It's not exactly/fully anachronistic though. It's actually called In Media Res, it's a storytelling technique where you start in the middle of the story and tells the past little by little. Though I do not play it, I believe I have read that God of War used this too. There's a couple of reason why you do this, it can be to get it to the interesting parts or to make the reader feel curious or to make the story seems bigger or just the writer's preference.
It's up to you whether you want to go by publication or chronological order but honestly, I think it's better to go with publication order because I think that's how it was meant to be read, with build-ups and everything. In fact, I think that if you read V11 before the other Volumes, the part with Erica might not have full impact.
