“[Anthem is] an action open-world RPG, a social game where you and your friends go off on quests and journeys. It’s a game that we’ve been working on for almost four years now, and it’s a game that we see, once we launch it next year will be the start of, I think, maybe a 10-year journey for us.

It’s an important game for BioWare, it’s an important game for EA as a company, it’s an important game for me personally. I’ve been very invested in this. What motivates me to stay in this industry and push as hard as I can for it.”

Söderlund also talks about the success of EA DICE’s Frostbite engine and upcoming games that will come out on the Xbox One X.
