EA announced that they set out for the sunset, closing the game servers on January 12, 2026, after which the title only online will no longer be possible to play.
As part of the preparation of this anthem and the premium currencies, they were removed from sales.
This happens “after careful consideration” and gives about half a year notifications of closure. The BioWare team signs, saying: “We deeply appreciate your sacrifice, passion and support over the years and we would like to thank for that.”
To be sincere, I am surprised that EA kept servers so long, considering how Anthem was one of the most shameful flaps of the last decade.
After restless development, Anthem began on February 22, 2019 to a generally impoverished reaction, fighting with performance, errors and generally not invigorating in the same way as rivals such as Destiny 2 and the division at that time. Confidential stories about the restless concept of the game in BioWare appeared immediately, the company withdrew after the announcement after the announcement that the ACT 1 road map was seriously delayed.
When the continuous development of the game was passed on by BioWare Austin, it was six months before adding the first game of the game, Cataclysm, followed by smaller seasonal events in the game. It was clear that something dramatic was needed to revive the fortune of the game, and hope it could be that Anthem could be that these plans broken by a slower pace of development by Pandemia in 2020, and EA eventually pulled out the plug in 2021 around the second anniversary of the game.
This effectively donated the anthem to historical books and it’s strenuous to believe that many people have played in the last five years. I would completely believe if you told me that the servers were already closed in 2022 or 23 years.
The silver lining is that if you want to play a game with quite great Iron Man style, you still have the rest of this year.
