So for a bit of fun, Anthem is targeted to launch 'fall 2018', but will it? What do you think is Anthem's most likely launch month?  |

March 2019. I'm skeptical (especially after MEA's reception) that they'll actually release in next year.

I said April 2019 or later simply because they need to have realized this game cannot be received anything less than positively, obviously they be ppl who dislike it thats a given, but it needs to be well received by the majority with little to no controversy, will it receive controversy? Yes prob from existing BioWare fans/haters or press looking for a few likes but im hoping if they do there job right the majority will give it the praise it deserves if it deserves it, BioWare and EA will know the pressure and to a extent the spotlight will be on this game an ppl will go through it with a fine comb so i believe anything from 6 month to possibly 2 years delay is possible, what i dont think will happen is Anthem being released in 2018, i hope im wrong tbh i norm am

I recall Aaryn saying in December 2016 that the EA higher-ups were impressed by how 'done' it was.
But BioWare are still hiring Anthem jobs, so a little confusing...

March 2019. I'm skeptical (especially after MEA's reception) that they'll actually release in next year. Yes, the last month of fiscal year is a good guess. So, it's rumored that Anthem has been in dev since 2012. So, that's be eight years of dev time. Anything's possible (that they'll hit next year), but for a new ip- they need to hit a grand slam with this one. I'm also aware that they probably didn't start full dev till much later, but still that's a long time; like Last Guardian long time. |

Depending on what kind of lineup EA has for October/November 2018 I could see them pushing BioWare to keep that date. The only thing I can think of off the top of my head that they have there right now is a new Battlefield game confirmed for 2018(and it'll probably be around that time).
That said if it doesn't hit that, then March 2019 seems the most likely.

I saw Tracker Network have reserved and announced they'd like to cover Anthem. Why they would rather cover Anthem than SW BF I don't have any idea, but there it is.

Fall 2018 for EA will be Battlefield's moment and to AAA online focused games from EA both releasing in Fall 2018 would be in a way stupid. So come E3 2018 it would be revealed that Spring 2019 is the Anthem release date. Perhaps we get a beta in Fall 2018. |

I hope BioWare will release it when it's really, really done.
As the period Fall to Spring is all within the fiscal year 2018/19 there shouldn't be any unnecessary pressure.
(it was slated for Spring 2018 before being shifted, so it will have had up to a year extra time)

When I saw that Anthem wasn't on the Game Awards "Most Anticipated" List, I started to wonder if it would make 2018.
So yeah, I'm leaning towards March 2019 now...

I recall Aaryn saying in December 2016 that the EA higher-ups were impressed by how 'done' it was. But BioWare are still hiring Anthem jobs, so a little confusing... The industry has a lot of turnover, and with hundreds of people working on Anthem I'm not surprised. They might also be pulling people over to the Dragon Age team. The "done" comment is interesting though, it makes me wonder if some feature wasn't working out the way they hoped, or feature creep, etc. There's a host of reasons why development might have taken a turn somewhere... |

The delay announcement that Anthem would fall out of financial year 2017/18 into the next fiscal period came in May 2017, so only a month after MEA's launch. www.polygon.com/2017/5/9/15600638/bioware-new-ip-delayI assume a conversation along the lines of: 'are you sure you can launch Anthem in March without screwing it up?' and the safer preference was to spend some more time on the game. I have to view that as a sensible call and a desire to get it right (because the price of getting it wrong would be significant, financially as well as reputationally). |

Not surprising if the launch date is moved back to spring 2019. The spotlight on the loot box shenanigans must have given Bio pause to re-think their LB implementation and level progression mechanics.
Unless a delay of the game violates the 2018-19 investors Guidance, Anthem will take some additional time to flesh out and test a modified MT/LB system. To me it's just prudence but if EA's earnings for the financial year took a beating because of SWBF2, Wilson may yet force a game launch to meet their original goals.
On a side note, I wonder if Wilson will be present and be speaker for Anthem in the 2018 E3 show. Also wondering if those present will have long memories and show it by their reaction to his PR crap. (🌸=◡=)

My personal hope (and vote) is for October 2018, since my birthday is in October. That may be a bit self-centered, but a new Bioware game would make the perfect gift for me.
If it needs to be delayed, I'm fine with that. I just hope that it can be delayed without some assuming that the game is in trouble. In the long run, delaying the game is almost always better for the devs and for the customers. We shouldn't discourage it, especially if it helps deliver a better and more complete product.
