No confirmed dates for Act 2 or Act 3 leads me to believe it will be influenced by how well the game sells.

That aside, a roadmap is nice for those getting in at launch. It will suck though if they release that beefy update in March, then go silent for months until Act 2.

The position on the bottom corresponds to their position in the Act. I believe the guild/leaderboards would come in the Cataclysm update since they're towards the right side.

Act 1, but the act itself is divided in 3 updates and starts on March. It doesn't mean that Guilds will come on the first update nor does it mean that the second update will be during March. My guess is that it'll be something like one update per month with new content.

That's all part of act 1.

I don't understand. Am I missing something here? All of act 1 accounts for a single new stronghold, some new missions and whatever the cataclysm ends up being. That seems really sparse to me. On top of that the graphics hardly seem tp have any information at all and yet folks are acting as if it has assuaged their doubts.

Looks like a good start. I assume they'll give a better look at this stuff and beyond around launch time.

"We will be continuously supporting Anthem with new content, features, and quality-of-life fixes. Those will be delivered through a series of updates called "Acts", which advance Anthem's storylines through new locations, gameplay features, character interactions, and more. Act 1 begins in March, and will culminate in a Cataclysm – a world-changing, time-limited event that comes with extreme weather, dangerous new enemies, and new mysteries to solve. What will happen in future Acts? We can't wait for you to find out! "

That's not how it works. Act 2 and 3 are already being worked on well beforehand. It's just a matter of them firming up if they'll hit skated milestone dates

Whatever Cataclysm is, i hope it's randomized content, similar to Rifts in Diablo 3 and maps in Path of Exile.

Good to have a road map of plans, but to not have date ranges for everything past March is worrisome. Is this like the road maps for the Battlefront and Battlefield games where it takes more than a year to see the new stuff added? 6 month gaps between releases?

This is the same song and dance we hear with every online service game, the difference is they usually confirm dates like Battlefield did months ahead. I simply don't trust it anymore

Because they can change. See BFV and combined arms. That says march. But we are getting it next week.
