EA Will Shut Down Anthem in January

  • Electronic Arts announced on July 3, 2025, that it will shut down BioWare's online game Anthem on January 12, 2026.
  • This decision follows BioWare's cessation of active Anthem development in February 2021 and the cancellation of the Anthem NEXT redesign.
  • Anthem launched in January 2019 for PlayStation 4, PC, and Xbox One, eventually reaching sales of 5 million copies, which was below EA's goal of 6 million within the initial months.
  • EA announced that it has discontinued all ongoing development efforts for Anthem, also known as Anthem NEXT, and emphasized that this move did not lead to any employee layoffs.
  • As of July 3, 2025, players are no longer able to buy premium in-game currency, and starting August 15, 2025, Anthem will no longer be available on EA Play, though it can still be downloaded by those who already own it until the servers shut down.
