Anthem release date, gameplay, alpha, trailer – latest details on BioWare’s new game

Anthem was undoubtedly one of the biggest reveals at E3 2017, and is BioWare’s brand new IP. From the minds behind the original Mass Effect, the game looks to be targeting the likes of Destiny 2 and The Division in terms of being the next huge, live MMO-like. But what is it, exactly? We’ve got all the details right here. Anthem places you in mechanised combat suits known as Javelins, effectively turning us all into Iron Man. These suits enhance strength, allow the user to wield incredibly powerful weapons, and even fly like a fighter jet. Those that use these Javelins - known through Anthem’s world as Freelancers - take on jobs to help the planet’s surviving population. This is a world plagued by monstrous creatures and colossal, destructive storms. By banding together in co-op missions, you’ll be able to do your part in making the world an easier place to exist within. EA and BioWare have kept much of Anthem’s details to themselves, but a deep dive on stage during EA Play at E3 2018, lots of information from PAX West 2018, and a Twitter Q&A with Anthem’s executive producer Mark Darrah, means we now have a better understanding of the game.
