Publisher Electronic Arts shut down the servers of Bioware’s cooperative looter-shooter Anthem, closing the era that started in February 2019. Following the rocky launch with mixed reviews from the community and the press due to the lack of gameplay features, bugs and general content, the game was in for an overhaul.
However, instead of going through with fixing and potentially reworking parts of the game, the team made a difficult decision to stop the new development and instead focus on Dragon Age: The Veilguard, Star Wars: The Old Republic, and the Next Mass Effect.
In Anthem, up to four players could explore and battle in a dangerous, mysterious place populated by great characters and a unique BioWare story. Javelin exosuits made their pilots into powerful heroes in the world, with awesome weapons and incredible special abilities that allow for combat and exploration in a hostile environment. Players could customize and personalize their suits with unique paint jobs and gear to look good while confronting all sorts of dangerous foes.
