For many years, when developers released a game and it wasn’t a hit, there wasn’t much anyone could do about it. Developers simply had to learn from the experience, lick their wounds, and move on to the next project. In the digital age, the opposite is often true. Developers can consider releasing many ways of patches and slowly make the game more up to players’ standards. There’s some successful examples of that kind of strategy;\u00a0No Man’s Sky<\/em> has reinvented itself<\/a> to much acclaim. However,\u00a0Anthem<\/em><\/strong> hasn’t succeeded in this area. Although BioWare spent a long time trying to figure out a way to rebuild this game from the bottom up, it’s since decided to scrap plans to salvage it.<\/p>\n

While it’s hard to abandon any project, BioWare wasn’t counting on Anthem<\/em><\/a>‘s success to stay afloat. It’s responsible for franchises like\u00a0Mass Effect<\/em> and\u00a0Dragon Age<\/em> that remain hugely popular. Fans are waiting eagerly to hear about next installments in these franchises, and BioWare seems determined to meet expectations. Although BioWare Austin’s executive producer Christian Dailey has confirmed that\u00a0Anthem NEXT<\/em> has been abandoned, he hints at a renewed focus on\u00a0Mass Effect<\/em> and\u00a0Dragon Age.<\/em> That makes it sounds like BioWare already has plans to recoup\u00a0Anthem<\/em>‘s losses, which should buoy BioWare fans.<\/p>\n

BioWare has proven time and time again that it can deliver on the\u00a0Dragon Age<\/em> franchise<\/a>. Its entries consistently rank in the 80s on Metacritic, showing BioWare’s consistency and the franchise’s ongoing popularity. There hasn’t been a\u00a0Dragon Age<\/em> game since 2014, but fans do know that BioWare is coming back to\u00a0Dragon Age,\u00a0<\/em>ever since\u00a0Dragon Age 4<\/em> got announced in 2018. It sounds like resources initially dedicated toward\u00a0Anthem NEXT<\/em> will be moved to work on\u00a0Dragon Age<\/em> instead. That’s a good sign for\u00a0Dragon Age<\/em> fans. BioWare is aware of its own achievements with this franchise. Putting more resources towards it and ensuring its success is a good way to bounce back from\u00a0Anthem<\/em>‘s disappointing reception.<\/p>\n

Acknowledging\u00a0Mass Effect<\/em> should be exciting for a lot of fans too.\u00a0Mass Effect: Legendary Edition<\/em><\/a> is only a few months away now, so any extra resources devoted to\u00a0Mass Effect\u00a0<\/em>now might help the compilation of games sail smoothly toward success. However, Dailey’s post implies that BioWare will have a renewed focus on\u00a0Mass Effect<\/em> in the long term. There’s no new\u00a0Mass Effect<\/em> games on the horizon, as far as fans are aware, but that might be changing soon. If BioWare is focusing on its established franchises, then\u00a0Anthem<\/em>‘s loss is\u00a0Mass Effect<\/em>‘s gain, much like\u00a0Dragon Age.<\/em><\/p>\n

It’s too bad that\u00a0Anthem<\/em> didn’t quite hit the mark. On the bright side, though, it sounds like BioWare is taking\u00a0Anthem<\/em>‘s rough road<\/a> as a learning experience. The plan is apparently to let go of\u00a0Anthem<\/em>‘s flaws and accept the game as it is, rather than spending months or years trying to make it live up to initial expectations. There’s lots of things that BioWare can learn from\u00a0Anthem<\/em> about experimenting with new formulas and how a confusing development can impact a game. BioWare is surely taking the time to focus on what’s important and figure out how it can handle its other projects with care.<\/p>\n

Anthem<\/em> fans can’t be blamed for being disappointed that the game isn’t getting as much support as blamed. Still, it’s ultimately a good thing that BioWare has apparently figured out what’s important to it in the wake of this new IP. It wants to ensure that the franchises that have carried it so far —\u00a0Dragon Age\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0Mass Effect<\/em> — continue to flourish and grow. Expectations are high for\u00a0Dragon Age 4<\/em><\/a>,<\/em> since its the first return to the franchise in so many years. BioWare is wise to ensure that that game does well, rather than spreading itself thin and fussing over\u00a0Anthem.<\/em><\/p>\n

Anthem<\/strong><\/em> 2.0<\/strong> has been cancelled.<\/p>\n
