@CzXe7 I’m not part of the company at all anymore so not very likely :)

Wanna make it my ringtone and publish it for anyone to use so we can keep anthem alive in a little way

@BenIrvo hey, what are the odds you can get a hold of the audio files for when an exotic drops?

@hokeypogi “Imagine if one player went all primers and one went all detonators and they were on VOIP shouting it all out”

@hokeypogi Such a cool story. Short version: We talked a lot about how to facilitate team work and grouping being impactful. Mass Effect has used that system before and I remember that being the answer to our challenge of incentivizing teamwork and grouping play

I’ll always love Anthem. I would happily work on it again. Or rebuild/remake it somewhere.

@DanticsOfficial @FuzziThaBear Thanks Mate. Always loved our interactions.

@FuzziThaBear @BenIrvo I was there. He was infectious.

I'd love to see Anthem rebuild/remade, and so would one of the original developers, Ben Iving. Though I'd prefer they choose a lane. Either a Mass Effect 3 multiplayer style game, or a Bioware single player one. Crossing both worlds is a monumental task to get right. Also correct me if I'm wrong but my understanding was the games code was barely held together with duct tape. So rebuilding seems like it may be the only way. I was one of the few in the world that got to play the 2.0 they were working on. Sadly it was not quite enough to resuscitate the game- but having much more time could. Though that seems like a fever dream.

@FuzziThaBear @DanticsOfficial This means the world to me man. Thanks so much. I loved talking about the game.

@BenIrvo @DanticsOfficial I wish this would become a reality. I watched you talk about it at EA Play and the passion you had for the project had me so excited. Anthem had sooo much potential and I hope it gets the justice eventually

@TheDeXZoR @danielc4vtr @EA @bioware Yep. Depends in what context and in what medium.

@hokeypogi Yeah, I worked on all the gameplay (combat, enemies, flight, etc) stuff with a great team of awesome people.

@BenIrvo Did you work on the damage and combat system, or know someone who did?

@rex_cci @DanticsOfficial Who? I’d love to chat with them.

@danielc4vtr It was a pleasure to be part of making Anthem. I’ll always cherish the work we did and the potential that was there!

@BenIrvo Thank you, and thanks to the whole Anthem Team. It was a Lot of fun! I'm genuinely sad that Anthem 2.0 didn't happen, and that we won't be able to play this game anymore😔 Hopefully we get another Exosuit/mech game from you guys, all of the best! #Anthem #EA #Mech #Ps5

@BenIrvo I've been playing Anthem since we only have a few days left, and I just wanted to thank you for your work. I've heard what you guys had to go through while developing this game, but still, In the end you guys made something I really enjoyed and will always miss... 1/2

It’s amazing how many people are still so enthusiastic about Anthem so many years later. Anthem still has all the potential in the world …

@danielc4vtr @EA @bioware I don’t work at BioWare or EA anymore :).

@danielc4vtr @EA @bioware I’d love to reboot Anthem one day…

VERY cool stuff - check it out!!

We did our first rehearsal for this today and our puns per minute was probably a new record for us, so get excited.

A Lara Croft bean is something you never knew you needed. 👀 @FallGuysGame All the obstacle course training at Croft Manor is going to pay off!
