Developer Mark Darrah confirmed to GameSpot that you'll need a persistent internet connection to play its upcoming cooperative shooter, whether you're adventuring solo or with other players. > This is similar to the approach taken by Destiny, to which Anthem has drawn many comparisons since it was first unveiled at last year's E3.
