Bioware announced via theirofficial blogthat theAnthemdemo results have surpassed their expectations.
On the technical side, the last session of the demo from February 2 to 3’s weekend went particularly well and no considerable issue emerged. BioWare took theissues that plagued the first weekend at heartand seems they successfully managed to avoid further problems this time. Moreover, in total, more than 40 million hours ofAnthemhave been played by gamers around the world over the two demo weekends.
BioWare stressed out the demo only showcased a tiny bit ofAnthem’s content and is now focusing on finalizing the launch build of the game. The launch version ofAnthemwill feature a long list of updates and improvements not present in the demo builds. Some of these new additions have already been detailed by BioWare, like asprint function usable in Fort Tarsisto let players get around the city faster.
BioWare is also already working onAnthem’s post-launch content, and glimpses of that content were already shown in the demo on February 3.
We’ve been extensively coveringAnthemat DualShockers, including some gameplay footage of one of thelate game strongholds players will be able to take on.
AsAnthemlets players customize their Javelin, the powered suits in the game, many players let their creativity explode, making some unique customizations. As such, BioWare shared some screenshots of the most creative Javelin customizations players have built in theAnthemweekend demo. You can find them in the gallery below.
Personally, I’m not particularly fond of what we’ve seen ofAnthem,though I might try out the game if I ever have the time one day. But then again, I’m the kind of guy who’d rather use that free time to play niche games or even replayTribesinstead.
Anthemwill be launching in a few days now, on February 22, for PS4, Xbox One, and PC. However, EA Origin Access Premier members on PC will be able to play the entire game starting February 15.
