EA Announces New Bioware Title Anthem at E3 Press Conference

For the most part, I give the EA E3 press conference a pass. Generally dominated by sports games and the next installment of some shooter franchise, it’s been a few years since the company really got me excited. I always keep an ear out and some fingers crossed for the revival of Dead Space, but instead I got something a bit different.
Right after an impressive trailer for the new co-op game A Way Out, we got a brief look into a new Bioware title, “Anthem.”
Check it out:
What makes Anthem‘s announcement interesting is that it tail-ended a speech about the evolving technology in games and EA’s “SEED” division. Hinting at new tech that would change the face of gaming, there was an overt focus on Microsoft’s “Project Scorpio.”
If you’re out of the loop, Scorpio is a new piece of tech coming from Microsoft that is supposed to be the next step for the Xbox lineup. Originally marketed as a PS4 Pro style resolution and processing upgrade, rumors abound that this might be a whole new console.
We’ll learn more tomorrow, so check out the Microsoft E3 show Sunday at 2 pm PT, or check back here for my report.
