Don’t cry for me…
While much of the video-game-playing world has moved on,Anthemis still up and running. Last month brought theCataclysm event, and now, as of today, BioWare’s high-flying sci-fi shooter has joined EA Access and Origin Access. I can see people messing with it out of a sense of morbid curiosity.
Covering this game this far into 2019 feels like talking about a ghost. It’s weird, especially in the context of a BioWare title with major backing (at least upfront). Things could’ve gone better post-launch.
“IP lives for generations, and runs in these seven to ten-year cycles,” EA CEO Andrew Wilsonsaid earlier this year. “So, if I think aboutAnthemon a seven- to ten-year cycle, it may not have had the start that many of us wanted, including our players. I feel like that team is really going to get there with something special and something great, because they’ve demonstrated that they can.”
It’s good to seeAnthemon EA Access for anyone who wants to experience the highs and lows of a BioWare live-service game, but I’m not hopeful about the IP’s future, and I fear forDragon Agefans.
