Yesterday, EA revealed that BioWare's next game is called Anthem, and showed us a brief teaser (opens in new tab). We also learned that it would be out Fall 2018, at least according to its official YouTube channel (opens in new tab). Now we have the full gameplay reveal, which you can watch above, from Microsoft's press conference today (opens in new tab).

Today we learned that we'll be 'Freelancers' who fight in jetpacking exo-suits—that can fly Iron Man-style, even underwater—in mutliplayer co-op missions. As we suspected, this looks very much like 'What if BioWare made Destiny?' We'll keep you updated as we learn more.
