Good news, ANTHEM will have an online player hub after all. A much requested feature, lead producer Mike Gamble has confirmed that it's been added after receiving feedback on the matter from fans.
Previously, ANTHEM had a system where, after completing a mission with other people, you'd return to Fort Tarsis alone. The fort acts as your home, where you'll pick up quests, buy stuff, and learn more about the game's world and lore.
Gamble explains that you can still do this, or you can head straight to the new 'Launch Bay', which is basically an online lobby where you can meet other players and pick up more missions. Certainly sounds handy, and Gamble says that more information on the Launch Bay is coming soon.
It's nice to see that BioWare's already taking feedback on board. Hopefully this move is indicative of how the developer plans on supporting the game following its launch next month.

Watch the fans now complain that it's too similar to Destiny even though they requested it.
"I'm fed up with Destiny. Can't wait to play Anthem."
"Anthem has no player hub."
"Oh, that's not good. Make it like Destiny."
So just like The Division. You can see your friend if you meet up at the Safe House but not at the main Post Office home base.
The set up did seem a bit strange when playing the Alpha. You never saw anyone till after matchmaking and then it was only your team.
Will just go to the hub to see what cool designs people have made on their JAV 😀
@Paranoimia ad infinitum
@ApostateMage maybe thats because there are tens if not hundreds of thousands of fans each with different tastes and wishes. People always act like there is just one 'fan' as in just one entity.
Far too much negativity once again for something that should be applauded. They could have just not done it at all.
