Anthemhas reached its final stretch of development before it launches in late February. Between now and launch, BioWare’s schedule is full of demos and early access periods, which means that if BioWare is going to start a flurry of marketing forAnthem, there’s no better time than now. And so it’s started. Today BioWare released a lengthy 6+ minute trailer forAnthembreaking down the upcoming online multiplayer game’s story, progression, and customization. And there are more trailers to come in the days ahead.
Today’s trailer, Part 1 of a “This is Anthem” series of videos, won’t surprise many who have been followingAnthem’s development over the past several months. This new video serves more like a recap or summary of thetrailers and livestreamsthat BioWare has released and hosted recently. That said, it’s a lot of ground to cover so even fans that have been closely followingAnthemmay hear something they’d previously missed.
Also, while the new trailer doesn’t necessarily break any news, it does offer plenty of new gameplay to pore over. In fact, the gameplay from this video looks like it’s either from a more recent build or perhaps even the final release version of the game than most media previously released. Or in other words, this trailer features some of the most impressive visuals yet shown ofAnthem.Anthemmay not have gone gold yet, but it definitely looks closer than ever.
Part 2 of the “This is Anthem” video series should be forthcoming, hopefully in the next few days. According to BioWare the second part of the series will focus on two core aspects ofAnthem: theendgame, including a look at Strongholds, andAnthem’s “expanding shared world,” which could mean BioWare’s plans for the game post-launch. While endgame has been touched on in discussions, BioWare has been remiss to show off actual endgame content. So the next This is Anthem video should have a lot of exciting new information to share.
Anthemreleases February 22 on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
