Anthem lærte Bioware at fokusere på det de er gode til

Tildels Mass Effect: Andromeda og i særdeleshed Anthem var ret så store skuffelser, og endte med at lede til fyringer og en større udskiftning hos Bioware, der døjede med ringe arbejdsforhold og dårlig ledelse.

De prøvede sågar at redde Anthem via et projekt der blev kaldt "Anthem NEXT", men dette blev skrottet til fordel for blandt andet at udvikle Dragon Age: The Veilguard. Spillet er nu næsten ude, og er langt tættere på studiets traditionelle RPG'er. I et interview med Edge Magazine fortæller en af instruktørerne, John Epler dette:

"We're a studio that has always been built around digging deep on storytelling and roleplaying. I'm proud of a lot of things on Anthem - I was on that project for a year and a half. But at the end of the day, we were building a game focused on something we were not necessarily as proficient at. For me and for the team, the biggest lesson was to know what you're good at and then double down on it. Don't spread yourselves too thin. Don't try to do a bunch of different things you don't have the expertise to do. A lot of the people on this team came here to build a story-focused, single-player RPG."

Dragon Age: The Veilguard står til at lande indenfor de næste par måneder.
