Anthem Cross-Play Not Happening at Launch, Early Look at Storm Ultimate UI

With Anthem having a strong emphasis on online multiplayer and co-op play, some might be hoping that you’ll get to play with your friends regardless of platform. Well, that’s not happening — at least at launch.

Over on Twitter, Executive Producer Mark Darrah confirmed that there’s no Anthem cross-play or cross-progression happening at launch.

This isn’t surprising given how most games these days don’t have cross-play, and even some of the big AAA titles coming out won’t have it enabled either.

Also on Twitter, Lead Producer Ben Irving posted a picture of the Storm ultimate UI, which gives us our first early peek at the ultimate abilities in the game.
