With the recent open demo weekend out of the way, BioWare's co-operative action-RPG Anthem is now heading towards its February 22, 2019 release. As a result, this post on the studio's developer blog reflects on the past weekend, shares a few screenshots, and briefly mentions Anthem's upcoming improvements and post-launch content. Check it out:
Greetings to our Anthem Community!
I’m thrilled to share that our public demo weekend exceeded our expectations. Operationally, things were super smooth – our war rooms were tranquil this weekend, which is exactly how we like them.
Most importantly, your response was again overwhelmingly positive. We had more than 40M hours of play in the game across our two demo weekends. That’s incredible! We hope you all enjoyed the small taste of what’s to come with the full game. As developers, we remain humbled by your positive response to what we’ve built. Thank you so much for your support!
Of the many cool things we’ve seen from the community, the creativity around Javelin customizations has been mind-blowing.[...]
Our focus now shifts 100% to launch and beyond. Our development team is hard at work on finalizing our launch builds and beginning our countdown preparations. As I’ve mentioned previously, the launch version of the game has a long list of updates and improvements that were not in the demo builds. And, of course, launch will be the first time our community has access to the full game with all content.
There’s so much more than you saw in the demo and we can’t wait for you to play it. We’re also very hard at work on exciting post-launch content. You saw a small glimpse of it in the game Sunday. We’ll have much more to share on that soon.
Onward! Stronger Together!
Chad
