Unless Anthem Next is leagues above the original, it honestly feels like it's time for Bioware and EA to cut their losses on this one. We'll see what happens.

Im hoping its enough of a full rework of the game to bring its support. Ive always thought it looked like it had potential, but its been an absolute dumpsterfire. From what Ive seen, I would be lying if I said I wasnt interested. This rework seems to be akin to making a human out of a skeleton.
And players who bought the game screwed
Well on one hand, Final Fantasy XIV was once in same situation and thanks to new team and lots of effort it is now one of the best MMORPGs. On the other hand i doubt fucking EA would give developers enough time and resources even if there was still enough of talented people in the husk of Bioware to turn this around. I think its time to say final prayers to once great studio and start betting on how long until Codemasters meet same fate.
No, now is the time to deliver the product that was originally promised, and that customers paid for. Don’t encourage developers to continue to do shitty things because it’s going to cost THEM money to deliver to their customers what was promised.
@Norman Readdis Bioware has always been like that
Let the modders have it as toy. I bet they could do a better job anyway.
Me from the future .....YOU WERE RIGHT
Daaaaaaaaang called this! Well done!
Good sources being 2 weeks early. Nerd Slayer was ahead by 2 months.
Time to finish the campaign 😂
wait... anthem is alive?
Nerd Slayer featured it on Death of a Game 2 months ago.
And just like that anthem is dead
Welp... :I
Anthem is dead as of Feb. 24th, 2021.
well... it's officially dead as of Feb 24, 2021 🤷♂️
Two weeks later it officially has been declared dead. F
I’m here after it got cancelled
It happened. F.
Im hearing that anthem next got axed
Well, news just in. Looks like Anthem Next became Anthem...... "Next!"
Nice one 🏆
Dont worry Halo Infinate wont fail on it "10 year plan". Its only a team making a open world they arent used to, unsure of how to continue the story, being delayed several times, looking to use microtransactions......shit
I have the MCC on PC and Halo already has a great modding community on the PC. If Infinite sucks like nearly all of 343 Industries Halo games I won't be surprised, but I'll be content with the state Halo is in.
I really think the game could be good but it’s just not there right now. It lacks mission variety, satisfying loot grind, and interesting characters. It’s got good gameplay and all the classes play well together and encourage cooperation. But the problems with this game aren’t in the gameplay solely.
When in the Commune, do as the Communists! The ten year plan fails in misery, death (of a game) and the suffering of the innocent. Who would could have ever possibly forseen such SHOCKING developments EVER!
These "Live Services" are keeping Nerd Slayer's channel up and running. Before all his Death of a Game videos had to feature MMOs.
I enjoyed the game and the idea... just not much to do. Went back to it yesterday after not playing since the first few week of launch. Still at max level...
It's adorable that YongYea thinks Bioware is still somehow capable of even single player games 😂
The game is dead and it’s been on life support for a long time. Move on and let the game die with whatever dignity it retains.
If anthem survives and comes back better than ever, cool, I'd like to see it become an amazing game in the future. When it doesn't, no one will miss it
The story of another minimally viable product...
Next week or this week? Lol
don't forget that they're also working on Mass Effect Legendary Edition and working on the planning stages of the new Mass Effect game that they said they are working on as well as Dragon Age 4 so they are stretched very thin
Sadly, we know these execs don't have the patience nor the sympathy for the devs to stick with it and make it good. If No Man's Sky could rise from the ashes, giving free updates to finally pay off big in not only sales but also PR, then I'm sure Anthem could too - but none of the right people have the power to make that happen. I'd love to be wrong though.
Naaaaaaaaaa anthem can't die i spend hours playing that game
Game is still garbage. Tried to play yesterday and it crashed after 20 minutes or so every time. Great potential does not make a game.
A week later and there is only *silence* Yeah, they are about to pull the plug, but they don't want to scare away the "I believe in this dead game" movement. This way they can get the last little bits of drops of the cash cows milk. Don't be fooled. If they were really coming back, they would be hyping it with some "unofficial" announcements by now.
I stop playing when people ps4’s was getting destroyed
Honestly I would give Anthem a 2nd chance over Avengers.😂
Sooo. A week later... What happened?
i doubt ea would kill it off i mean its a loot box money farm in the makes
bioware has been focused on mass effect remaster. they are not working on crapthem
Bioware has a team of 30 people working on anthem right now but I think they pulled the plug on it and we will probably never get an official announcement on pulling the plug
Well this was came as a surprise, said no one.
"Ea may kill anthem next this week!" Nice thumbnail yong
Yeah, I thought I was having a stroke when I read it
I think this is for the best as they could now focus all their efforts on the next ME or Dragon Age game.
If it's not fifa or madden EA will not continue..glad I didnt get it.
Its been a week whats going on?
Why does your mouth look fake
@Audio Boys ironically your face looks fake I guess it takes fakes to know fakes
@ingenious design AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Because it is
They left 30 people on this project so they can collect their computers and clean the place up.
Its Dragonage 4's bad, this things getting canned 100%
so its been a week, did they do it??
@Ash B maybe it was all a ruse and they dropped this fake story to see if anyone would come rushing back to play it in its last week lol
wondering the same thing and i dont see any news on the topic atm
How can they kill something thats already dead
Played the other day. Game crashed near the end of a long @$$ mission and uninstalled
I believe in anthem
So it's a week later. Did we get an update?
A shame IMO. The game looked like it could have been AMAZING had any other publisher been in charge besides EA tbh
EA killed Anthem, Anthem Next, Anthem 2.0, Anthem Nobody Cares, when they showed that they can no longer release a fully developed game.
@YongYea any update? did they kill the project? I would be one of they few that actually enjoyed anthem.
I also enjoyed playing with my friends
Such a good potential game waste like it was nothing
who would buy another anthem after what happened with the same developers
I’m really hoping this game get overhauled my girlfriend caught this game for me at my request as a gift. And unbeknownst to me this game wows t doing all that great so I hope they overhaul this. I’m just kinda hoping they do but if they don’t I’ll understand and be butthurt about it. Nothing I can do
I had such high hopes for this game but they totally killed it😐
what wait, didnt the EX-Gamedev Lead, say Anthem is in Good Hands and we dont need to worry?!
Did they call it a day yet?
You know you're bored when you're watching a video about Anthem in 2021.
I feel that the last story that I enjoy from a BioWare game was Titanfall 2. Which I consider, the most underrated shooter of all times.
@Amadeus Artorias oh yeah. Hahaha. I haven’t play it since 2018.
Pretty sure that was respawn buddy.
So did it die or not?
Make it F2P
Anthem had the roughest development process... EA pushed biowares hand on releasing it. However Anthem to me has the best combat system for looter shooters. If Anthem gets a massive overhaul people will return to the game but idk how many will stick around.
Anthem definitely feels like a laundry list of bad priorities... but I was pretty excited to see how it would turn out when I first learned of the concept. Having a single-player hub to play through story-driven moments, then venturing out into the overworld with other players to take on missions, seemed like a really cool idea. Despite the clear creativity that went into the game, however, it's a clear example of why a lot of people dislike Electronic Arts; they keep releasing titles no one was really asking for in hopes of squeezing a monetary sponge.
Bioware will be shut down in 5 years or less
The game was already dead. More people play left 4 dead 2 that this game
I honestly wish Anthem was a good game I was so pumped for it and I was so hyped but it was such a disappointment
Gaming has been ruined TBH. I spend more time staring at my list of games than actually playing them. I think the last game I actually played and beat was RDR2. And if it counts..technomancer by spiders. lol
EA should decide to kill EA. That buffoon company stopped making games a long time ago. They're just making random crap,but they're definitely not games.
wanna know something funny? I literally got anthem as a Christmas present in 2020 and started playing it on new years eve, even though I only played it for about two days. XD
Kill fartnite too
Honestly, your mercy is disgusting to look at.
Laughing at all the idiots who bought the game.
I hope they don’t cancel it, it had so much potential and I think it’s worth attempting a complete overhaul and relaunch
Kill
Is Anthem like a Destiny Jr?
Lmao they killed Anthem a long time ago.
We are still waiting
If EA can't squeeze a quarter out of a dime on this games, then you can kiss Anthem goodbye.
When I saw "Anthem" in the title. I have to double-check the upload date of this video. Anthem in 2021. Huh, I thought this game has been buried already and decomposing.
I can't wait till Anthem 2.0 comes out so I can not get it.
"Do it."
At least, Anita Sarkeesian will never be invited again to Bioware studios.
Dude fuck EA and bioware why expect anything good from them? The upcoming dragon age is gonna be trash anyway
In the immortal words of a random Blizzard exec, "How do you kill that which has no life?" Anthem was DOA and EA, being the greedy asses that they are, know this and are 100% going to cut their losses and move on.
Bioware shelved the Mass Effect series after a semi bad launch. Anthem sold worse than ME:A...I think we know where this is going.
😔 I have sinnnnnned! I...I can't help it, I really like the gameplay. Convoluted story, intrusive online "features", but but but but the controls are SOOOOO responsive...
Anthem 2077? Yeah, just let it die already.
It’s over and fuck DA4. If DA4 turns out to be good, I can wait a year or two. They took enough of my money
I hope it gets one more chance the gameplay is good but the game is full of bugs, glitches and the story was too short and too fast and the farming felt to much forced they even went so far as to increase the points you needed for the item that was increased 10x more in price what you need for the item making it impossible as a casual player to get the rewards from the in-game store without using real money to get them items spending money already on a spend game is a no go for me and this is my sound overly hated to you but if they charge the day 1 players for the remake the game can die in my opinion and the company that made this game should be sued, I won't pay a second time for the promises that where made and got lied for wat was promised and I dit pay for the special edition which cost $ 79.99 on day 1 so i tink i have more then the right to demand a free charge for its remake as an day 1 Buyer of the game
Wheres my refund
ANTHEM Still exists ??!!! I used to be so syced about it
ea should just stop making games
Tbh, I want this game to be successful, if it still exists that is. I am done with Warframe, I do not play Destiny (nor ever will), Borderlands is not on my list, so Anthem might be a great option. The latest videos here and there reveal improvements and they look VERY nice. Idk, probably wishful thinking...
I really wish people would stop saying "bioware can get back to what they do best". No, no they can't. People don't seem to understand MAJOR people in their company have left, people in lead positions, this has happened multiple times in the years. They cannot go back to being how they were because they are not the same company anymore. This is Bioware now, this is how it's going to be
Make it law, that if a game company says they will make life service its have to had a minimum years of service like 40 year or something
"Review process" they likely already made their decision long ago and right now they're just going through the motions to save face and also so they don't piss off people any more than they need to, but hopefully I'm wrong because I really did want to play it when it got announced
What EA should do doesn’t matter. They’ll never do it. All they Are interested in is MONEH
Anthem was to be a great game then ea greed to hold rushed the game and destroyed any chance the game had to survive
EA does not need to kill Anthem. Anthem is already dead. EA will decide whether to revive Anthem.
Nah. Anthem is dead. Should've been buried a long time ago.
