In Anthem there are several Javelin classes. Apparently, these can possess different elements.
Anthem is a new, ambitious game from BioWare and EA – a shared-world action RPG set to be released in fall 2018 and then to be updated with content for 10 years. It was first revealed at E3 2017.
Now there is news about Anthem: For a few days, a concept art of a Javelin class has been circulating online. The Javelins are the stylish exosuits equipped with weapons and special abilities that grant the heroes their powers.
At E3, two classes were already mentioned and briefly introduced:
- Ranger: A balanced class. From the perspective of a Ranger, you can see the events in the gameplay trailer:
- Colossus: This is the tank among the Javelins. It is shown here on the right in the image:
- Additionally, a previously unknown class is visible on this Anthem image to the right:
Concept art for this class has appeared on Twitter and Reddit:
Three different elements in Anthem?
No further information on this third class is available. It looks quite agile, which suggests it might be a fast DPS class. Possibly, the Javelin also has “mage abilities” as a type of energy seems to be swirling around its right arm or legs.
The concept art suggests that there are three different “energies” or “elements” in Anthem: It might be fire, lightning, and ice, but this can only be speculated.
Interesting: When two more players join the squad in the gameplay trailer, for a brief moment the names and two symbols are displayed:
To the right of Sandra’s name, a lightning symbol is displayed. To the right of Kim, there is a sort of blue flower. These symbols presumably represent the elements in Anthem.
Anthem has already faced numerous comparisons with the MMO shooter Destiny. In this context, a comparison can again be made, as Destiny also has three elements: Solar, Arc, and Void. Official information regarding the elements in Anthem is still pending.
