Anthem Director Labels Storytelling Changes an “Evolution,” Major BioWare Exits “Healthy”

BioWare has tried a lot of different things over the years, but, for the most part, the studio’s approach to storytelling has remained consistent. It seems that may be about to change. Due to Anthem’s much-touted shared open world, player choice and character interaction will only happen in the game’s hub, and BioWare recently admitted the game will deemphasize telling traditional big, branching stories, in favor of more on personal narratives.
Sounds a bit concerning, but in an interview with GamesIndustry.biz, Anthem director Jon Warner insisted these storytelling changes shouldn’t be looked at as a departure.
