Anthem will receive another patch on March 12th. We have summarized some highlights of the update that were presented in the last live stream for you here.
This is the main focus of the new patch Even after the big Day-One patch, Anthem is still struggling with some bugs. In particular, crashes and the issues on PS4 are causing problems for the title.
In the last live stream about Anthem, lead producer Ben Irving and community manager Jesse Anderson talked about the upcoming changes with the next patch. According to their statement, there are about 300 changes in the patch notes, and there may be up to five fixes included in one change.
One particularly large fix is the resolution of the crashes on PS4 that we have already reported to you.
The focus of the next patch is clearly on bug fixes and quality of life improvements.
