EA announced that he would close the Hymn BioWare on January 12, 2026.
Since the only content of Anthem is online, it means that the game will not be played after this date.
The Premium currency in the game will cease to be sold today, on July 3, although the existing balances can still be used until the hymn is closed. The game will be removed from EA Play on August 15, 2025, but it will still be available for download if it is already in your library as long as it is officially turned off.
Anthem began in February 2019 for summer reviews, including our own 6.5/10, which criticized frozen, lack of Polish and diversity and a mismatched history. The game sold 5 million copies in December 2023, which did not reach EA in the amount of 6 million copies in the first few months. Although EA continued to update and improved the anthem in the months that took place at its premiere, in February 2021 EA stopped the busy development of the game. The next month, his director of the game left the company.
In FAQ EA he stated that the company did not appear as a result of sunset. This will come as a relief, considering that EA has undergone a number of huge staff cuts over the past few years, which have made the staff cut.
In May, EA closed Cliffhanger games and canceled its game in black leopard in developing development, releasing an unknown number of people. In the same month he implemented a mandatory return to the office for all employees.
Only a month, EA slowed about 300 people, and at the beginning of this year the Hymnowy BioWare program was restructured, transferring some programmers to other projects and releasing others. It was all in 2025 last year.
As for BioWare, he is currently focused on Mass Effect 5 after the dragon dragon: The Veilguard.
