Anthem Will Be a ‘Complete Package’ on Day One, Says Producer
With Anthem, BioWare is keen to avoid the problem many games have run into as of late, with the perception that, at launch, releases may be "incomplete."
Speaking to USGamer during PAX West, Executive Producer Mark Darrah said he feels consumers will be getting "a good, valuable game" when Anthem launches.

So, both I think it's a complete package but it's also the starting line of an experience as well."
