E3 – Command and Conquer: Rivals creates the shortest hype in the world

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 4 minutes

An early highlight of the EA press conference was Command & Conquer: Rivals, at least for our author Schuhmann. He hasn’t had this much fun in a long time regarding the shortest hype in the world.

The shortest hype in the world: Yesterday, the first press conference of E3 2018 took place. Electronic Arts was up. I watched the pre-show in the live stream “E3MAX” by GameStar. The hosts were overjoyed for about 3 minutes and then suddenly very sad. What happened there?

Oh God, they are bringing Command & Conquer back

Command & Conquer at E3: One of the GameStar employees spotted a banner for “Command & Conquer” on the show floor in LA. Within seconds, a dream scenario was constructed based on this banner that brought tears to the eyes of every PC nostalgic and strategy fan.

The dream scenario: Like Age of Empires, Command & Conquer is coming back! Perhaps in an HD remastered version or even as a new installment.

Nostalgics in full hype: For about 3 to 5 minutes, the editors were excited and danced in their chairs during the live stream. You could hear the genuine euphoria of PC gamers, who still have a bit of their hearts in the 90s and are against online and Free2Play. But it got even worse.

The grim premonition: Then one of the editors murmured in the live stream, “Yes, behind this banner, there are mobile phones involved.” And a dream world fell apart.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fyNXQpAFQJc

Hype gone: Immediately, the mood shifted. Because of course: EA is making a mobile game out of Command & Conquer. The dreams of PC strategy fans were instantly shattered. But it didn’t go well for EA either. A trade show is the most dreadful place to present such a game.

Mobile is just bad on a big stage

EA’s plan: In EA’s plan, two iconic gladiators were supposed to confront each other in a gripping battle. The audience would see it, be excited and applaud. The people at home would get into it, realize how fascinated everyone in the hall is by the battle, and become totally hyped about the game. Only then would they reveal to the fans: “This is Command & Conquer: Rivals – we are bringing your dream game back, and everyone can play it.” People would faint from excitement, then wake up and rush into the Google Play Store, downloading the download of Command & Conquer: Rivals in droves.

Sexy-CC-Rivals

The reality: They invited NickatNyte (Clash of Clans specialist) and InControl (pro StarCraft player). The two then sat down on chairs, pulled out their mobile phones, and tapped around for 3 or 4 minutes. Then the shoutcaster was yelling something like “This is incredibly important – totally important – just one more shot – Wow!” Along with that, gameplay was visible which nobody could really make sense of, looking like any standard mobile game or a PC game from the late 90s.

Very weak applause

The reality: Mobile is just bad on a big stage. The problem is: Watching a mobile game is like watching chess when you don’t know the rules. The game is unreadable for outsiders. The shoutcasters yelled some militaristic commands like “Nuke, Nuke,” while the two eSports pros tried to pretend it wasn’t just a ridiculously well-paid PR gig, and the mood after the segment was quite low.

When the EA manager asked for applause after the presentation, it was so thin that they quickly moved on with the program. The highlight was then to tell the people: “That was Command & Conquer Rivals,” but it didn’t really impress anyone. Better to quickly show the trailer.

EA-Play-Command

The audience problem: Mobile games cater to “casuals,” but at a gaming fair, hardcore fans are present. EA faces the same problem every year with sports games: The audience for those games is just rarely at the fair. The people who are there want to see new installments of their classics or innovative core games: shooters, role-playing games, adventures, action games.

EA did not do Command & Conquer: Rivals any favors with this

Mobile games can be good, but you can’t see it here: The presentation ultimately says nothing about the quality of the game. Mobile games don’t need to be readable for the uninformed or have top-notch graphics to work. Hearthstone also needs to be played to understand it. But when mobile games are presented in the way Command & Conquer: Rivals was, you can understand why PC gamers and nostalgics have a meltdown when they hear “mobile” in connection with their favorite game franchise.

The headlines following the conference were lines like “Look what they’ve done to Command & Conquer” or “Command and Conquer disappoints everyone.”

How can you promote a mobile game?

Mobile has to be presented differently: These are problems that the gaming industry is struggling with, as evident with Lineage2Revolution. Mobile generates a tremendous amount of revenue, and publishers also want to spend a bunch of money on PR, but this way, it doesn’t work. To reach the mass of gamers, investing in commercials like in the past with Clash of Clans would be better. Or you really have to bring the game closer to the players and let them experience it themselves. Anyone who thinks they can present a new mobile game as an eSports event is taking on a mammoth task.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLnybECpL_Y

After Command & Conquer, Warcraft is next

Blizzard will have the same problem: How to make these mobile games appealing to their “core audience” will be a problem all western publishers will have to tackle. Especially considering that by the end of the year Blizzard will have to explain to its fans why they are not getting a “Warcraft IV” as a PC strategy game, but rather a “Warcraft Mobile.” We will see at BlizzCon how Blizzard handles this. Maybe PC fans will again freak out for 5 minutes, “Oh God, they are bringing Warcraft back,” before they realize, “Oh, there are mobile phones involved.”

This is how Anthem wants to tell a story and do justice to the single player

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time < 1 minutes

Anthem will be supplied with story content for a long time. There are clear boundaries between multiplayer gameplay and story.

During E3 2018, Bioware explained that the upcoming shooter Anthem places a special focus on story. The game is designed to allow for story DLC to be released “for years”. Fans want this, believes BioWare.

Lead Writer Cathleen Rootsaert explains that new missions, world events, or storylines can be added to Anthem at any time. That’s why Anthem won’t be a multiplayer game where the story is diluted. It will be “something new and different”.

There is singleplayer content in your base

Outside your hub in Anthem, there is the multiplayer world where you can play with other players. You return to your base after missions and experience the singleplayer part of Anthem there. This is meant to ensure that the game’s story does not feel too brief, while you can still play in co-op with your friends.

Through your actions with NPCs and solving specific quests, the story of your Anthem can differ from that of other players.

FIFA 19 with early access – Is the expensive Champions Edition worth it?

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 4 minutes

FIFA 19 can be played a few days before release by pre-ordering the Champions Edition. What is included in the Champions Edition and whether it is worth it for you can be found here.

Play FIFA 19 as one of the first: The upcoming football simulation from EA Sports celebrates its release on September 28 this year. However, it is possible to play the full version of FIFA 19 a few days early – specifically on September 25. The day you can start depends on your decision on which edition of FIFA 19 you purchase.

Which edition do I need to buy to play FIFA 19 before the official release? There are three editions of FIFA 19: the Standard, Champions, and Ultimate Editions. You must pre-order either the Champions Edition or the Ultimate Edition to receive early access. While the Champions Edition is available for PS4, Xbox One, PC, and Switch, the Ultimate Edition is exclusive to PS4, Xbox One, and PC – and is only available digitally.

Let’s take a closer look at the Champions Edition now.

Overview of the Champions Edition of FIFA 19 for PS4, Xbox One, PC, and Switch

  • Platforms: PS4, Xbox One, PC, Switch
  • Release: September 25, 2018
  • Price: €89.99 (PS4, Xbox One), €79.99 (PC, Switch)

Contents of the Champions Edition:

  • The game “FIFA 19”
  • 3 days of early access – you can play FIFA 19 starting September 25
  • Up to 20 Jumbo Premium Gold Packs for FUT 19 (1 pack each week for 20 weeks)
  • One loan item of Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar for FUT 19 (7 matches each)
  • One “UEFA Champions League” gold player of your choice (choose one of five gold players (80-83 OVR) from qualified teams)
  • Special edition FUT jerseys from FIFA soundtrack artists
    fifa-19-champion

Are the benefits of the Champions Edition worth it for me?

The Champions Edition of FIFA 19 costs a hefty €20 more than the Standard Edition, which makes many fans reconsider whether the benefits justify the extra cost.

For many fans, the main argument: Early access

Many FIFA fans take vacation time at the end of September each year to dive right into the latest FIFA installment. Especially in online modes such as FUT or Pro Clubs, it’s important to get started immediately, so as not to fall behind. Every day counts when you can earn coins or upgrade your pro.

Champions League FIFA 19 Stadium

Three days can feel like a painfully long time when you have to watch others play while you wait for your FIFA 19 edition. Therefore, all players eager to dive into the new FIFA season will likely consider the Champions or Ultimate Edition.

Additionally, there are FUT bonuses

However, early access is not the only bonus that the Champions Edition offers to justify the €20 premium. You also receive many extras for the Ultimate Team mode FUT 19:

  • Compared to the Standard Edition, the Champions Edition grants not only Cristiano Ronaldo but also Neymar as a loan player for 7 matches. Some may be pleased that they can use Neymar temporarily – but that’s not a reason for anyone to purchase the more expensive edition.
  • The special edition FUT jerseys from FIFA soundtrack artists are also included in the pre-order Standard Edition and therefore do not justify purchasing the Champions Edition.
  • New in the Champions Edition is the “UEFA Champions League” gold player. You can choose from 5 players from CL-qualified teams to select one for your team. However, this will not be a top player like Ronaldo, Messi, etc., as the available players only have overall ratings between 80 and 83. Useful for building an initial team, but no guarantee for quickly getting a top player. This bonus alone certainly is not worth €20.
  • However, the 20 Jumbo Premium Gold Packs for FUT 19 that you get with the Champions Edition are interesting. That’s 15 more packs than if you pre-order the Standard Edition (which contains 5 of these packs).
    A Jumbo Premium Gold pack usually costs 15,000 coins or 300 FIFA Points. In total, the 15 additional free packs are worth 4500 FIFA Points, which is nearly €40. However, you won’t receive all 20 packs of the Champions Edition immediately at launch. For 20 weeks, there will be only one pack each week.
    By the way: A Jumbo Premium Gold pack contains 24 mixed cards, including 7 rare ones.

Should I buy the Champions Edition of FIFA 19?

Pre-order the Champions Edition of FIFA 19 if:

  • You are willing and your account allows you to spend €80 or €90 for a game,
  • You definitely want to start on September 25,
  • You will play FUT 19 frequently and happily in the first weeks after launch,
  • and you planned to invest additional money into Ultimate Team mode.

Here you can pre-order the Champions Edition on Amazon:

Oops, unfortunately this affiliate widget is no longer available.

Stay away from the Champions Edition if:

  • You have little time at the end of September or don’t mind starting a few days later,
  • You will play FUT 19 extremely intensively – then you could also purchase the even more expensive Ultimate Edition, which gives you 40 Jumbo Premium Gold Packs
  • or you don’t play FUT at all – or only play FUT a little – and prefer other modes like Career, Pro Clubs, or The Journey. Then the Standard Edition is sufficient.

Anthem will feature dungeons and raids

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

Anthem aims to offer players a lot. The activities in the game will also include dungeons and raids.

After the numerous reveals at E3 2018, the thirst for knowledge of Anthem fans is far from quenched. The developers are doing their best to answer the many questions, and interesting details keep coming to light. It has now been revealed that there will also be dungeons and raids in Anthem.

Anthem gets “Strongholds” – Raids for 4 players

Raids are called “Strongholds”. The particularly tough challenges in Anthem will be the so-called “Strongholds” – fortresses populated by particularly tough adversaries. According to Mark Darrah, these Strongholds can only be completed with a group, but are not necessary for the progression of the story. This already sounds suspiciously like an endgame content that can be tackled with friends after finishing the story.

Anthem-Art

Strongholds are for 4 players. The Strongholds are designed for groups of a total of four players. With fewer players, it will not even be possible to enter these places. You must either invite friends into the game or rely on the matchmaking to face these challenges.

Raids but not Destiny. Even though raids are not an invention of Destiny, players are increasingly recognizing parallels between the two games. Even if BioWare emphasizes that they are “not Destiny”.

Differences elsewhere. That Anthem and Destiny have clear differences can be well established at other points. Because Anthem will, according to the current status, not bring any PvP and be a pure PvE game. This gives the developers much more freedom in designing weapons and effects. An exact balancing of the weapons is then not necessary, as no “PvP fairness” needs to be established.

Will there be a beta for Anthem?

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

The new information from E3 makes players hungry for Anthem. But one question remains: Is there a beta?

anthem-charaktere

The press conference by EA at E3 2018 brought many new insights about Anthem. For instance, there was an initial story trailer for the new BioWare game, and in-game gameplay footage was shown, allowing players to get a first impression of the gameplay. However, one question is burning on the minds of many players: What about signing up for the beta?

Signing up for beta not possible yet. Although the remaining time is less than nine months until release, which is getting a bit tight, there is still no possibility to sign up for the beta. The E3 provided no new information.

Anthem-Power-Landung

Beta only for pre-orderers? Some fans speculate that the early playable demos, which pre-orderers can participate in, are basically beta tests. Here, BioWare could find out how the gameplay or individual game mechanics are received by the fans. However, this is not confirmed. It does sound like a potential bonus. This would also align with earlier statements from the developers.

Financial Call mentioned “player feedback”. Some time ago, EA spoke about the topic in a Financial Call. According to them, they wanted to enable players to “dive into the game early” in order to make improvements based on the feedback. In essence, this only described a beta phase.

At least for the next few months, one should not expect a beta. With a release in February 2019, the topic should come back to light again at the latest in the fall of this year.

Are you excited about Anthem? Would you want to participate in a beta if it takes place? Or do you want to avoid ruining the story and rather wait for the final release of the game?

Bless Online – all Elite Mob Locations at a glance

Lucas Kaczynski Lucas Kaczynski Reading time 2 minutes

If you want to become stronger in Bless Online, you cannot avoid the elite mobs. These enemies reward brave players with experience points and exquisite loot. They appear at these locations.

Reddit user KrystallAnn has created a map where interested players can find the spawn locations of all elite mobs in Bless. We show you the best farming spot.

Powerful Enemies

Elite mobs are spread across the entire map of Bless Online, and there are three types:

  • neutral elite mobs: These mobs are located in the border area between Hieron and Union
  • Hieron elite mobs: These mobs are located in the protected area of the Hieron faction. If you hunt them as a Hieron player, Union players cannot attack you.
  • Union elite mobs: Mobs in the protected area of the Union. As a Union player, you are safe.
Bless Online Elite Mobs
Source: KrystallAnn on Reddit

Especially in the south of the continent, many elite mobs can be found.

Hunting elite mobs is worth it. Certain elite mobs drop powerful weapons that significantly increase your equipment level. Especially between levels 30 and 45, it is advisable to always wear the best possible equipment, because you can be attacked by other players at any time in contested areas.

Elite mobs that can drop weapons can be recognized by the treasure chest symbol next to the skull.

Off to Southern Peninsula

In the southeast of the continent, there is a contested area with neutral elite mobs of high level. During the main quest, you will be teleported there, but theoretically, you can travel there as a level 1.

Why is it worth traveling there? For killing an elite mob in the area, you receive double the amount of experience points compared to taking down a normal elite mob. So, you only need to kill half as many enemies to achieve the same leveling progress. However, a detour to the area is advisable only from level 43. Many strong players are lurking there who would love to take you down.

Bless Online Shortcut

Moreover, almost all elite mobs there drop powerful weapons with which you can strengthen your class.

How do I get there? You head to the mountains east of Spezia and simply walk up the mountain. In front of you lies a short path through no man’s land. After a while, you will arrive at Southern Peninsula and can face the elite mobs.

In Life is Feudal: MMO you will soon be able to enslave players

Benedict Grothaus Benedict Grothaus Reading time 3 minutes

For a long time, it was quite silent about the Life is Feudal: MMO. Almost half a year after the Early Access release of Life is Feudal: MMO, there is now the first major update for the medieval survival game.

The update brings many innovations: With the first major update, developer Bitbox delivers a bunch of new features. New game content and a revised world await you, where you can switch between different servers.

Life is Feudal MMO Key Art Warriors and Farmers in the Dark Middle Ages

These are the major features of the update for Life is Feudal: MMO

Since the Early Access release of Life is Feudal: MMO, the game world has changed a bit. There are now more servers where you can play, sorted by colors: red for pure PvP with full destructibility of buildings, green for “99% safe cities” and less PvP.

Also check out our demo test: Life is Feudal is awesome!

The worlds are merged: The worlds (or servers) are no longer separate with the new update. Players can freely move between worlds and even switch and trade between green and red worlds.

However, there are some restrictions. Regular players can switch worlds only once a week, while premium players can do so every two days. But you can communicate with all players regardless of your world and trade with anyone at trade posts.

PvP in the Arena: In the new update, you can compete against other players in a PvP arena. The arena is a special area in the world where you can die without penalties on skills and respawn infinitely.

Up to 20 players compete in a free-for-all in the arena – without mounts. Killing opponents gives you points, which you lose upon death. A round lasts 15 minutes, and the player with the most points wins. As a reward, coins and PvP points await.

Life is Feudal MMO PvP Arena

Live your religion with the Clergy: As a new system alongside politics, war, and agriculture, the clergy is introduced. If you worship your god sufficiently during the week, you’ll become a Makthrid (Cardinal). The player with the highest faith value becomes Archimankur (Pope).

As Archimankur, you can spread your messages across the world and use your power to exclude entire guilds from the religious community. The clergy has a significant influence on politics – but the decisions of the Archimankur must be confirmed by his Makthrids.

New Outposts: With outposts, you can conveniently gather resources and expand your lands. Wherever you find a suitable place, you can establish an outpost that then produces specific resources for you.

Life is Feudal MMO Clergy

There are different types of outposts, such as mines, sawmills, mills, or quarries, which produce corresponding goods. In red worlds, posts are also available where you can produce slaves and Barmosag.

Enslave your enemies – whether players or NPCs: One of the most interesting features of the major “Life is Feudal: MMO” update is the slavery system. Slaves gather resources faster at outposts. Up to four slaves can work per outpost. The more slaves, the higher the productivity.

You can obtain slaves through trade, a slave outpost in red worlds, or by enslaving other players in red worlds. During the hour of reckoning, you can “enslave” other players. They then carry the title “enslaved” for two days, and the victor receives a slave in their inventory – players are not actually used as slaves. The gameplay does not change for slaves.

If you are not careful, you will be enslaved.

Leaderboards for Guilds: Guilds are listed at the end of a game day on a leaderboard. Points are calculated from the number, size, and quality of all buildings and immovable objects and items within the lands.

The Division 2: Wow, a poster shows a new city and new weapons!

Tarek Zehrer Tarek Zehrer Reading time 2 minutes

New information about The Division 2! An E3 poster reveals first details about the sequel to the successful online shooter ahead of the official presentation. Apparently, The Division 2 will feature a new city, a new season, and fresh weapons.

The wave of leaks before E3 2018 has now also affected The Division 2. A poster from the major gaming fair has already been photographed and uploaded to reddit. The poster unmistakably shows the setting of The Division 2: Washington D.C!

What is depicted on the poster? Three agents in combat gear are seen running towards a large building, which is clearly the Capitol in Washington D.C.

the division 2 setting

New City for The Division 2

Washington D.C. is the capital of the USA and is located near the East Coast. It is also home to the seat of the US government. Notable buildings include the White House, the Washington Monument, and the Capitol.

The city is home to, among others,

  • the World Bank,
  • the International Monetary Fund (IMF)
  • and the USA regional office of the World Health Organization (WHO).

New Season for The Division 2

Warmer times ahead? A winter scenario, as seen in The Division, seems unlikely based on the clothes the agents are wearing on the banner.

It looks like we might be facing a spring/summer setting in The Division 2.

the division 2 leak kapitol

Crossbows and Grenade Launchers Spotted

New weapon types on board? The depicted agents are also equipped with weapons that were not present in the predecessor. Crossbows seem to be included, as well as grenade launchers.

Whether these weapons will be freely selectable or belong to fixed classes and class skills is not known at this time.

Washington D.C. as the Setting for The Division 2

Fewer skyscrapers, more space: Washington D.C. is an interesting setting. The city is not a massive collection of skyscrapers like New York, with several million inhabitants. The buildings are mostly rather low and the city offers significantly more wide spaces.

How much of the city will ultimately be in the game remains to be seen. Only part of Manhattan made its way into The Division from New York.

Story-wise, the city definitely makes sense, as it is the seat of government and represents an important site for the World Health Organization. Perhaps Aaron Keener was planning a trip to D.C.?

How the Grand Operations play out in Battlefield 5 – First Gameplay

Sven Galitzki Sven Galitzki Reading time 3 minutes

Shortly after EA kicked off E3 2018 with the presentation of the new multiplayer trailer for Battlefield 5, there is now first official gameplay from the Grand Operations. We have summarized the details for you.

BF5 E3 4

After the release of the official multiplayer trailer for Battlefield 5 during EA’s appearance at E3 2018, there is finally some video material and further information about the Grand Operations – the potential centerpiece of the Battlefield 5 multiplayer. We explain what the Grand Operations are and how to play them.

This is how the Grand Operations work in Battlefield 5

What are the Grand Operations? The Grand Operations are a game mode in the multiplayer of Battlefield 5.

What makes the Grand Operations special? As the name suggests, these are large-scale operations and thus the most extensive mode in the multiplayer part of Battlefield 5. 64 players split into two teams compete against each other.

How do the Grand Operations unfold?

For both sides, the goal over several days is to accomplish a specific objective. However, days do not mean real 24 hours, but a prolonged match round. There will be up to four combat days. Each day a different game mode is played.

BF5 E3 2

Day 1: On the Narvik map from the video, the first day begins for the Allied attackers with an airborne invasion. As part of a paratrooper unit, you jump in at night over the map. You determine the drop location and time. But beware – if you hesitate too long, a quick death from the Wehrmacht’s anti-air fire threatens.

Once landed, the attackers initially have to destroy 4 anti-aircraft guns. To do this, they must first collect the explosives scattered across the map. Then the explosives must be placed on the guns.

More on the topic
Battlefield V: Here are 7 of the most important and coolest gameplay innovations
von Sven Galitzki

However, this sounds much easier than it actually is. Because the guns are well defended. Especially the Fortification feature – that is, the buildable fortifications – comes into play strongly here. Furthermore, after activating the explosives, they need to be protected for a while, as they can also be defused by the defenders.

Your advance can also be supported by various war equipment such as tanks, guns, and planes. But beware – heavy war machinery like tanks now has limited ammunition. Once the supplies are exhausted, they need to be replenished.

The more guns you destroy on Day 1, the more it will influence Day 2.

BF5 E3 3

Day 2: Day two now begins in daylight, and for the Allies, it is now about advancing further into the city. The game mode also changes. On Day 2, you play Breakthrough. Now, you have to capture several flags in succession. The defenders will try to push back the attackers with infantry and all available war machinery. The attackers must take sector after sector – until they have captured all or the tickets run out.

Days 3 and 4: In the build shown in the video, only the first two days were included. In the finished game, there will be up to four combat days. On each subsequent day, a different mode is played. If there is no clear winner on Day 3, the Final Stand mode will be active on the fourth and last day. Then, players from both teams spawn with only one life and very limited resources. The last survivor brings overall victory for the respective team.

Anthem: No loot boxes, no PvP, no twinks, no sequel

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 3 minutes

The new online shooter Anthem does not rely on loot boxes, but there will be opportunities to spend money in-game for cosmetic fluff. Also removed: romances and PvP. Twinks are not needed, and there doesn’t have to be a second part. What does it offer to the players instead?

Forget about loot boxes: During the EA Play, there was a “Deep Dive” into Anthem. It was clearly stated that Anthem will not have loot boxes. However, there will be cosmetic items, known as “Vanity Items.” Players will be able to buy them directly, without opening a box in the hope that the right item is inside.

You can’t spend money to become more powerful: Mark Darrah from BioWare also emphasized that there will be no way to pay to become more powerful.

Anthem Quartet

Lessons learned from Battlefront 2: In 2017, Electronic Arts clearly felt the wrath of the players when they connected loot boxes to the gameplay progress in “Star Wars Battlefront 2.” They claim to have learned that lesson. Now players can see the results of this lesson also in new games.

Co-op and friendship instead of PvP and romance

PvP initially removed: Additionally, Anthem will refrain from PvP for the time being. They want to emphasize the co-op elements of the game more. However, it is not excluded that PvP may eventually be added to Anthem.

Romances are also out: Anthem will not offer romances as players are used to from BioWare. However, friendly relationships with certain characters will be present.

The game will be developed for years: What Anthem offers is a further development of the game. BioWare is somewhat traumatized after Mass Effect Andromeda. That game could not be supported over the years as planned. With Anthem, exactly that is planned. The game should be built in a way that it can be expanded for years. New moments with characters, new world events, or even a new storyline can be brought into the game.

Anthem: No Twinks, no sequel

One Anthem should be enough: No further Anthem titles are planned – like with Destiny. One title that will be continuously expanded should suffice. They will likely rely on DLCs – this is the same concept as with The Elder Scrolls Online.

One character should suffice: Anthem starts with 4 different exosuits, that is the classes. However, you can switch suits between missions. Therefore, it is not necessary to play a second character.

Crossplay in Anthem is still open: It is still not determined whether players can play across platforms.

No info on a beta for Anthem: When it comes to the question “Will there be an open beta for Anthem?” the developer remains silent.

Anthem will probably only run at 30 FPS on PS4 and Xbox One

30 FPS for PS4 and Xbox One: There is still no definitive answer. The developer simply responds to the question “30 FPS?” with “30 FPS.” This suggests that Anthem will be locked at 30 FPS on PS4 and Xbox One. However, this does not apply to PC. The PC achieves higher frames. But that’s a somewhat too casual answer for such a sensitive issue – a more formal confirmation is awaited.

What about Anthem and the Nintendo Switch? There are no plans for a port of Anthem on the Switch.

Anthem will be released on February 22 for PS4, Xbox One, and PC.

With Origin Access Premier, you can play new PC games from EA before release

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time < 1 minutes

No patience to wait for a game release? With the new Origin Access Premier subscription, you can access new games early.

At E3 2018, EA presented new games and a subscription service. PC gamers are already familiar with the Origin platform, which now offers a new feature. With Origin Access Premier, EA provides the latest games like Anthem, Battlefield 5, or FIFA 19 for subscribers.

Origin Access Premier – Which games are included?

What makes Origin Access Premier new? The Premier add-on means players can play “all new PC games”. This includes Madden NFL, which is returning to PC, Battlefield 5 in Fall 2018, and Anthem next year.

Subscribers of the Premier service can play all the new PC games before the launch. And not just as a trial version, but the full game.

How much does Origin Access Premier cost? The Premier subscription for Origin Access is expected to cost $14.99 per month or $99.99 per year.

For PC, there is already Origin Access, which works similarly to the EA Access program on Xbox One. You have a selection of nearly 100 games in the “Vault” that you can try out there. Just not the latest games – those are available in Premier.

Hier ist der neue Gameplay-Trailer zu Anthem von der E3 2018

Leya Jankowski Leya Jankowski Reading time < 1 minutes

At E3 2018, a new gameplay trailer for Anthem was presented. Here, world events featuring large bosses were shown, giving you a deeper impression of the world. 

What did the trailer show? In the trailer, a group of “Freelancers” is seen. There was again a focus on the flight capability of the exosuits, allowing players to move from A to B. There were more impressions of the gunplay and the PvE battles in the group. However, there wasn’t much new to see here.

When is Anthem coming out? The release date for Anthem is February 22, 2019. It is set to release simultaneously for PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4. This has been confirmed by Electronic Arts.

What is Anthem? The online shooter from Electronic Arts is said to be similar to Destiny, but is played in third-person. You play either alone or with up to three other players in a large, lively open world. Here, you are out as a “Freelancer” protecting humanity from a hostile environment. The focus is meant to be on cooperative play.

Anthem will not have PvP, the focus is on the PvE experience

Leya Jankowski Leya Jankowski Reading time 3 minutes

During E3 2018, new information about the online shooter Anthem was revealed. The focus is supposed to be heavily on PvE, and initially, they want to avoid PvP.

Coop is at the forefront: BioWare’s Lead Producer Mike Gamble and Game Director Jon Warner talked with GamePro about Anthem. Here, they revealed that while Anthem can be played solo, the core of the shared-world shooter lies in the coop experience. The interview also yielded more interesting information.

Dedicated Servers and Drop-In/Drop-Out

Anthem is supposed to be a great experience with friends: The developers place great importance on providing players with an awesome multiplayer experience with friends. One of the problems in multiplayer is figuring out with whom to play, whom to invite, and which invitation to accept. The developers have been addressing this.

Dedicated servers and Drop-In/Drop-Out are supposed to make the experience “seamless”: Anthem’s coop system is designed to make everything as seamless as possible. Dedicated servers are meant to ensure that freelancers can explore the world together with up to four players. To provide players with temporal flexibility, there is also a Drop-In/Drop-Out feature.

No PvP in Anthem at Launch

It’s about cooperation, not competition: Mike Gamble and Jon Warner assured that there would be no player-versus-player in Anthem. While the developers do not completely rule it out, they definitely want to focus on the cooperative experience. This also excludes a battle royale mode for Anthem.

Anthem Will Not Have BioWare-Typical Romance

There will be relationships, but they are platonic: BioWare is known for players being able to form relationships with other characters in the game. This will not be the case for Anthem.

In Anthem, there will also be deep relationships between characters, but these will be purely platonic. The relationships are meant to be impactful due to the fates that these characters bring with them.

The relationship with Garrus in Mass Effect, which was a romance option for female Shepherds, is a good example of this. For many players, he remained Commander Shepard’s best friend in memory. These friendships are also intended to exist in Anthem.

No Loot Boxes in Anthem

There will be microtransactions in Anthem, but loot boxes are not part of it. Lead Producer Mike Gamble and Game Director Jon Warner confirmed: “No loot boxes in Anthem! We are very happy to say that. We want to provide an experience that is satisfying and enjoyable right from the start. We are not selling power, we are not selling progress, so no loot boxes.”

The third-person shooter also emphasizes cooperation.

Anthem will be released on February 22 for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.

Star Wars Battlefront 2 gets Clone Wars because fans wanted it

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

At E3, EA unveiled the new expansion for Star Wars Battlefront II – it’s about the Clone Wars!

The E3 announcements have started, and EA is making a big splash. In particular, the beleaguered Star Wars Battlefront II is causing a stir, as the fans’ wishes have been heard. The “Han Solo” expansion was a disappointment, but now there’s reason to celebrate – the Clone Wars are coming to Battlefront II, with the aptly named DLC “Clone Wars”.

Clone Wars was a fan request

The largest map of all time. One of the highlights is said to be the new map on the planet Geonosis, which was seen in Episode II. This is expected to be the largest map ever experienced in Battlefront II. It should set new standards for large battles.

General Grievous, Count Dooku, and Obi-Wan are coming

Battlefront 2 Geonosis

At least three new heroes. A new expansion also comes with new heroes. Some familiar characters, particularly those appearing in Episode 3, will be included. The choices are the lightsaber collector General Grievous, the notorious Count Dooku, and Obi-Wan Kenobi.

When will “Clone Wars” be released? The bad news is that there is still no release date for the “Clone Wars” expansion. It’s only said to take place “later this year”, historically situated between Episodes II and III – during the times of the Clone Wars.

At E3, the developers apologized once again for the mistakes they made at the launch of Battlefront II – particularly the loot boxes were a problem. They intend to “correct” these mistakes and listen more to the community. Fulfilling the request for “Clone Wars” should be an important first step on this path.

Are you excited about the new DLC for Battlefront and the Clone Wars? Or has the train already left for you, and you are no longer interested in Battlefront II? Let us know in the comments!

EA presented a new gameplay trailer for the online shooter Anthem at E3 2018. The combat system and the special exosuits “Javelin” are introduced. 

What did the trailer show? The trailer shows more about the world of Anthem. The people built a great wall that protects their civilization from the outside world. Here are large monsters, and only “Freelancers” can venture outside the wall. In the trailer, we see some features of the exosuits that you fight in as a Freelancer: The Javelin. With the suits, Freelancers can fly, dive, and use various attacks.

You can see gameplay of Anthem in this video:

Anthem has at least 4 different classes

Javelin exosuits have different “classes”: There will be at least 4 different Javelins. For example, there is a “Colossus,” which specializes in close combat. The “Ranger” stays more at a distance and seems to be quicker. Also included: Storm and Interceptor.

When is Anthem coming? The release date for Anthem is February 22, 2019. It is scheduled to be released simultaneously for PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4. This has been confirmed by Electronic Arts.

Release date of Anthem is known for PC, PS4, Xbox One

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 3 minutes

For the new game Anthem by Electronic Arts, the release date might already be known. A leak from Amazon Italy just before EA Play states the release date as February 19 for PC, PS4, and Xbox One. This aligns with the information that is already known.

Leak just before EA Play: Today at 8 PM, Electronic Arts plans to kick off the press conference, EA Play, E3 2018. However, it seems that the release date for your Destiny-like shooter Anthem is already known. According to a leak from “Amazon Italy”, the release date for the shooter is February 19, 2019. It is supposed to be released simultaneously for PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4.

Update: It is now known that the release date is February 22.

Leak-Anthem

Amazon Italy was too early: Amazon Italy is the source of this leak. They state the release date. The description on Amazon is still visible. The leak is relatively plausible. Apparently, a page went live one or two hours too early. Whether the leak is really correct will be revealed in a few hours.

Release date fits: Officially, the release date for Anthem was last aimed for March 2019. However, Electronic Arts left the option open to make the game playable earlier in early access. The shooter has already been postponed once: Originally, Anthem was planned for 2018, but Electronic Arts has since distanced itself from that and made it seem that the plan has always been for early 2019.

Anthem sounds like 4-Player Coop

Is there anything else in the leak? There are 3 sentences in Italian about Anthem. Since my Italian only suffices to order a pizza, here is the machine translation:

  • In a world unfinished by the gods, a dark faction threatens the rest of humanity.
  • Play with three other companions and assemble armor technology forged for battle with unique abilities.
  • Explore huge ruins, fight deadly enemies, and create your own supernatural artifacts.

Anthem is considered a Destiny competitor

Still little known: Even though there is still little known about Anthem, it is assumed that the title can be seen as EA’s answer to “Destiny”, albeit as a third-person shooter. According to reports from the US magazine Kotaku, BioWare is painfully aware of the similarity to Destiny. Allegedly, they fear suffering the same fate as Destiny 2: a community that struggles with the game and complains that there is too little content available. But these are still unconfirmed rumors at the moment.

Gameplay Innovations – More Control for the Player

EA aims to give players greater control over the game with FIFA 19, which was a major criticism in FIFA 18. These changes are intended to have a greater impact on both the tactical and technical aspects of FIFA 19’s gameplay.

  • The new Active Touch system allows for tighter ball control,
  • Dynamic Tactics provide more extensive and readily accessible strategies,
  • 50/50 battles enable a more physical and skill-based fight for the ball,
  • shooting timing gives players more control during goal attempts,
  • and the enhanced Real Player Motion Technology brings more player personality and more realistic and authentic animations.

Unfortunately, EA did not show any videos of the new gameplay but instead focused on highlighting the free World Cup mode of FIFA 18. More information will follow soon.

Better graphics for the Switch: For the Switch, FIFA 19 aims to offer a better gaming experience with a new engine but the story mode featuring Alex Hunter is not included.
