Expert Verified By

Many Fans Think Anthem Deserves A Second Chance!

Story Highlight
  • Given the fans’ demands, former Anthem lead producer Ben Irving would love to revive the game one day.
  • Many gamers argue that the IP held a lot of potential, and there are still many elements in the title that remain unmatched.
  • BioWare could possibly pick up the franchise again in the future after seeing the response of Anthem fans.

Anthem, developed by BioWare in 2019, is arguably one of the gaming industry’s biggest woes so far. The highly promising franchise was a dud after release and soon fell deep into oblivion. However, it still garnered a noticeable fan base that would have loved to see the game receive more support and love from the studio. Now, even a former Anthem lead developer wants to revive the game.

Former Anthem lead producer Ben Irving recently expressed interest in rebooting the game one day. Now working at Crystal Dynamics, he was taken aback by the massively positive reception his opinion received.

Why it matters: Many fans think that Anthem would have succeeded if it had received more support and content after launch, as the franchise had a lot of potential.

While replying to a fan post on Twitter praising Anthem, Ben Irving clarified that he’d love to revive the game one day. He added that he no longer works for EA or BioWare, so his involvement would likely be out of the question. However, he was still amazed by how everyone responded to his wishes.

It’s amazing how many people are still so enthusiastic about Anthem so many years later. Anthem still has all the potential in the world.

Given the enthusiasm of the fans, perhaps Ben Irving’s interest could entice BioWare to focus on the franchise once again.
