Enlarged the Anthem exploration icon chart as best I could... CSI:BSN - Time to go to work! So map icons for navigation? I think so. Some of these icons look like satellites, and on the left side there, it looks like that might be an orbital path...

Humanity gets stuck somewhere and we can't get off. Swtor is meant to have romance. Still expecting bangable aliens here. Or robots. I'm not speciesist.

I wonder will the game have something like lost sectors from Destiny 2. Dungeons you can go into to find new weaponsnshit. Public events will probably also be a thing a bunch of enemies need to shot at by a bunch of people. Fun.

No loss, it was a great piece of analysis. (and judging by the icons, it may have been an example of 'art style'...)

The Warframe map missions are named after solar places - maybe it's about getting together something similarly.

Interesting that Bio felt the need to reserve a conference room in a hotel somewhere... and a large room at that. This begs the question of who was invited as that room easily holds 100 people (my estimate).
Anthem Milestone Review, apparently, is an invitation to the whole Anthem team? Was the conclusion "we are on track?".

Hmm...
Perhaps they represent locations and danger type. (1) The skull can mean "highly Dangerous". (2) Could mean area is unexplored. (3) Third could mean our scouts were here. (4-6) Locations of enemy factions.
Icons with some colour could also mean human forts elsewhere in the world.
All speculative. Perhaps info drops will now start to appear.

I suspect we're warming up for one of two launch paths. - That leads us to a 'Fall 2018' October/November launch, or
- That leads us to a 'Spring 2019' March launch
To assess this, we can compare upcoming information drops to past behavior (from Dragon Age Inquisition and Mass Effect Andromeda) and I'll quote items in order of 'time to launch'*. - 9m 9d - MEA 'EA Play' trailer - June 12th 2016 ~ MEA Work in progreess trailer
- 7m 4d - DAI 'Discover the Dragon Age' - March 6th 2014 ~ DAI Environmental trailer
- 6m 14d - MEA '4K Tech demo' - Sept 7th 2016 ~ MEA First gameplay trailer
- 5m 18d - DAI 'The Inquisitor' trailer - April 22nd 2014 ~ DAI First proper story trailer
- 4m 20d - MEA 'Andromeda Initiative Briefing' - November 1st 2016 ~ MEA Full-on marketing kick-off
- 4m 14d - MEA 'Cinematic Reveal Trailer' ~ N7 Day 2016 - November 7th 2016 ~ MEA First proper story trailer
- 4m 1d - DAI 'Lead Them or Fall' trailer - June 9th 2014 ~ DAI Full-on marketing kick-off
- * DAI timings relate to the original October 10th 2014 launch date.
So, recognizing that there will also be the opportunistic use of key conventions, we have our outline marketing plan: - 9 months out - Progress trailer
- 7 months out - Environmental trailer
- 5 months out - Story trailer
- 4 months out - Full-on marketing
I do not believe that EA marketing are innovating randomly on the fly, the DAI and MEA timings align well. We know that information drops are tightly controlled and that the launch plan likely already exists, if with some flexibility on final launch date. This gives us a 'Plan A' and a 'Plan B': Plan A - Fall 2018- 9 months out - Progress trailer ~ February 20th 2018
- 7 months out - Environmental trailer ~ April 20th 2018, but could drop earlier at Pax East April 5-8 2018
- 5 months out - Story trailer ~ May 20th 2018
- 4 months out - Full-on marketing ~ June 20th 2018, but could simply align with E3 June 12-14 2018
- Launch - November 20th 2018
Plan B - Spring 2019- 9 months out - Progress trailer ~ June 20th 2018, but could simply align with E3 June 12-14 2018
- 7 months out - Environmental trailer ~ August 20th 2018 ~ might align with Gamescom August 21-25 2018
- 5 months out - Story trailer ~ September 20th 2018 ~ might align with Pax Prime September (tba 2018)
- 4 months out - Full-on marketing ~ November 20th 2018
- Launch - March 19th 2019
In short, if information starts dropping before or at Pax East, then I think it's a given that Fall 2018 is on. If we get nothing before E3, then we're headed for the Spring (I don't think EA have the courage/confidence to pull a Bethesda)

(4-6) Locations of enemy factions. I think at least one of those could be an objective tracker, and 6 looks like some sort of dungeon entrance.

Bio, in my view, will give us at least two trailers in 2018 and one of them will be shown at the E3 convention. Plus, if the game does contain a solid Single Player campaign, the trailer will show it. One way or another, the direction of the game will be known before the game goes on sale.
Also, I really suspect the date of the public beta to be the best indicator of the launch date ~= three months later. 🌸

Yeah... come to think about it, it sure does look like a dungeon entrance.
Dungeons are quite difficult to play solo, if not impossible. I strongly suspect we must play MP with this target.

🌸 Possibly. Then again, Destiny 2 fills its maps with Lost Sectors, small five minute if even dungeons that can be easily cleared by a single person. Or there could be scaling difficulty. Hard to say. I’m a little more interested in the skull, and whether it represents some sort of unique dynamic challenging encounter that spawns in the world or if it’s some sort of endgame Raid content.

Alain Baxter @alainbaxterWell, it’s been awhile, but it’s time for another Anthem Milestone Review! #Anthem #BioWare -(_ANTHEM_)-
Interesting that Bio felt the need to reserve a conference room in a hotel somewhere... and a large room at that. This begs the question of who was invited as that room easily holds 100 people (my estimate).
Anthem Milestone Review, apparently, is an invitation to the whole Anthem team? Was the conclusion "we are on track?".
🌸
I see Mark Darrah in there, so I'm guessing it's not just for the Anthem team, but also anyone at BioWare who wants to see where the game's at.

The team is quite large, I think we're over 300 across all locations now - we've outgrown a lot of the smaller conference rooms . The milestone reviews are for the whole team. We look at the work we've done and celebrate our accomplishments!
