In the new gameplay trailer for Anthem we learn more about the endgame. It shows what serves long-term motivation and when the endgame actually starts.
When does the endgame of Anthem begin? The video defines the start of the endgame when players reach level 30 with their character. At this point, players have completed the main story and face new challenges.
What does the endgame consist of?
- Challenges: There will be dailies, weeklies, and monthlies with rewards. Alliances can help achieve these goals.
- Contracts: Players can accept quests from factions and thereby gain new blueprints for crafting.
- Freeplay with world events: Those who go into free play without a mission can encounter unforeseen events. A preview of world events was shown in the demo.
- Strongholds: These are mini-raids that are particularly difficult and can only be entered with four players. Here you can find particularly valuable loot.
- Collecting cosmetics: Players can earn all skins, cosmetic items, and emotes. The video shows some suggestions here.
What is the goal of the endgame? The four Javelins are highly customizable. The abilities of the Javelins and their weapons can always be further developed.
Anthem has 6 difficulty levels:
- Easy
- Normal
- Hard
- Grandmaster 1
- Grandmaster 2
- Grandmaster 3
Those who want to master the highest levels must continually improve their Javelin. Players then obtain the necessary loot for new weapons and components by completing missions, challenges, and world events.
The goal is essentially to become progressively stronger in order to master new difficulty levels.
Cataclysms as the highlight
The world of Anthem will change: As a particular highlight of the endgame and also of Anthem in general, Cataclysms are mentioned. These are particularly large world events in which the map of the game can change.
In the months after the release of Anthem, new characters and story expansions are to come. BioWare described it as if Anthem were a Netflix series. There are expected to be new events and occurrences related to Anthem that players will discuss and be captivated by.
