The next big title from Electronic Arts and BioWare continues to build anticipation. Since we first saw Anthem at E3 2017, the company has been gradually revealing details about this incredible adventure, which will arrive on PS4 , Xbox One , and PC via Origin on February 22nd.
This is the story of Anthem
As you'll see in the first chapter of This is Athem , the game takes place in Athem, a world the Shaper Gods never finished, where humanity struggles to survive in large fortified cities with the help of Javelins—complex exosuits that grant their wearers superhuman abilities crucial for survival in the unexplored world of Athem. These soldiers are called Freelancers , and they will scour every corner of the world to seize control of the Anthem of Creation , a powerful force that in the wrong hands could unleash chaos.
That will be the main task, and to achieve it we will have to equip our halberd with different abilities, weapons, and accessories to complete and overcome the missions that come our way. To start with the story we will have to choose a type of halberd that will be locked at the beginning of the game. There are four different ones, and these are their main characteristics.

Halberd Types Available in Anthem
The four characters that we can choose in Anthem are these:
- Interceptor: Quick and agile to sneak out of danger zones and make very fast interceptions. Ideal for those accustomed to speed and quick reflexes.
- Command: Straight shot. He is one of the most complete and balanced characters, with great firepower.
- Colossus: Designed for containment actions. It has great resistance and will be in charge of unblocking large defenses with its great brutal force. On the contrary, she is slower than the rest.
- Storm: His magical powers will cause great damage from a distance, although he has a weak defense in his armor.
Whichever halberd you choose, you will be able to customize it as you progress through the game to refine the attack and defense points that stand out the most. You will be able to change aspects such as paint and materials, and select different animations with which to bring your character to life.
Anthem will hit stores on February 22, but you can get the chance to play early access if you have an EA Access or Origin Access account.
