shared World The world of Anthem is a shared, cooperative experience, so while you’re able to talk to characters inside your hub spaces, there’s a lot of emergent storytelling with your friends and companions that are part of your Freelancer squad.
Dialogue choices will be part of the interaction with these characters, and those choices are personal, and based on what I as a player want to do.
What you’ll see are hub areas within the game that are filled with the kind of characters that you’ve come to love from BioWare games. This is done through the concept of “Our shared world – my personal story.” We’ve focused a lot on being able to tell a BioWare-quality story, with BioWare-quality characters, in a social environment. How will that play out in the story? What narrative innovations can we expect from Anthem? We’ve heard during EA PLAY that Anthem represents the future of BioWare games. With the exciting and extensive EA PLAY showcase still fresh in memory, we sat down with the Lead Producer for Anthem™ Michael Gamble to talk about some of its innovative core elements and how they’re shaping a new era for BioWare™ games.
