Anthem's 2019 roadmap reveals significant new features like Legendary Missions and Mastery System

Anthem is a shared-world third-person shooter from BioWare. BioWare is the studio behind famous franchises like Dragon Age and Mass Effect. The title launched on February 22, but if you're on PC and an Origin Access Premier subscriber, you gained access to the full game last Friday. Just like Destiny, the developer wants to support the game for the next ten years.

Anthem has been criticized for its lack of compelling content and in order to address this, BioWare has laid out a plan for the next couple of months. The roadmap offers more insight on what BioWare is planning for the game and the community, including new Legendary Missions, events, the Mastery System, leaderboards, guilds, strongholds, and much more. The roadmap also includes regular updates such as quality-of-life improvements, fixes, along with daily, weekly, and monthly challenges and rewards.
