Anthem is done and ready to go for launch, BioWare has revealed its unique social space called Launch Bay. This is a lobby-like setting in the game where players can interact with one another before missions. The Launch Bay can support up to 16 players at a time, players can get in the same page before jumping into action.
This social hub will also have multiple forges where players can change up their character and contract options that are similar to quests. Another similar game that also has a lobby like this one is Destiny 2, think about the Launch Bay as a Destiny 2 Tower.
Gamble also mentioned that this Launch Bay will not be available for the upcoming demo of the game. The demo will be different from the final product. Here are the schedules for the demos, both VIP and open. (Thanks to Polygon)
