New Details About Anthem [9.15.18]

Some new details have emerged about Anthem. Mark Derrah, the executive producer for Anthem has been answering questions about Anthem during his AMAAAA (ask me almost anything about Anthem) Twitch session. Reddit user and Youtube content creator IGame have been collection these new details about Anthem and have placed them on Reddit and even added links to the questions.

What He Collected

• The devs plan on releasing content frequently. No six month droughts here: r/https://twitter.com/BioMarkDarrah/status/1038634163492933632

• We still be able to progress after the story is complete, plus there are expansions to the story later. Content after the story is elder content: r/https://twitter.com/BioMarkDarrah/status/1038814423920472065

• As stated by Mark Darrah, Fort Tarsis is pretty big! You’ll have plenty of NPCs and non-combat areas to explore: r/https://twitter.com/BioMarkDarrah/status/1039565738057465856

• If you didn’t already figure out from the Our World, My Story panel, Freelancer’s are their own faction. you’re a part of this faction, and no you can’t join any other factions. This isn’t Fallout: r/https://twitter.com/BioMarkDarrah/status/1039690923439841280 & r/https://twitter.com/BioMarkDarrah/status/1039688734877175808

• The difficulty system will be tiered similar to Diablo 3: r/https://twitter.com/BioMarkDarrah/status/1039678115121782785

• There will be a minimum level you have to reach in order to equip legendary or masterworks level gear, at least Mark thinks so: r/https://twitter.com/BioMarkDarrah/status/1039597182272200704

• Rangers are not able to use heavy guns (i.e. mini guns): r/https://twitter.com/BioMarkDarrah/status/1039938363078234112

• Colossus cannot equip pistols: r/https://twitter.com/BioMarkDarrah/status/1039988090289311745

• It’s hard to say whether the Storm is more fragile than the Interceptor: r/https://twitter.com/BioMarkDarrah/status/1040235657992364033 & r/https://twitter.com/BioMarkDarrah/status/1040091086922739712

• Again, the ultimate for each Javelin will not be interchangeable at launch, but they are looking into this and it will be tied into the gear: r/https://twitter.com/BioMarkDarrah/status/1040236365563060224 & r/https://twitter.com/BioMarkDarrah/status/1040247640078704642 & r/https://twitter.com/BioMarkDarrah/status/1040253257765990400

• Again, crossplay is being looked into, but it will not be available at launch: r/https://twitter.com/BioMarkDarrah/status/1040236293421117440

• YES!!! Confirmed! You will be able to save your load outs per Javelin: r/https://twitter.com/BioMarkDarrah/status/1040235878012968960

• Again, you will not be able to change out weapons and gear outside of Fort Tarsis or your Strider: r/https://twitter.com/BioMarkDarrah/status/1040237538571481088

• I probably should have asked the question differently, but the “cooled” indicator can be causes by a variety of things. This one should be a conversation starter: r/https://twitter.com/BioMarkDarrah/status/1040248709664002049

• Devs will try to balance parties in matchmaking, but they don’t want to have too exclusionary of options: r/https://twitter.com/BioMarkDarrah/status/1040401779878313984

• Again, you unlock customization & personalization options by playing the game: r/https://twitter.com/BioMarkDarrah/status/1040399329037508608

• Again, no Javelin will fly faster than the other in overland flight, more agile yes, but the devs want the team to be able to stay together and not have someone falling behind: r/https://twitter.com/BioMarkDarrah/status/1040402521255075840

• The Colossus will have some explicit aggro capabilities, but in theory any Javelin will have the ability to tank in some way: r/https://twitter.com/BioMarkDarrah/status/1040408611061747713

• No customized idles at launch, but that is definitely a neat idea: r/https://twitter.com/BioMarkDarrah/status/1040464057633923072

• Still don’t know the PC requirements yet, but as Gamble stated previously they will likely be similar to Mass Effect: Andromeda: r/https://twitter.com/BioMarkDarrah/status/1040972854165032961
