Anthem Producer Says The Future Of BioWare Is Not Concerned

Anthem is the latest intellectual property of Bioware, a living game that is dividing the community and quickly became involved in various controversies.

Faced with a number of issues, such as complaints from players that Anthem is freezing PS4 consoles, which have made the release troublesome, several fans of the studio fear for their future, but the producer of Anthem says there are no reasons for that.

Michael Gamble, a lead producer on Anthem, received a message from a fan who demonstrated his support for the studio and the game, but also shared his fear of Electronic Arts’ reaction.

Facing this fan who spoke about his fear of seeing Electronic Arts close Bioware, Gamble said he did not have to worry, the studio is full of work and has immense support.

” Do not worry about us,” Gamble said.

“We have a lot of work to do, but you’re not the only one who likes Anthem,” added the main producer of the new game.

Over the last few days, the team responsible for the game has been receiving lots of fan support messages that fear for the future of Bioware.

However, Gamble continues to ensure that there is no cause for concern.

EA’s support for Bioware appears to be one of the biggest fears of fans, who fear they’ll see the label close the studio.

Gamble says they are receiving immense support.

” A lot of people are playing Anthem and we’ve already announced our plans for live service. Do not worry about it, we’re getting great support .”

Casey Hudson, manager of Bioware, had already thanked the support of the players of Anthem and Gamblem echoed his words.

I really hope EA doesn't shutdown your studio

Phil Spencer Says They Do Not Make Money On Consoles, But On Games

Recently, rumors have surfaced about a new stance on Xbox, Microsoft’s video game division, which could expand its services to new platforms and bet on streaming.

The rumors of a new Xbox in 2020 focused on streaming, the announcement of the streaming service called Project xCloud and the possible expansion of Xbox Live for mobile devices and Nintendo Switch, point to a future where Microsoft will expand the reach of their games.

After stating that the next E3 will see Microsoft’s dedication to gaming PC, Phil Spencer talked about the company’s plans for the future and how services can play a key role in its expansion.

The boss of the Xbox division even said that it is not on consoles that make money, but on games, something that could influence their future bets.

” We want to take the Game Pass to any device anyone wants to play,“ says Spencer.

Faced with the fear that the expansion of its services to other platforms would affect the sale of consoles, Spencer says it is in the game sales that it will focus on the company’s business.

“That’s not where you make money,” Spencer said of the consoles.

” The business of video games is really to sell games and sell access to games and content in ways that are the key business, and if you expand it, the more people you get to play, the more you’ll enjoy this form of art. “

Despite these words, Microsoft continues to work on new consoles, confirmed by Spencer at E3 2018. One of them, the rumors indicate, may focus exclusively on the digital format.

In addition, information has emerged that points to the approach of consoles and PC like never before, with the possibility of Xbox games coming to the PC and a single store joining the two platforms.

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice received a new little teaser.

Like the previous one, this new teaser reveals one of the many bosses you will face in this new game from From Software.

“The Chained Ogre” is the name of this imposing boss and, as you can see in the video below, is ready to wake the terror and cat this lone wolf.

The terror that you can see in your eyes is enough to leave you with doubts about the confrontation, but the magnificence of your attacks will test your cold blood.

Sekiro will be available from 22 March.

First Store Sales Of Anthem Paint Gloomy Picture: Only 25% Of Destiny 2

The first sales figures of Anthem are there. However, they are not very good and could mean a lot of problems for the game.

A few days ago, Anthem is now available and many players have plunged into the new Cooper shooter from BioWare. But how many players are there? Is Anthem selling well? The answer may be a clear “no”. Because at least in comparison with other top titles, the sales of Anthem are rather low.

Only a quarter of Destiny 2: The basis of these statements are the sales figures in the UK. Although they are not representative of the whole world, they often give a first impression of the performance of a game. These are so-called “box sales”, ie the sales of the classic box version of a game. Digital sales are not included, as unknown:

• Anthem sold only half as many units as Destiny 2 on the opening weekend.
• In comparison with its predecessor Destiny (1), it is even only 10% of the sold units.
• Even Mass Effect: Andromeda has sold twice as often as Anthem.
• Anthem also hangs behind sales of single-player games like Kingdom Hearts 3 or the remake of Resident Evil 2

Online sales are the big stranger: Nevertheless, one should enjoy all these sales figures for the time being with caution. After all, Anthem can not only be purchased as a boxed version but can also be purchased digitally or gambled on the PC in conjunction with the “Origin Access Premier” service. How high the actual sales figures are can only be guessed at.

EA has estimated the digital sales on PS4 and Xbox One at about 47% for the past year – so at least one can guess that Anthem is not doing so well.

Fans are worried about support: In the various discussions on this topic are already the first fears and concerns of the community. So it is feared that EA could simply “drop” Anthem, as it had done with Mass Effect: Andromeda. Here, intended DLCs were simply deleted without replacement and never published.

Are you surprised by these sales of Anthem? Do you think the game performs better in other regions (like the US)? Or are the digital sales numbers probably many times higher?
