Wasn't it mentioned in the Kotaku piece about ME:A that "Dylan" was the project name for that game? Either someone needs to get their facts straight or the people at Bioware have extremely poor imagination...

I guess it looks cool, provided it's not just a mech shooter. Though I'm concerned that it's using the Frostbite engine that was just partially blamed for ME:A sucking…

It doesn't sound like the game is going to be an rpg. More of a 1st/3rd person action game. If it's anything like Battlefront 2 that's coming out, i'm in.

Just like how Obsidian use USA state names for the code name of their projects, BioWare use musician names for their projects internally. Dylan was Anthem code name.

Sounds like an official announcement of "we are no longer making an rpg". I wonder if this is another reason why they aren't going to work on ME series for a while - similar looking setting and all.

Even if is a shooter and not a RPG, looks interesting and hope isn't a MP-only game...

It's interesting that Project Dylan/Anthem was begun about the same time as ME4/ME:A, see the following excerpt from The Story Behind Mass Effect: Andromeda's Troubled Five-Year Development
ME:A got pushed out the door at the end of March 2017, while Anthem is scheduled to be released between April 2018 and the April 2019 .
Too bad ME:A didn't get a bit more of the patience that Anthem got.

"For the fourth Mass Effect, BioWare wanted a fresh start…
Casey Hudson, executive producer on the main trilogy, would start a new team at BioWare Edmonton to work on a brand new intellectual property, which they gave the code-name Dylan. (That new IP’s code-name, a source said, came because Hudson and team wanted to make the Bob Dylan of video games—one that would be referenced for years to come.)"

"Socially disruptive design", beyond the wall live with the choices you make..something tells me they're doing similar to Division's "Dark zone"

Actually, I think everyone's wearing a mech suit so they don't have to do facial animations. Cut scenes just show you standing there while subtitles are displayed.

EA earnings call in May, EA says release date for their new IP (we now know as Anthem), will be pushed forward from fiscal year 2018 to fiscal year 2019 (which starts April 1, 2018).
Then game gets announced yesterday with an official trailer giving a release date of Spring 2018.
But wait! One day later (today) and the game is already delayed another 6 months to a release date of Fall 2018.
Hmm…

I thought EA bought Bioware so that they could add a quality RPG developer to their list. Its weird that they now have them making games to be an "answer" to MMO-lite "hobby-game genre" 
D) games like Destiny and the Division.
Oh well.
The MMO-lite / online bit (if true) puts me off. Offline and single player or no interest.

EA bought BioWare because they were making SWTOR actually. ME wasn't seen as anything special and they didn't have any faith whatsoever in DA.
