Hey Freelancers,

We wanted to share a quick update regarding the future of r/AnthemTheGame.

We recently announced plans to move the subreddit into a read-only (archived) state at the end of January. After hearing the immediate and clear feedback from the community, it became obvious that there is still a strong desire to keep this space open for discussion, memories and potential future Anthem-related projects.

Because of that, the plan to archive the subreddit has been canceled.

Instead, the focus is now on refreshing and rebuilding the moderation team so the subreddit can c

Hey Freelancers,

With Anthem's servers having officially shut down earlier this month, we want to let you know what the next step is for this subreddit.

On January 31st, 2026, r/AnthemTheGame will be moved into read-only (archived) mode. After that date, no new posts or comments can be made, but the subreddit and everything shared here will remain visible as an archive.

We wanted to give everyone a clear heads-up ahead of time, in case you want to wrap up ongoing discussions, share a final farewell or reflection, or revisit and comment on old threads, screenshots, stories and memories. You still have about 9–10 days to do so.

Anthem may not have become what many of us hoped it would, but

We've seen a good number of similar threads asking for opinions from current players about the current state of Anthem. As such, we've decided to create this thread to collect as many opinions from current players as possible for new and returning players, and we'll be redirecting people who create their own threads to this thread. We will recreate this thread either six months from now or after major changes to the game, whichever comes first.

Please make your comments in good faith. We will remove comments that we feel are disingenuous (such as trolling or brigading) but we do allow both good and bad reviews, as long they're honest. Thank you!

Howdy everyone. By now, you may have already heard the news that Anthem has officially ceased development.

In the spirit of transparency and closure we wanted to share that we’ve made the difficult decision to stop our new development work on Anthem (aka Anthem NEXT). We will, however, continue to keep the Anthem live service running as it exists today.

This means while Anthem will not recieve any updates or patches in the future, the servers will continue to function in their current state. People can still play Anthem for as long the servers remain up.

Given the circumstances, we are also making significant changes in how we m

Three days ago, the hashtag #IBelieveInAnthem started to trend across Twitter and social media as Anthem fans and players reacted to the news that in the coming weeks, EA would be considering whether to devote more support to the game or pull the plug. On Saturday, a user from r/Titanfall made a post simply titled "#IBelieveInAnthem" in which they "sent" a Titan to the subreddit as a gesture of goodwill and support. After this the floodgates opened, as numerous players of all kinds of games, from Battleborn to Warframe and pretty much everything in betwe

It's tough to find comprehensive sources of information on the coming Anthem update. EA's official Anthem page barely even mentions it, and the few sources out there that report on new information coming either don't try to provide a comprehensive look at all we know or aren't kept up to date. This post will be a regularly updated compilation of all information confirmed by official sources regarding the coming Anthem revamp. The aim is to provide a one-stop shop for newer players wondering what's going on, as well as an easy reference other players can use to check rumors against.

Hello, Freelancers. We know it's been a while since our last update. We've been discussing things behind the scenes and want to address some of the sources of frustration in our subreddit. Thank you for your patience.

###Popcorn Mentality

We've added an addition to Rule 1 about 'popcorn mentality' that's been a problem on our subreddit for a while.

Popcorn mentality is expressing a desire to watch drama unfold instead of engaging with the community in good faith.

What it comes down to is that if you're just on the subreddit for the popcorn, then the subreddit is not for you. r/AnthemTheGam
