“I feel remarkably similar to when we launched the original Mass
Effect trilogy,” said Casey Hudson, General Manager of BioWare. “I’m
excited, anxious and incredibly proud of what our team has accomplished.
I sincerely hope our players enjoy what we have created, and I look
forward to the countless stories we’ll tell in the world of Anthem
in the weeks and months to come.”
Anthem also delivers amazing characters and deep lore that allows
players to immerse themselves in the world and embrace its mysteries, as
well as regular new content that will change the world and keep the
experience fresh and new. In the game, players will square off against
the nefarious Monitor, the leader of the militaristic Dominion who seeks
to bend the very powers of creation and destruction to his will. The
Freelancers must thwart the Monitor’s schemes to control the Anthem of
Creation, or else he could tear the entire world apart and plunge the
planet into ultimate chaos.
Launch is just the beginning for Anthem, as the game will
continue to grow and evolve through free live service content updates.
Over the next 90 days alone the game will deliver new missions, new
rewards, a new stronghold and more. Perhaps the most noteworthy
inclusion will be the introduction of the first Cataclysm, a
world-changing event that will bring with it an entirely new experience.
During the course of the game’s life new stories, characters and
villains will emerge and players will be treated to ongoing excitement
and conflicts.
Anthem is developed by BioWare and is available now for Xbox One,
Origin on PC and PlayStation®4. For more information on Anthem
