Everything we know about Anthem

What feature do you see being what keeps players coming back?

I think second to the [endgame]—the progression should keep you running—there is something called the Pact of Glory and every week you have certain goals to achieve and if you achieve them you get additional rewards of in-game currency to use. And then the other thing is that because this is an unfinished world, it allows us to do things and to change and really, long term, what keeps people engaged long term is shifting the way they think about what they already have.

So traditionally, BioWare, when we release DLC and things like that, it's okay, here's some new story and people go [eating noises] and then they're done. But if we can change almost the basic concept of what's going on, so you're like, okay so I have a flamethrower but now all the monsters are flame monsters, so what am I going to do with this thing? You can kind of introduce these puzzles over time that kind of change up the way the relationship the player has with the equipment they already have, that's really what I think keep people engaged long term in the games that have lasted a really long time, it's that ability to shift the meta over time.

A large component of enemy target selection is based on proximity... There are a whole mess of other factors that can influence it, but generally speaking... If you want an enemy to focus on you, stand next to it and shoot it in the face 😊.

That's what we were doing during the fight with the swarm tyrant in the demo... Swapping in and out (with our Colossus').

Currently there's no health regen.

And yep... the red orbs on the ground refill your health, they have a weighted chance to drop when you kill or damage some types of enemies. 😊
