I guess at this point the question is do they leave servers up and do minor updates to the current game, or do they just announce the end of service date and wash their hands of the game

The right choice. Why throw good money after bad?

Anthem was a tainted name. Better to take the tech and lessons from it and put it into something new.

Bet the next Mass Effect will utilize the flying.

shame, Anthem truly had potential tbh
Now tho the team can pack it up and I assume join the Dragon Age team which is currently full steam ahead

Hope the devs keep their jobs though. Shame for them this project didn't work out.

*30 interns couldn't remake the game with photoshop mockups*

Scammered. Promise 10 years of support, deliver the early-access title and cancel the support after two years of "progress".

To the team at EA Austin, thanks for doing what you could. I wish I could have seen what Next would have been.

To basically no one's surprise, I'm sure. EA was lying through its teeth claiming there would be some kind of big revamp. They didn't know what they were pushing the first place, and they never found it. Just another poorly done Bioware project.

It's probably just far too much resources for EA to practically remake and relaunch a game that can just be spent towards the new Dragon Age and Mass Effect games.

I wonder if there's anyone foolish enough to try to spin this as "Anthem Next is cancelled but I bet Anthem 2 was greenlit"

Shame but unsurprising

Someone update the PapaEA.jpeg!

No better time to run through it than now I suppose. Was waiting for news to see if it would be resurrected but alas...downloading from EA Play right now!

Ahh well, at least the flying was fun. Glad to hear the team will move onto another project.

Honestly a bummer, I don't care for Anthem but I am sure the devs worked hard on this presentation and were still told that their 2 year work to fixing it amounted to nothing. Hopefully no one loses their job and they are all just moving to working on Dragon Age or Mass Effect.

That's for the best. It's not fair for the developers to continue to pour work into a project with no sense of direction or objective. Hopefully they move those folks to work on more meaningful products.
