Players thought that Anthem would not celebrate its birthday. But now there are gifts for you and the big update 1.7. What’s in it?
This is the situation: On February 22, 2019, the shooter Anthem had its official release. Now everyone was waiting for a celebration for its first birthday on February 22, 2020, but no announcement was made.
Players were worried that the game wouldn’t celebrate its birthday at all – maybe the major overhaul of Anthem would simply consume too many resources.
That’s why players celebrated the birthday in their own ways.
Somewhat belated, on February 25, Anthem’s Twitter account announced that there finally is something to claim. A celebratory gift is waiting for you.
