Anthem’s Story DLC Will Be Free for All Players
“First, so, no loot boxes,” executive producer Mark Darrah reiterated. “There will be some cosmetic stock that you can pay for but it will always be earnable. For storytelling we don’t want to divide the audience, we want people to be able to experience the same stories so none of that is going to be locked.”
High-level gear and weapons can be earned by playing the game but some of them may be locked behind certain challenges. For example, “Strongholds will give certain things,” according to Darrah.
Separately, in an interview with CinemaBlend, Darrah said that
Anthem‘s DLC will continue evolving character stories.
“Because of the way that we’re going to release story and additional character moments in
Anthem, we can continue to evolve the character forward in a way that we haven’t done before,” he explained.
