Anthem's Last Day: Bittersweet Farewell and Fight for Survival
Anthem's final day ends quietly, but its diehards are already dreaming of a resurrection. Electronic Arts confirmed the permanent closure of the game after years of declining player numbers and failed revitalization attempts.
The final day saw Twitch streamers and veteran players emoting in Launch Bay, while the Reddit community flooded with screenshots and achievement pop-ups.
Lauren Morton, a longtime player, described the scene:
"It's not empty, but it is quiet."
The community's response has focused on potential revivals through private servers or offline modes, defying EA's decision.
The game's identity crisis—as described in a recent review—never fully resolved. Players who once "loved the bones and skin" of the system now face a void where their shared memories once thrived.
Yet the subreddit remains active, with fans debating technical workarounds to keep the game alive.
