News: Jump into the world of Anthem either with friends or solo and experience a title that will continually add new content.

Anthem is now available from Bioware and Electronic Arts. In Anthem players take on the role of Freelancers, and will work together to unleash their power with amazing abilities and coordinated teamwork, utilizing each javelin’s unique strengths to build a formidable team.

Anthem delivers a number of different 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, you 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.

“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.”

Bioware has revealed that the 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 conflicts.

Anthem is available for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC. If you are an EA Access member you can play the game for up to 10 hours to get a feel for Bioware’s latest adventure. If you are a Origin Access Premier member on PC you can download the full game and have fun exploring this new world. Take a look at the launch trailer below and tell us what you think.
