At its core, BioWare's
Anthem is an online multiplayer action RPG that will give you an opportunity to control four different Iron Man-like exosuits (called Javelins) and embark on a journey to discover why gods have abandoned the universe, in which only the bold few have the courage to leave the world they know behind, explore a vast landscape of primeval beauty, and finally confront ancient dangers.
The latest
Anthem gameplay trailer puts the spotlight on the technologically advanced Storm and while he may be the most fragile Javelin, his enemies should not underestimate him, as the Storm can channel unbelievable amounts of elemental force. The Storm Javelin is also capable of wielding every weapon type except for Heavy Weapons (which can only be used by the massive Colossus Javelin).
In
Anthem, you can equip your Javelin with the gear you want in The Forge, the game’s expanded inventory section, in which you will be also able to customize your very own exosuit the way you like, including helmet, arms, chest, legs, paint, and even animations. Considering that
Anthem is scheduled to release on February 22, we should learn a whole lot more about this MMORPG in the coming days.
In the meantime, be sure to take a closer look at the Storm Javelin 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.
