The world is also filled with savage beasts and ruthless marauders where Freelancers are called to defeat the forces plotting to conquer humanity.

In Anthem, up to four players explore and battle in a dangerous, mysterious place populated by great characters and a unique BioWare story. Players will also create stories of their own while they play, so no two journeys are the same. Javelin exosuits make their pilots powerful heroes in the world, with awesome weapons and incredible special abilities that allow for combat and exploration in a hostile environment. Players will be able to customize and personalize their suits with unique paint jobs and gear so they’ll have the right tools to confront almost any situation, and look good doing it.

Electronic Arts announced the dates for the VIP Demo of Anthem, as well as the Open Demo.

Fans who pre-order Anthem, as well as EA Access and Origin Access subscribers,will get access to the VIP Demo on January 25, 2019, and all players will have a chance to step into their Javelins and experience Anthem for themselves on February 1, 2019. Both Demos will be available on Origin for PC, Xbox One and PS4. VIP Demo players will be the first Freelancers to face the dangers of the world of Anthem, and will receive an in-game item celebrating their trailblazing spirit.

“It’s time for the fans to get their hands on Anthem and experience it for themselves,” said Mike Gamble, Lead Producer for Anthem. “We truly hope they enjoy this taste of flying and fighting in this brand-new world our team has been crafting for many years.”

Last night at The Game Awards BioWare also unveiled the latest trailer for Anthem, providing the most in-depth look yet at the game’s villain, The Monitor, and his grand designs. The trailer also introduced some of the dangers lurking in the world that players will face as they try and quell the chaotic powers of the Anthem of Creation.
