However, the team knew that the game wasn’t in a fit state to launch, but the decisions to push the game out anyway were made well above their pay grades.He continued that things could have turned out much better had management and Electronic Arts had kept things in check, and reckons that a sequel or Anthem 2.0 would have been solid.Related Content – Sony PS5 Complete Guide – Everything Explained About PlayStation 5 For New Owners In 2023Anthem was released in February 2019 for PS4, PC, and Xbox One, and arrived on the back of a tidal wave of hype, having been billed by many as EA’s answer to Destiny.
