Anthem: Players hope for social hub as in Destiny

QUELLE: EA

Again and again Bioware's upcoming online shooter Anthem is compared with Destiny and The Division. If this comparison really fits, is still not sure and yet many online shooter fans push the title in this direction. Therefore, they are now hoping for a social hub to meet other players.

Right now, Anthem's gameplay is about to happen: You're traveling alone in Fort Tarsis, where you'll experience your Bioware RPG-style personal story through conversations with NPCs. If you want to fly a mission with your Javelin then you can connect with other players via matchmaking or go out together with friends. However, many online shooter fans are not "social" enough.

Does Anthem get a social hub?

Many players are wondering if there could not be a social hub in Anthem. A zone where players meet and interact with each other, as in Destiny and The Divison. Such zones would improve the longevity of a game. Many are worried about traveling alone in Fort Tarsis. Some would like to show their javelin and loot to other players to indicate.

Michael Gamble of Bioware responded to the concerns with a "We hear you very well" suggesting that a social hub might come. However, this could also bring some problems. On the one hand, Bioware deliberately wanted to keep the gameplay different from that of Destiny and The Division. Fort Tarsis is said to be a single-player zone so players can experience an exciting story there, as they are used to from the single-player titles of Bioware. Turning Fort Tarsis into a social hub could lead to problems with the narrative style of the story.
