Discover all the ways you can play Anthem early and choose the option that’s right for you.
BioWare's multiplayer shooter Anthem was terminated this week because EA no longer wanted to maintain servers for people to play the game on, and without them, no one can play the game. But the former executive producer of Anthem has revealed that BioWare had technology working, close to the game's release, that would enable us to host our own servers to play the game on.
I'd be fine just playing it as a localhost and dumb as rocks AI bots. Just give me the choice.
BioWare and EA had previously said the game would be accessible to those who owned it until it shuts down on January 12.
Time flies (like a Javelin suit): there are only 10 days left to play BioWare's ill-fated multiplayer game Anthem before the servers are switched off, presumably forever.
In my opinion, Anthem was a good IP that was worthy of a no man's sky or cyberpunk 2077 treatment.
To this day, their sub reddit is active and I was able to get into a game quickly a few weeks ago when I booted it up.
It is a shame EA and Bioware didn't want to give the game the overhaul it needed to turn it into a competent looter shooter.
I wholeheartedly agree. If ANY game deserved to get the rework/relaunch it deserved it was this one. More than literally any other. Even over FFXIV, No Mans Sky etc.
I just finished this up a couple days ago. Although it's a bit repetitive and the story is meh, the game feels great to play. Even if you can only hop on the game for a couple hours before it shuts down, I think it's worth it.
2nd comment attempt (1st doesn’t appear & this may register as duplicate):
They can spend billions to buy or get bought but they can’t spend a fraction of that to fix or overhaul a game that could have been truly special, smh.
Anthem looks amazing and I'd pre-ordered it in a heartbeat otherwise, but I just don't trust EA. The same could be said for Battlefield V.
If EA does gamers right with BFV, I might pre-order Anthem then.
Each way requires handing money over to EA, surprise surprise! I imagine we'll see an open beta at some point because if they don't do one, I'll be even more sceptical than I already am.
The option that's right for me is to wait til there is over ten or so official AND peer reviews that make me want to buy it.
Until then I am not giving them a cent.
If you ask me, EA should just shut the fuck up and keep their filthy hands and mouth off this one, and let Bioware lead with this.
My way to play : Not at all. Bioware was once a company that released games looked forward to . I have no interest in Biowares version of Destiny
