Electronic Arts just announced the death of their troubled game Anthem. The company will pull the plug on all servers during January 2026. Players have about six months left to enjoy the failed shooter before it disappears forever. Many gamers expressed shock that the game was still running after all these years.
BioWare created Anthem back in 2019 but the launch went horribly wrong. The flying mechanics worked great but everything else felt broken and incomplete. The studio struggled with making this type of action game since they specialize in story-driven adventures. EA forced them to build something completely outside their comfort zone.
Company executives tried to save the project with a major overhaul called Anthem 2.0. Development teams worked hard to fix the countless problems plaguing the online experience. The rescue mission failed completely and EA canceled all future updates during 2021. The game has been sitting empty on company servers ever since.
EA stopped selling premium currency for Anthem starting today. Players can still spend any leftover digital money they already purchased. The company thanked loyal fans for sticking with the game through its troubled existence. Very few people have been playing Anthem recently according to online activity reports.
Gaming websites report that most players forgot Anthem even existed anymore. The announcement surprised many industry watchers who assumed EA had already killed the servers. Players have exactly 193 days remaining to experience the game before it vanishes permanently. EA will redirect those server resources to more successful games.
