In BioWare's Mid-Summer Update, general manager Casey Hudson stated, "we hear loud and clear the interest in BioWare doing more Dragon Age and Mass Effect, so rest assured that we have some teams hidden away working on some secret stuff that I think you'll really like - we're just not ready to talk about any of it for a little while."This should lend some hope to fans of Mass Effect series, which last year was said to be put on hold following the launch of Mass Effect: Andromeda. As for Dragon Age, there have been rumors and small talk of a new entry, with BioWare writer Alexis Kennedy speaking about working on a new game in the franchise and Casey Hudson discussing how the in-development new Dragon Age title will be a "live" experience. The Mid-Summer Update also shed a little light on Anthem's solution to the player's fear of having agency in a living world, called "Our World, My Story."The "our world" part will be a dynamic open world "experienced in real-time by all Anthem players - day/night, weather, and world scale events that shape the ongoing narrative of the setting."When you return to Fort Tarsis, that's were you will get the more traditional single-player experience and "it's where you spend time developing relationships, making choices, and seeing consequences. That's the "my story" part."The team will go into more detail during their panel at PAX Prime, which runs from August 31 - September 3 in Seattle, WA.You can learn more about Anthem by reading why we believe Anthem is BioWare's whole new world and learning 161 facts about BioWare's newest IP launching on February 22, 2019.
