When Anthem officially releases on February 22, there will also be a Day-One Patch. We have compiled some highlights from the patch notes for you.
Why Day-One Update? Anthem started Early Access on PC and Xbox One on February 15 in Early Access. With the help of players, several issues were identified that will be addressed with an update at the official release on February 22.
We have already presented seven changes to Anthem, with more to follow in the update.
Where do the patch notes come from? A user posted the changes for the Day-One Patch in the Anthem subreddit. He stated that he was from the press and had received the changes from BioWare’s PR.
The patch notes were not published by BioWare themselves. However, an Anthem developer has already commented on the post, so it is likely that the changes are accurate.
These are the highlights from the upcoming update
