Download the Anthem demo right now! (update)
Get that download started.
Updated February 1, 2019: The Anthem "Open Demo" is now available to everyone until February 3.
Anthem is an upcoming shared world third-person shooter from BioWare. BioWare is the studio behind famous franchises like Dragon Age and Mass Effect. Anthem is expected to launch on February 22, 2019, but that hasn't stopped the developer from releasing new details about the project.
While we all know about the game's various customization options and story at this point, you can get your hands on the experience on January 25. A special "VIP Demo" is taking place for three days. However, you have to either subscribe to EA Access or preorder the game to play early. The VIP Demo requires you to log into your EA Account to verify your status it seems. Anyone can download the 23 GB file on Xbox One X, but not everyone can play it. There will be another demo available in early February so don't delete the download if you want to experience the title again.
Hopefully the game will be a polished experience when it launches in February. However, only time will tell. A lot of gamers are skeptical given how Mass Effect: Andromeda turned out.
