Anthem blev ett gigantiskt fiasko för både EA och Bioware, som dessutom skadat sistnämndas anseende rejält. Men lyckligtvis tänker inte Bioware ge sig, utan arbetar nu på att göra om spelet från grunden för att få det att nå full potential.
Men när kommer den nylanseringen då? Nu har Bioware själva kommenterat saken i ett längre inlägg samt i en uppföljande förklaring på Reddit. Där berättar Christian Dailey från studion att detta är ett arbete som kommer ta tid:
"The Anthem incubation team has kicked off and we are starting to validate our design hypotheses. Incubation is a term we use internally. It means we are going back and experimenting/prototyping to improve on the areas where we believe we fell short and to leverage everything that you love currently about Anthem. We are a small team - about 30-ish, earning our way forward as we set out to hit our first major milestone goals. Spoiler - this is going to be a longer process. And yes, the team is small but the whole point of this is to take our time and go back to the drawing board. And a small team gives us the agility a larger one can't afford.
We want to include you as we go and be open and honest with where we are at and what the expectations are with where we are going. The reality is you will see things that look awesome but end up on the cutting room floor or things that you might think suck that you feel we are spending too much time on - but in the spirit of experimentation this is all OK. We really want to provide you all the transparency we can because of your passion and interest in Anthem. But, with that comes seeing how the sausage is made - which is not always pretty by the way."
Kort sagt, räkna inte med att återse Anthem i år, utan 2021 eller senare är en mer realistisk gissning.
