BioWare's New IP "Anthem" Looks Like The Destiny and Mass Effect that We Deserved

After a lackluster showing in Mass Effect: Andromeda, BioWare returns with a beautiful and exciting new franchise, "Anthem." The gameplay loop seems very reminiscent of Activision's Destiny, but with its own little flavor. The traversal probably being the most exciting difference. We can't wait to seamlessly transition from running, flying, and swimming with our friends as we grind for loot.

Here is the gameplay reveal from Xbox's E3 press conference. (It should also be noted that this game isn't exclusive to the Xbox One).
