It is an expected announcement from Bioware today... but still quite a bitter one as this game started a lot for me; my first OT and the design work and videos I made about the game helped net me a job in the games industry. That aside Anthem has been left to die... quietly in the corner now.

Many of us have moved on from Anthem now and there are other live service and cooperative experiences that we're putting our time into but I will say I was curious to see what an Anthem 2.0/NEXT could be and would do to the game.

As this OT has already kind of died and will likely fade further into the ether of Era now, I just wanted to take a moment to say Thank You to everyone who posted here and enjoyed the OT and Anthem at launch or after. I had a blast making this OT, it was my very first and I've gone on to make many more since but
you always remember your first... right?
