A fan has reconstructed another part of the map from Anthem from recent streams through scenes from live streams. We show you his map. Additionally, he calculated how long a flight over the map of Anthem would approximately take.
There is still no official image of the complete map of Anthem. Previously, there was a fan reconstruction with large parts of the map, which were created from scenes from streams. But that was quite a while ago.
The result from Reddit user DaanLyb, just before the start of the demo, is impressive and at least gives an idea of how large the map could be, which was seen in one of the last streams.
How much space does the world of Anthem offer?
This is probably the majority of the map: The result is a suitably looking compilation of colored areas that come from a more recent stream and have probably already been “discovered.”
As it looks, this is not all yet. There are no typical boundary markings visible in the northern part of the map.
Perhaps developer Bioware wants to keep these areas for marketing reasons until the release, or simply avoid potential story spoilers.
But how large could the world be? Answering this question is difficult. As long as there is no official statement or any numbers available, only the speculations of fans remain. However, DaanLyb is trying to partially answer the question of size.
Based on the stream and the pixel count of the image, he calculated how long a complete flight from north to south could take. He used the duration it took for a Bioware developer to cross the Valley of Tarsis as a benchmark. The flight took 7 seconds, covering 75 pixels.
The longest route I could draw was about 2160 pixels long. 2160px / 75px = 28.8. 28.8*7 seconds = 201.6 seconds = 3.36 minutes.
He himself admits that this calculation is not really representative. There are various factors in Anthem that must be considered when covering distances:
- Javelins cannot fly continuously; they must cool down repeatedly.
- Not all Javelins have the same flight speed. With an Interceptor, you might be faster than with the Colossus.
- The world of Anthem is not flat. Vertical gameplay plays a large role. Caves, mountains, cliffs, all these geographical elements make the game world even larger.
The Redditor thinks the world might feel big.
Currently, it is still hardly possible to estimate the approximate size of Anthem’s world. Fans won’t have to wait much longer until they can explore the world.
The VIP demo starts this week on January 25. Here you can find all the information.
