Bioware's upcoming sci-fi action role-playing game is may have taken the limelight away from some of the game developer's more beloved franchises, but it seems that "Anthem" is ready to give gamers an experience they will not forget. With its release less than a quarter away, the "Anthem" team is starting to show their dedication to the longevity of Bioware's latest franchise through teasers and an upcoming novel.
It seems that the development for "Anthem" is at a point where its developers are now able to reliably play the game in a polished manner which opens up the possibility of releasing more teaser content. According to WCCF Tech, some of "Anthem's" developers have taken to Twitter to showcase the upcoming video game's content.
Sometimes when I am playing @anthemgame I have to stop and take a picture because of how nice it looks! #AnthemGame #anthem pic.twitter.com/YFqkUX11LR — Tyler (@Bio_Tyler) November 22, 2018
Quality Assurance team member Tyler Steinbring shared a photo of what players can expect from the environment in "Anthem." The photo featured a cave entrance lit by sunlight. Steinbring says that the environment of "Anthem" is so beautiful that he cannot help but take photos of the experience.
Happy #AnthemFriday! Here's a little peek at my orange-and-plaid Colossus having a little disagreement with some Scars. Thank goodness for that shield! #AnthemGame #GameDev #Colossus #thiccboi pic.twitter.com/Ex1A3copqn — Emily (aka Domino) Taylor (@pentapod) November 23, 2018

Senior level designer Emily Taylor also posted an "Anthem" scene on Twitter. Taylor's photos featured her personal Colossus character fighting of some Scars. When asked by a fan about enemy variety, Taylor then posts an additional photo showcasing two different enemies that players may encounter in "Anthem" aside from the Scar.
If the "Anthem" developer's posts are not exciting enough for some Bioware fans looking for more of a narrative interest, WCCF Tech points out that pre-orders for "Anthem: Strong Alone, Stronger Together" are now available on Amazon. The "Anthem" novel will apparently be a prequel to Bioware's upcoming game and will feature the characters Kismet and Jani as they both grow up and learn to fight in Fort Tarsis.
Fans of "Anthem" would know that Fort Tarsis will be a central location in the upcoming game when it releases. Unfortunately, not many details have been revealed regarding Kismet and Jani's role in the "Anthem" video game. Fans can now only speculate whether the characters will become important non-player characters to "Anthem's" story when it releases.
Fans who are interested in the back story of "Anthem" can pick-up the pre-order for the prequel novel which is scheduled for release on Aug. 13 next year. For those eagerly awaiting the video game's release, "Anthem" is scheduled to go to market by Feb. 22 next year and will be available for PC, Playstation 4, and Xbox One.
