The makers of Mass Effect are back
BioWare's new property was revealed earlier at EA's totally-not-E3 showcase via a brief teaser trailer. The game's called ANTHEM, and it appears to be some sort of gritty sci-fi title. It uses the Frostbite engine, and we'll be seeing more of it tomorrow at Microsoft's press conference.
Got any first impressions for us? Be prepared to back BioWare in the comments section below.
About Robert Ramsey
Robert (or Rob if you're lazy) is an assistant editor of Push Square, and has been a fan of PlayStation since the 90s, when Tekken 2 introduced him to the incredible world of video games. He still takes his fighting games seriously, but RPGs are his true passion. The Witcher, Persona, Dragon Quest, Mass Effect, Final Fantasy, Trails, Tales — he's played 'em all. A little too much, some might say.

Meh.
So they're using the same engine that they already claimed they couldn't get their heads around for Andromeda? Ha! EA better be keeping that guillotine sharp....
This looked like it has potential... However far too little to know whether it will realise that or not...
Honestly, I almost forgot this was shown. The jury's out until we see more after the Microsoft presser.
Wait for the reviews, don't want to get burnt. Can't say my expectations are even remotely high anyway.
Hmmm
Nope, looks like destiny or somethig like it
I hope this would not be MMO , please be a good sci-fi RPG
I like the look of it, but unfortunately I'll probably only have time for one Destiny like game, and that's D2. Let's wait and see.
Is it because this looks like it might be one of the very few 3rd Party games affiliated with MS, or do people really know what this game could offer from a 30sec trailer? I wonder how many people may change their opinion when we actually see game-play.
Conceptually and aesthetically, I thought this looked interesting - something we haven't seen too much of in the gaming industry with all these sequels, remasters and remakes...
TOTALLY NOT DESTINY.
Its just a futuristing post-apocalyptic sci-fi game about people in power armor, run "as a service" apparently (ref: polygon) and under the EA umbrella. Nope, definitely not destiny
Of course, its BioWare so at least it'll have a more coherent story.
So the "Bob Dylan of video games" seems to give off Destiny vibes. Also "we'll see more at Microsoft's conference". Let's hope M$ aren't up to their old tricks again.
EA is making destiny 2, did not see that coming.
Throw a mask on everyone and people can't complain about facial animations.
sounds awfully like Destiny & Monster Hunter type of game...
Hope tomorrow MS covfefe prove us wrong...
Those first Nature/wildlife scenes brought to mind HZD - or maybe it just reminded me of how great a game it was and why the hell is there no sign of the DLC. Then yes, Destiny groove kicks in and I think well D2 and HZD have both those bases covered for me. Which means the only thing that would hook me on this is a good story and characters. However the full-body armour doesn't bode well for nuanced, character driven plot
my first thought was, "is this where all the Bioware talent went instead of ME: Andromeda?"
