ANTHEM |
Game |Here's everything we know about it so far. ANTHEM is the next big game from Bioware, the creators of Mass Effect and Dragon Age.
Anthem What is it ?
Announced by BioWare and EA Games back at E3 this year, Anthem is the publisher's answer to Activision and Bungie's own Destiny series.
The game - a shared world shooter revolving around loot, mech suits and exploration - has been the subject of many gamer's attention since its light reveal in the summer.
We got a trailer at E3, but since then EA has been pretty quiet on the status of the game: we don't even know when it's supposed to properly release.

It looks like BioWare's next game has been postponed, but not indefinitely.
ANTHEM UPDATE - Release Date Delay - 4 February 2018
Previous rumours stated that EA was pushing the shared world shooter back into 2019, news which was leaked two weeks back by Jason Schreier at Kotaku.
Schreier, known for his deep dives into studios, suggested the game will release no later than March 2019 (as to be in line with EA's fiscal year), and that a release date of 2018 'was never realistic'.
The article also suggests developer BioWare has a lot at stake with Anthem - after Mass Effect: Andromeda proved to be a miss for many, the future of the studio could prove to rely on the success of the game.
The tone of the piece suggests Anthem will be an 'all or nothing' project for the studio, so here's hoping the game does eventually see a release, and that it's a strong enough project to keep the Dragon Age and Mass Effect developer alive.

Anthem Gameplay
The game will see you take control of Javelins - mech suits that come in a variety of configurations that can be used to explore the world.
The game's initial trailer (which can be seen below) shows off the world and the sort of gameplay we can expect - it's mostly in third-person, and there seems to be as much as an emphasis on combat as there is on exploration.
