There's no denying that BioWare's
Anthem won't heave an easy launch, as it will hit stores during an incredibly heated release season. In February, players will have a chance to choose between brand new big-budget releases such
Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown, Crackdown 3, Jump Force, Overkill's The Walking Dead (the long-delayed console version),
God Eater 3, Metro: Exodus and
DiRT Rally 2.0.
Anthem will offer players an opportunity to control four different exosuits, called Javelins, that are basically RPG character classes. The ability to create combo and use attacks to boost cooldowns is a major component in class building and you can equip your Javelin with the gear you want in The Forge, the game’s expanded inventory section that also allows you to customize your suit the way you like.
EA has released the first part of a new video series that will be focused on the upcoming MMORPG's core gameplay features. This recently released extended trailer reveals new details on the javelins, customization, and progression. Plus, you can learn more about the Freelancers and your purpose in the world of
Anthem. Without further ado, be sure to check the said explosive footage down below:
In a world left unfinished by the gods, a shadowy faction threatens all of humankind. The only thing that stands between these villains and the ancient technology they covet are the Freelancers. Join up to three other players and assemble high-tech, hand-crafted, uniquely powerful exosuits. Explore vast ruins, battle deadly enemies, and claim otherworldly artifacts. With every mission, you and your Javelin exosuits grow in power. Fight the dangers of an ever-changing world. Rise united to defeat evil. Triumph as one.
Anthem will be released for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC (via Origin) on February 22, 2019.
