The "day one patch" for Anthem has just been detailed by BioWare and EA. This is the update that will be required for players to download prior to hopping into Anthem on February 22. As far as I can see, this update has not yet been released to those playing on either EA Access or Origin Access.

The update contains a decent list of fixes and quality of life improvements. Notably, it addresses the overly long loading times that many players have been very vocally complaining about. It also helps to address infinite loading screen issues, crash bugs, and more.

The full list of changes can be found below. ...

BioWare seems like they're committed to delivering a fairly steady stream of fresh content and updates for Anthem after it's released. Today, the Anthem team revealed a partial roadmap of what players can expect in the months ahead for the game.

Granted, we only get a real detailed look at the content that starts to come out in March, but it's better than nothing. March kicks off Act 01: Echoes of Reality. Acts 02 and 03 are teased, but their starting dates or what they will bring to the table were not revealed just yet.

You can get a look at the detailed Act...

While Anthem has had a bit of a rough go, especially in this past weekend's VIP demo, one thing that wasn't mentioned as being changed is the unusually slow movement speed in Fort Tarsis. Thankfully, BioWare was also listening to the numerous complaints about this artificial speed restriction in the main Anthem hub and have revealed that they are changing things up for the game's full release.

BioWare had intentionally reduced the movement speed in Fort Tarsis to make the player feel more human. This was meant to contrast the fast-paced movement players experienced when they...

The VIP demo weekend for Anthem has come and gone already. It was a bit of a bumpy road that included connection woes, infinite loading screens, and broken entitlements. These are just a few of the issues players encountered this past weekend.

It wasn't a complete bust of a weekend, but for a lot of fans and potentials it was certainly disappointing. BioWare's Head of Live Service Chad Robertson explains that while these issues were terrible, they should be fixed for next weekend's public demo. Furthermore, Robertson also goes on to say that the release version of Anthem already...

Anthem made an appearance at CES 2019 already. Nvidia showed off some 4K footage of Anthem gameplay during their CES 2019 keynote presentation. There isn't too much to say here that hasn't already been said before. Just enjoy the new gameplay footage!

Anthem will have a "VIP Demo" starting on January 25. The full game will be released on February 22 for the PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4.

If you got shivers reading that headline, you are in good company. Last night during The Game Awards, Anthem wasn't the only game that BioWare wanted to show off. The first glimpse at a new Dragon Age title was also shown off.

All that we really gather is that it will be called Dragon Age: The Dread Wolf Rises. Or maybe that's not the title and it's just a teaser sentence for the sake of the trailer. Who cares, it's new Dragon Age info!

It's the most teaser filled of teaser trailers, but it's all we've got... for now. BioWare executive producer Mark Darrah shared a few words about last night's reveal in a brief BioWare Blog entry.

BioWare and EA will kick off the "VIP Demo" for Anthem on January 25, 2019. Shortly thereafter on February 1, the Open Demo will begin. What's the difference? The VIP Demo is for those who have pre-ordered Anthem in addition to those that are Origin Access subscribers and EA Access subscribers. The Open Demo is for, well, everyone else.

Both demos will be made available on all platforms. These include the PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.

As part of their November update on the official BioWare Blog, studio general manager Casey Hudson left much to the imagination of Dragon Age fans. As part of the blog, a secretive Hudson said the following.

Make of that what you will....

Jade Raymond is parting ways with EA and the EA Motive studio that she helped to found. Taking up the reigns as studio lead will be Samantha Ryan. Ryan already leads EA Mobile, Maxis, and a BioWare studio.

EA Motive was initially founded in 2015 after Raymond left Ubisoft. The first project for the studio was working with Amy Hennig on the now cancelled Star Wars title from the now closed Visceral Games. EA Motive at least got to put some of that work to use in helping out with Star Wars: Battlefront II. The studio then moved on to working on a new IP alongside BioWare. Despite Raymond's departure, EA remains committed to keeping ...

Details about the demo for Anthem have finally started to surface. The first official date we've heard comes courtesy of PAX West 2018, where it was finally revealed that the demo will begin on February 1, 2019.

Keep in mind that this is a demo and not a beta before you freak out about it being too close to the game's February 22 release date. With that in mind, let's find out how you can actually get in to play this demo, yeah?

All you need to do is either pre-order Anthem, or have an active subscription to EA Access on the Xbox One, or an active sub of Origin Access on the PC. If you have done any of those things, you'll be...

As part of their mid-Summer update, BioWare confirmed today that they are very much still working on the next iterations of both Dragon Age and Mass Effect. They say that those franchises are both still a significant part of their future even if the main focus right now is on Anthem.
This statement comes directly from Casey Hudson. Think what you will about ...

It looks like the official box art for BioWare's Anthem was released today? Was it leaked? I don't know. The image came courtesy of shinobi602, a person (possibly a robot) that is usually "in the know" about various gaming related things moreso than most other human beings. Where did shinobi get it? Hell if I know. He just says it came across his "feed" today.

Whatever the original source is, the fact remains that this is apparently the official box art as confirmed by Anthem producer Mike Gamble.
You can see the full piece of art below. Because your eyes didn't yet see it below these words...
