In
Anthem, players will delve into a vast world teeming with mysterious technology and forgotten treasures. In this quite beautiful, unfinished, and seemingly abandoned by gods land, only the bold few have the courage to leave civilization behind, explore a landscape of primeval beauty, and confront ancient dangers. To survive in this universe, the player will use four different exosuits, called Javelins.
The recently hosted, nearly 45-minute livestream of
Anthem was focused almost exclusively on the Interceptor Javelin, a rogue-style class that uses stealth to kill enemies. According to BioWare, the Interceptor "
may not be the mightiest javelin in your arsenal, its agility and evasion are unmatched, and it has more than enough power to bring the fight to anyone foolish enough to underestimate it."
Considering that Electronic Arts' last big thing for 2018 -
Battlefield V - has already launched, the publisher can now focus solely on promoting
Anthem. Game Director Jonathan Warner joins Lead Producers Mike Gamble and Ben Irving in the aforementioned livestream to delve into
Anthem's Strongholds and see more of the Interceptor javelin in action, so be sure to check it out down below:
On 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.
