In an update posted to Reddit byAnthemteam memberDarokaz , faculty update devotee on the status of the plot as well as the secrecy that has been a troubling but coherent chemical element of BioWare ’s feeler as of late . Troublingly , the post indicated that BioWare still inexplicably believes thatAnthemis in early entree release . The post then addressedAnthemUpdate 1.1.0 , which precede the new Stronghold called The Sunken Cell as well as a few other quality - of - life change that have been requested for weeks now . Finally , the update degenerate a bombshell on fans — a dramatic number of Act 1 feature were being delayed , with piffling reasonableness other than there being more pressing fix given . Here ’s what ’s being delayed :
In curt , well-nigh everything that has kept fans sticking around and skip for something better in the near hereafter will be delay by BioWare as the studio continues to prove and compute out how to sort out the cataclysmic mess that isAnthem . While Cataclysm was a huge focal point on early subject tone ending in the ramp up - up to launch , its May release windowpane is now being used to simply releaseinformationabout the feature of speech , which fans still do n’t know about . The postal service also closes out by addressing the many ill overAnthem ’s lootthat have literally persisted since the starting time of the secret plan ’s launch , state :
" We have heard your concerns around end secret plan plunder . We check that our moolah and patterned advance systems ask to be better and we are working towards this . When we have more information to share , we will . "
Basically , the most recentupdate onAnthemis that nothing is going in good order . Now seems to be an appropriate time for fan to panic , as months after the game ’s release , the only thing Freelancers have to show for their go forward support is one extra Stronghold and the hope that thing will get better , just not on docket . It ’s an atonal message from a developer that already needed to do a lot to come through back the faith many had point in its power to grow timbre production , and it ’s voiceless to imagine anything except an extremely negative rebound hold back in the wings for BioWare after the latestAnthemupdate brings nearly all defective news .
