Anthem game developer BioWare and its top leads on the development team talk about how long the game’s story is and how it compares to previous titles.
Anthem story length is going to be hard to compare
Several fans are already asking and making up theories on how long the game will be when it launches. Two leads in the development team, lead producer of the game Ben Irving and lead producer at BioWare Michael Gamble replied to these questions.
Irving answered to one user who wanted to know if the game was on par with other BioWare titles like Mass Effect and Dragon Age. He was rather evasive about it and the studio could not compare because it was a difficult thing to do.
It’s a really hard thing to compare so we aren’t really commenting on the crit path length for Anthem. Depends how you play, etc https://t.co/Xit50f5thi

Gamble also gave a response to another user who was asking for an approximation on how long the story would take to complete. He did say that it will depend on how they will choose to play it and there are tons of side missions to finish. He also said that he has only played through everything a few times.
This is a good question, but tough to answer. Everyone is different. There’s a lot of side missions, but some folks will just want to rush the main story and then hit strongholds. It’s a lot, though. Personally, I’ve only played through everything a few times. https://t.co/uXe0cXVOrj

That remark really started a big discussion between the users regarding the completion times. He did say that the game will grow after it has launched.
Also remember Anthem will continue to grow after release too!
