The life support has been pulled on panned looter-shooter Anthem.nFans holding out for the promising Anthem 2.0 relaunch are out of luck now as EA has canceled development of it and all resources are now going towards BioWare’s other projects, Mass Effect and Dragon Age.nIf you like dabbling in the game as it currently exists though, you will continue to be able to do so as EA will be keeping the game online just without any development of it.nExecute Producer Christian Dailey wrote on the BioWare site:nSince Anthem’s launch, the team has been working hard to continually improve the game, releasing multiple updates that brought with them a variety of improvements and introduced new content to play. Towards the end of 2019 we expanded on that effort and started working on a more fundamental restructure of the game.nDuring the development we’ve provided updates revealing some of the team’s work through blog posts and conversations with you on social media and it’s been inspiring for us to see the positive reactions and feedback. I’ve been incredibly proud of the work the team has been doing, and excited to see and play each new build of the experience.n2020 was a year unlike any other however and while we continue to make progress against all our game projects at BioWare, working from home during the pandemic has had an impact on our productivity and not everything we had planned as a studio before COVID-19 can be accomplished without putting undue stress on our teams.nI know this will be disappointing to the community of Anthem players who have been excited to see the improvements we’ve been working on. It’s also disappointing for the team who were doing brilliant work. And for me personally, Anthem is what brought me to BioWare, and the last two years have been some of the most challenging and rewarding experiences of my career.nGame development is hard. Decisions like these are not easy. Moving forward, we need to laser focus our efforts as a studio and strengthen the next Dragon Age, and Mass Effect titles while continuing to provide quality updates to Star Wars: The Old Republic.nTo the Anthem community, thank you for your passion and creativity. Your feedback and suggestions most certainly help shape the team’s direction, and on a personal note, your kindness and encouragement were much needed last year.nnn 10 Reasons Why You Need To Play Outriders Demon nn Outriders Demo Now Available Across All Platforms
