A new gameplay video of Anthem shows what players can experience in freeplay on the open world map. There will be special world events, expeditions, bosses, and even small easter eggs.
What can be seen in the video? You can observe how the two javelins Storm and Interceptor are traversing in freeplay. This means players can move freely on the open world map. During an expedition, world events can also appear and be initiated.
This is important to note about the 8 minutes of gameplay
Freeroam expeditions are good for: You can freely explore the world of Anthem solo or in a group. During freeplay, it is possible to collect various loot. Everyone in the group collects their own loot in Anthem.
Through free expeditions, you can acquire gear and also gain experience points. You can also participate in world events.
World events change: World events appear in freeplay that differ each time you embark on a new expedition. This could involve defeating a specific boss. Likewise, delivery missions can be accepted, as seen in the video. It may also happen that certain events repeat.
Cover long distances: The video states that it can take a long time to get from point A to B in freeplay. It is said to be tricky to hover in the air for a long time.
Interaction with the environment: To maneuver better and longer with the javelins in the air, players should interact with the environment. The video shows a kind of portal through which the player flies like through a pipe.
There are also waterfalls that he flies through with the javelin to cool down the suit. Javelins need cooling to hover longer.
Finding easter eggs and lore: There are many secrets to discover in freeplay. For example, loot crates are particularly well hidden. You can learn more about the story of Anthem through codex notes. This is comparable to the grimoire cards from Destiny 1 that are also scattered throughout the world.
Elemental attacks: In the video, the javelins use ice and acid. The ice seems to slow down opponents and partially immobilize them. The acid literally eats away at the enemies. Some enemies are said to have resistance to certain elements, but are not completely immune. For example, ice attacks against a frost wolf are not very effective.

Vertical gameplay to observe: As other gameplay videos before, much happens vertically in this one too. The javelins can move flexibly in the air and attack their opponents from above or use this to dodge.
Freeplay can be tested in the demo: Anthem will hold two demos. You can either play a VIP demo in early access if you pre-order Anthem. Or you play later the free demo that will be available to everyone.
The demo of Anthem will be easier than the actual game. You will have a faster progression.
