This year's February will be a true bloodbath, as the month is packed with big-budget titles such as
Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown, Crackdown 3, Jump Force, Civilization 6: Gathering Storm, Overkill's The Walking Dead (the console version),
God Eater 3, Metro: Exodus, and
DiRT Rally 2.0. Anthem will be one of those titles trying to steal the spotlight from each other and top sales charts all over the world.
After the unexpected implosion of the acclaimed
Mass Effect series, BioWare is currently busy with the development on Anthem, the studio's answer to Activision's
Destiny and Ubisoft's
Tom Clancy's The Division. The upcoming online multiplayer action RPG will give you a chance to control
Iron Man-like exosuits, called Javelins, and embark on a journey to discover why gods have abandoned the universe.
You can watch over an hour of
Anthem gameplay footage down below, as BioWare has recently hosted a special preview event in Sweden, giving the chosen flew a chance to check out the game's latest build, and every fan of Tony Stark should be happy to hear that BioWare has seemingly pulled off flying in advanced exosuits pretty well. Without further ado, take a closer look at the Javelins in action:
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.
