During last week’s Paris Games Week, the Anthem team was on hand to show off an entire mission from the currently ongoing alpha of the game. The mission features a mission called The Lost Anarchist and showcases the abilities of both the Storm and Interceptor Javelins. The video is long on spoilers since it’s a complete mission including dialog. Consider yourself warned! Lastly, there are some technical issues at the start of the stream that are solved within the first few minutes.

BioWare’s Mike Gamble and Ben Irving will be on hand on November 1st to stream some Anthem. Not much has been seen of the game since E3, so it will be a golden opportunity for fans to check out the latest build of the game. Of course, Gamble adds that there are likely to be some issues but that it’s sure to feature “hijinks and hilarity”.

The BioWare blog has been updated with a new post from Casey Hudson to announce that Anthem has officially entered its alpha phase of development. According to Hudson, “every part of the game is in, and functioning”. He further says that it’s fun to see people around the office and in partner studios grouping together for adventures. He likens it to the heady early days of BioWare during the development of Baldur’s Gate.

The latest BioWare news update has been published on the company’s site that gives readers an overview of what it has been up to this summer, particularly with regard to Anthem. Studio Lead Casey Hudson reviews the team’s trip to E3 and thanks the community for its enthusiastic reception of the demo shown during the show. He further goes on to acknowledge player questions about the “Our World, My Story” mantra for Anthem and expounds a bit on it while teasing an upcoming panel at PAX Prime.

Anthem Creative Director Brenon Holmes has taken to Reddit to try to explain why the game may not feature any text-based chat channels. The team is facing an FCC deadline to implement accessibility options in game that can include full text-to-speech options. As a result, Anthem will probably exclude even the most basic text chat channels including zone, clan or general.

BioWare’s Mark Darrah, executive producer of Anthem, is on a roll answering fan questions about Anthem. While many of the things Darrah has written about are things known since E3 2018. However, there are a number of interesting factoids in and among the more common questions.

BioWare’s Casey Hudson is back with a new blog on the company’s site. In it, he presents the new mission statement by which all games will be developed. “We create worlds of adventure, conflict and companionship that inspire you to become the hero of your story”. He begins by explaining each of the key words and how they will come into play for Anthem.
