EA Investor presentation confirms Anthem release in March 2019

Yeah, when they mentioned a Q1 2019 release, I figured that is what they were shooting for...

There’s also the early access thing that has me curious. Very few early access games do it right, and by that I mean they’ll either stay in early access for so long that they can skirt fan complains as they’re still “in development” a year or so after being introduced (PUBG is a big culprit of this) or they’ll charge extra be it MicroTs or expansions. The idea of early access isn’t bad, but like most of the industry uses it in a non friendly way....

Fortnite is another culprit, games PvE still has yet to be finished and I doubt it ever will with Epic Games main priority being the Battle Royale mode since that’s what saved the franchise. Kind of sucks when you had a group who spent 40$+ only to then be on the back burner.

I’m curious if Anthem’s early access will be like a beta or a simple “pre-order and get to play 4 days prior to launch”. Probably won’t be the latter if they’re wanting to act on feedback so I’d guess some kind of beta which I’d assume E3 will announce on.

As for anthems launch period: no surprise, Bioware games typically launch there anyways.
