Bioware offer a detailed look at Anthem's progression

Bioware has released a developer livestream featuring a healthy amount of gameplay from their upcoming title Anthem. In it, lead producer Ben Irving and gameplay producer Darrin McPherson focus their attention on loot, gear, and progression, all vital components of the shared world action game. The start of the video deals with your loadout, the gear you use and how to set things up how the level system works for your pilot and how loot levels and rarity factor in. Basically, it's mainly foreplay as the menus and setup for a session are explained in great detail (there certainly seems to be a lot of depth here). One of the key areas explained is how the elemental attacks work, or more specifically how the stats that govern these abilities work.

Towards the end of the session, the developers jump into a bit of action to showcase some of these abilities and explain how they work in the game itself.

Anthem is set for release across PC, PS4, and Xbox One on February 22 next year, and there's a VIP Demo for EA Access, Origin Access and pre-orders starting on January 25.
