Anthem

Anthem was an open-world-style mission-based cooperative third-person shooter featuring mech suits and other technological advancements. The title was developed by Bioware and featured engaging suit flight mechanics that allowed players to soar through the air. Unfortunately, due to development issues, all future plans for the title were scrapped as of February 2021.
