Anthem - scientific fantasy,but not science fiction in the style of Mass Effect

The new game BioWare - Anthem, announced on E3 2017, refers to the genre of "scientific fantasy", like Star Wars, and not science fiction, like Mass Effect. This was told by Aaron Flynn during an interview with the CBC about the genre of the game and what it can be compared to from the past studio.
We call this genre a scientific fantasy. It's like Star Wars or the Marvel universe, where a lot of amazing things happen, but we do not need to worry about why they happen and how science fits there.
Mass Effect is a hardcore science-fiction IP, but Anthem is designed to have fun in a rich and exotic world that delays you.
Anthem is developed by veterans of BioWare as part of the Edmonton studio, which created SW: KOTOR. The game will include a vast open world where players take on the role of a freelancer studying unknown planets and defending humanity.
