Today, there are maintenance works on Anthem. These will take a bit longer and extend into the evening. Everything you need to know about the server downtime has been summarized for you.
Update 6:45 PM: The maintenance work is complete. Have fun in Anthem, Freelancer!
When is the maintenance? As EA announced on Twitter, planned maintenance for Anthem is taking place today, Tuesday. The work will start in the afternoon and extend into the evening.
Here are the maintenance details for April 30:
- The maintenance is scheduled to begin around 2:00 PM German time
- The work should be completed by around 7:00 PM
As always, this is an approximate schedule. If the maintenance is extended or the servers become accessible earlier, we will inform you here.
Why maintenance? The community manager of Anthem, Jesse Anderson, stated that there is no update accompanying the maintenance. So there will be no direct changes to the game or new content uploaded.
According to EA Support, they will be looking at the servers and fixing some issues. For example, they want to address the error causing the freeplay servers to crash. Further backend work will also be completed.
What else is happening in Anthem? To help you get through the long maintenance this afternoon, we have summarized some news about Anthem from the last few days:
