    • EA shutting down Anthem servers soon, making the BioWare game unplayable

      By George P · Posted

      The dumb side of online service games that don't really count as a MMO. There should be offline modes for these games with MP as a option. It's really a co-op game when you think about it, unless my memory is off?

    • EA shutting down Anthem servers soon, making the BioWare game unplayable

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      EA shutting down Anthem servers soon, making the BioWare game unplayable by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe In early 2019, the RPG studio BioWare attempted a complete genre switch by releasing Anthem, a cooperative multiplayer game focused on seasonal content drops. In the end, the title failed to reach EA and fan expectations. Despite a revival attempt, BioWare quickly ended support for the title. Now, its servers are about to go down soon, and that means it's the last chance anyone has to play the online-only experience. In an official blog post regarding the game's future, it was revealed today that Anthem's online services will be shutting down on January 12, 2026. Starting today, all in-game premium currency purchases are also being halted, but any remaining credits held by players can still be used in the store until the shutdown date. "We have an important update to share regarding Anthem," said the post. "After careful consideration, we will be sunsetting Anthem on January 12, 2026. This means that the game will still be playable online for the next 180+ days." As there is no offline mode attached to the co-op game, it will not be playable by those who purchased it following the January 12, 2026 date. Interestingly, EA Play subscribers will lose access to the game ahead of that date, with it leaving the subscription service (also affecting Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass) on August 15, 2025. The last time Anthem was mentioned by EA and BioWare was in 2021, which is when the companies announced the cancellation of the rework. The team working on this Anthem NEXT project was then moved to the developer of the Mass Effect and Dragon Age games. "We deeply appreciate your dedication, passion and support over the years and we’d like to thank you for that," added BioWare. EA has also confirmed that Anthem's shutdown is not affecting any jobs at BioWare. "No, the sunsetting of Anthem has not led to any layoffs," it said.
