These exosuits became known as Javelins, and Tarsis sacrificed herself to overthrow the Urgoth, who have not been seen since. A human named Helena Tarsis and her compatriots used Shaper technology to invent powerful exosuits to fight back. Ĭenturies before the start of the game, humanity was enslaved by a race of creatures called the Urgoth. The Anthem and the Shapers are revered by some as the source of all life. Human knowledge about the relics is limited, but its believed they were created by a godlike race called the Shapers, who abandoned the planet millennia ago for unknown reasons. Extremely unstable artifacts can envelope a significant area with destructive energies, storms, and creatures, rendering them barren and deadly. Unstable relics can spontaneously terraform sections of the planet, mutate wildlife, change the local climate, create portals, and spawn monstrous creatures. Synopsis Setting Īnthem is set on planet Coda littered with advanced technological relics which harness an omnipresent energy known as the Anthem of Creation. Teams can fight beasts and marauders while exploring lost ruins and experiencing massive, world-altering occurrences, such as "Shaper Storms".
The game features both single-player and co-operative multiplayer elements in a "shared world" that can have up to four squad members per team. It is a melting pot where all the different factions of the game meet, including the Sentinels, Corvus, Cyphers, and Arcanists. It serves as a fortified settlement against the threats of the outside world and is the point where the player goes to receive new missions and freelance assignments. The central meeting point of the game takes place in Fort Tarsis. Players can build relationships with various non-playable characters, but they cannot establish romantic relationships with them, as was common of previous BioWare games. The Ranger is the Javelin players begin the game with, and is considered the "all-around master of combat" the Colossus is the largest and slowest, but the most resilient and features a large shield to absorb attacks or hit enemies the Interceptor is the fastest and most agile, specializing in quick close-quarters melee strikes and the Storm is the least armored, but can remain airborne the longest, allowing it to attack from a distance with blasts of elemental energies. Each Javelin features unique attributes and abilities that encourage different styles of play and evoke classic role-playing game character archetypes. Īnthem features four unique Javelin variants which the player unlocks while progressing through the game. Each player takes the role of a Freelancer donning fully customizable exosuits called Javelins. Although BioWare announced in February 2020 that they would be reinventing the core gameplay of Anthem as part of a long-term plan, all future development was ceased in February 2021.Īnthem combines third-person shooter and action role-playing game elements in a "contiguous open world" shared with up to three other players.
Despite some positive sales achievements, the game failed to meet commercial expectations. In the main narrative, the player's Freelancer is tasked with stopping the villainous Monitor from seizing control of the Anthem.Īnthem received mixed reviews from critics, who criticized it for its grind and shallow gameplay, technical aspects, and story, although its combat, flight controls, and visuals received some praise. The game's title refers to the Anthem of Creation, a powerful and mysterious force responsible for most of the extraordinary technology, phenomena, and threats in the world. Set on an unnamed planet, players assume the role of Freelancers, heroic adventurers who wear powerful exosuits to defend humanity from the threats beyond their cities' walls. The game was released worldwide for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on February 22, 2019. Anthem is an online multiplayer action role-playing video game developed by BioWare and published by Electronic Arts.
