Anthem will also be removed from the EA Play playlist on August 15, 2025, and EA says that the sunsetting of the game has not led to any layoffs at developer BioWare.
Is there anyone left at BioWare? What the two people who just turn on the lights every day? After DragonAge they kneejerk let everyone go rather than reflect on anything and then patted each other on the back for being such great managers.

Quickly, kill the servers before the EU passes laws that mean people will be able to continue to play our online games after we shut them down!

It had some nice flying mechanics and combat effects and could have been a solid sp game. Stopped playing early to not get attched to it thinking it would be taken down MUCH faster. Never bought an online-only game since, probably never will.

Wasn't it always unplayable?

Personally surprised it was still up. I'm not sure I can think of a game that seemed so promising in the public beta, but then had so little at launch.
