Electronic Arts has announced that Anthem will release on February 22nd. Although the game will support both solo and co-op play, it will not offer an offline mode and will require an always-online connection in order to be played.
You need to be online to play https://t.co/KsojxJ0rvJ

Moreover, EA stated that the game will not feature any loot boxes. According to BioWare’s Mark Darrah there will be no ability to pay for power, however the game will have cosmetic and vanity items available for purchase. So yeah, while there won’t be any loot boxes, there will be micro-transactions.
On the other hand, lead producer Mike Gamble told Game Informer that the game won’t feature any romances.
“There are no romances. There are friendships. Some of the stuff we did with Mass Effect—the Citadel DLC specifically—there was a lot of friendship moments. You and Garrus sitting up, shooting—that kind of stuff, we want to lean into that. The romantic stuff, we’re moving away from that for Anthem.”
In Anthem, up to four players explore and battle in a dangerous, mysterious place populated by great characters and a unique BioWare story. Players will also create stories of their own while they play, so no two journeys are the same. Javelin exosuits make their pilots powerful heroes in the world, with awesome weapons and incredible special abilities that allow for combat and exploration in a hostile environment. Players will be able to customize and personalize their suits with unique paint jobs and gear so they’ll have the right tools to confront almost any situation, and look good doing it.
Last but not least, below you can find the official cinematic trailer, as well as a video showing 4 minutes of gameplay footage.
Enjoy!

PASS! RIP BIOWARE
I LIKE IT
day one buy for me BIOWARE its back baby ! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/d99c369db86d5f958210fc0f8edd17f8b98cfdc8c77935e771451d92dd3dfdf8.jpg
Mass Effect 2 was such a great game, too bad it was also infested with tons of dlc’s. but after that Bioware quality just gone downhill.
To be fair, those were the good kind of DLC where they actually added meaningful story content. Only one I walked away from disappointed was Kasumi.
hahaahahahahahahaahaahha no wait you serious?
if its online only no
IDK what are u talking about the game looks promising after playing Horizon zero dawn (very bad game bad mechanics,texture loading,story ) hopefully this ANTHEM game will be an amazing
i think this time they showed true gameplay they were some lod pop in
I look forward to watching gameplay vids of this on YouTube for free.
As long as no one is stupid enough to buy it without watching reviews we’ll all be fine…
I already had next to no interest to play this game but now it’s no reason at all.
No lootboxes doesn’t mean quality, well at the revealing trailer is better than BFV. Put an offline mode and single player story campaign, then I might get some interest.
No offline mode.. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/892d3e9fc929b5a5ebf6f5ee8876a7673fe102b45d3e09084f0943a8a3e43b48.gif
Oh Denzel… even when you’re slamming the door shut you look like a boss…

but but think of all the pointless repetitive grinding you can do and all the micro transactions you can buy to give money to ea.
No thanks, I better play David cage games…
Graphics were great, gameplay ? generic and slow, it’s a AAA online game, pay to play a game that if it’s successful, they will release Anthem 2 which leads to it’s death (Destiny), if it’s not then it’s going to die anyway (Destiny 2), in short waste of money regardless. Play Warframe, it’s free and monetization won’t be as awful as whatever EA going to release. also it’s alot faster and have tons of content and they will adding new things all the time.
Destiny 2 is not dead bud. Even more people will come back in september when they release a major update. Warframe is pretty good for a free to play game but it’s ultimately boring and doesn’t have the same charm, isn’t as satisfying to play.
destiny 2 had 50% sales drop from the first game.
Still had 9-10 million sales at least. Plus, it doesn’t matter how many casuals buy the game. All that matters is the core community. Destiny 2 ain’t no Lawbreakers. Community is still alive and passionate about the game.
nothing is lawbreakers. But destiny 3 is probably not gonna make up its development cost. Then the core community of grinders is irrelevant.
This.
It is dead buddy.

Doesn’t mean anything.
It means 1.1 million people played the game yesterday. Considering that not everyone logs in every single day, it’s safe to come to the conclusion that the game still probably has at least 2 million players (probably more) almost a year after launch. How is that a dead game by any stretch of imagination ?
That number is pure BS. even if it was anything close to that it’s nothing compared to first one which was an exclusive title. and no it’s not safe to come to such conclusion and game is not even one year old. it’s not a 5 hour long single player shooter it a AAA mmo wanna be title.
i made a post but its not approved yet.
Grinding for 40 hours is something people actually enjoy in games. If that’s not your thing, it’s okay. But don’t make it sound like it’s not good just because you don’t like it.
My suggestion: Treat a game or genre of games that doesn’t grab or interest you like a language you don’t speak. You might not understand it or be able to follow along but someone out there does and is enjoying the conversation.
Why ea even did a conference this year ? all i saw was some dudes playing fifa 18 like go home EA you drunk
No ofline? No buy for me. simple
Back then Ea challenge everything now ea fu^*c**k everything
Rip bioware
See, you’re just talking about it from what you’ve heard other clueless people repeating. You know nothing about the game. First thing that gave you away was the fact that you think it’s filled to the brim with monetization. Yeah, it has some cosmetic lootboxes that contain emotes and other stuff that literally nobody who plays the game cares about. But the real loot, like weapons and armor, is only earned through gameplay. Second, compared to Overwatch, you can earn the “cool cosmetic stuff” just by playing so much faster. I’ve played the latest expansion pretty casually for a month and have everything. I’ve played Overwatch for months and months and there was so much I didn’t have.
