BioWare fans who have been eagerly awaiting the studio's next big thing following the unexpected implosion of
Mass Effect: Andromeda finally have a reason to celebrate as
Anthem has gone gold and is ready for release. This fact was recently confirmed by
Anthem Lead Cinematics Animator Tal Peleg.
"Going gold" means that development is complete and the sandbox is ready for manufacturing ahead of its 22nd February release. The good news is tha
t Metro: Exodus has been pushed back and will now release on Feb. 15, but
Anthem will still directly compete with other major February video games such as
Far Cry: New Dawn, Jump Force, Crackdown 3, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy, and
Trial Rising.
There's no denying that
Anthem is one massive undertaking for BioWare as the upcoming title is the studio's first full-blown MMO since 2011's S
tar Wars: The Old Republic. In this multiplayer action-RPG, you will control four different
Iron Man-like exosuits called Javelins and embark on a dangerous journey to discover why gods have abandoned the vast universe – in which you shape your own destiny.
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.
