During June's E3 2018, EA and BioWare showed off the first gameplay footage from the upcoming sci-fi-themed Anthem. The video features the voice of Lead Producer Ben Irving narrating the action as a cooperative team of four players "discover more about the transversal, combat and teamwork in the mission "Scars & Villainy"".
The video showcases the cooperative aspect of Anthem. The other half of the game provides individual players with an instanced-based narrative adventure that becomes their "personal story".
Speaking with The Verge, BioWare's Studio Manager Casey Hudson said, "It's kind of a loop that you're in where every time you come back to base, you take your suit off and you walk around town, you see all of your favorite people and move the storyline along. And then you suit up, jump off the cliff and go have an adventure with other people. That loop is integral to the game. It bonds those things together."
