According to one of the leading figures at BioWare, participants in the open demo of Anthem can look forward to something “cool” on Sunday. The downside: It might be quite late for German players.
When is the event supposed to take place? Recently, BioWare released a statement regarding the performance of the VIP demo, which took place last weekend.
Along with various announcements about the open demo, the “Head of Live Service”, Chad Robertson, mentioned in passing that players should definitely log in on Sunday, as something “cool” is supposed to happen. He states: If you can only play on one day, then it should be Sunday afternoon.
This specifically means for interested players to play the demo on Sunday, February 3rd. Only “afternoon” was mentioned.
This likely means in the afternoon, American time. Here in Germany, this would mean that the event is supposed to take place between 8:00 PM and 2:00 AM on Monday. So, those who want to participate should make themselves a coffee in the evening.
When exactly the event will take place is still uncertain. As soon as we know more, you will find out as usual on MeinMMO.
What exactly will happen on Sunday? Robertson was quite vague on this:
Stay tuned on Sunday afternoon (American time). We will show you a glimpse of the cool things we are planning for the future of Anthem.
What exactly will happen is still unclear. The opinions of the community are quite varied on this:
- Will we finally get a taste of the so-called “Shaper Storms”, massive storms that are still a mystery?
- Will a new area of the map be revealed that players can explore?
- An additional story mission or another stronghold could also be possible.
This kind of approach is actually quite popular. Often, additional content is unlocked shortly before the end of demos or beta versions to put the servers through another stress test. For instance, in the beta of Destiny 1, the first story mission on the moon was unlocked shortly before the end.
All info about the open demo on MeinMMO: If you want to get a picture of Anthem yourself, you can do so in the demo taking place next weekend. Everyone can join, no pre-order or anything is necessary. The demo runs from Friday, February 1st to Sunday, February 3rd (in Germany, it will be Monday, February 4th, at 3:00 AM).
Will you be there on Sunday evening? Or is that too late for you?
