Lead Writer For Mass Effect And Mass Effect 2 Is Working On Anthem
Today Drew Karpyshyn, the lead writer for the first two Mass Effect titles, revealed that he's working on Anthem, the recently revealed Bioware game. Karpyshyn returned to Bioware in September 2015 after leaving the company for a couple of years to focus on writing a trilogy of novels.
Karpyshyn was asked about his involvement with Anthem on Twitter and revealed he was working on the project:
Yes. Yes I am. :)

Our Take
Much of what made the first two Mass Effect games enjoyable was Karpyshyn's fiction. Let's hope he can help make Anthem feel as magical as those games.
