EA and BioWare showed off some new footage today for Anthem. First off, we now have a release date set for the game. That date is February 22, 2019 and it will be released for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.

Second, we have some new gameplay details in addition to a cinematic trailer and gameplay reveal. The gameplay reveal is about 18 minutes long and largely includes talking heads for a while. The bulk of the actual gameplay footage starts around the 13 minute, 19 second mark. You know, in case you want to skip ahead.

Pre-orders are also now available for the Anthem. There are various bonuses available to you depending on which package deal you go for. Finally, BioWare confirmed today on stage that the only microtransactions in Anthem will be for cosmetic items and you will know exactly what you are purchasing if you decide to buy anything. There are no RNG loot boxes to purchase.
In Anthem, up to four players explore and battle in a dangerous, mysterious place populated by great characters and a unique BioWare story. Players will also create stories of their own while they play, so no two journeys are the same. Javelin exosuits make their pilots powerful heroes in the world, with awesome weapons and incredible special abilities that allow for combat and exploration in a hostile environment. Players will be able to customize and personalize their suits with unique paint jobs and gear so they’ll have the right tools to confront almost any situation, and look good doing it.

Players excited to enter the dangerous world of Anthem are now able to pre-order the game. Those who do will receive VIP demo access and a unique in-game Founders banner. Those who pre-order the Anthem standard edition will also receive a legendary weapon and the Legion of Dawn Armor Pack for the Ranger Javelin as part of their pre-order content. In addition, those who purchase the Legion of Dawn Edition of Anthem for pre-order or after launch will also receive the full set of Legion of Dawn Armor Packs (including the Ranger Javelin Legion of Dawn Armor Pack), a Ranger Javelin gear attachment, the digital soundtrack and more.*

Anthem is developed by BioWare and will be available worldwide February 22 for Origin for PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4. Origin Access Premier members can be the first to play the full game with unlimited access on PC starting February 15, and EA Access and Origin Access Basic members can enjoy up to 10 hours of play time as part of the Play First Trial.
